Job Description

The opportunity

Inframation is the world’s leading provider of news, analysis and research to the infrastructure finance industry.

We are seeking an energetic and tenacious financial journalist with prior experience in news editing who has a sound understanding of corporate finance and how capital markets work.

Initially, the role will involve editing news copy for the Inframation Asia daily online news bulletin. Over time there is potential to for the Assistant Editor to take on news diary planning, feature scheduling and commissioning freelance assignments. The role may also involve covering breaking news events as and when required.  

About you

To succeed in this role, you will be passionate about breaking news, have sound judgement and critical thinking ability, be able to process complex information in short time frames and have a scrupulous attention to detail.

Requirements:

  • A minimum of three years’ financial journalism experience
  • Experience editing news copy
  • You thrive when working in a fast-paced environment
  • An ability to stay calm under pressure while meeting tight deadlines
  • Solid news judgement and ability to prioritise multiple tasks
