This position has a broad and special mandate: explaining the financial markets to investors and consumers in daily coverage and through high-level enterprise stories. The successful candidate must be a critical thinker and be well sourced among investors, traders and other Wall Street experts. The candidate must identify market trends and write authoritative stories with flair and clarity. The candidate must be an idea machine; somebody who sees stories where others see fog.
