Mexico Finance Reporter

Bloomberg News is seeking a well-sourced, experienced and collaborative reporter to cover the banking sector in Mexico. The job offers a unique opportunity to become the face of a core beat for one of the world's leading news organizations.
 
From the upcoming Banamex IPO to the intense competition between foreign and domestically owned lenders with an aggressive cohort of fintech companies angling for high-speed growth, we're looking for someone to capture the tensions, pesos and personalities driving one of Mexico's biggest industries. We want to cover how these banks are shaping the broader economy and how they're responding to the ripple effects from high interest rates and the new political administration.
 
We're looking for a well-sourced reporter who can break news and has the in-depth knowledge to explain firms' strategies and their implications. The ideal candidate can pivot from on-the-day news to bigger pieces and has the ability to juggle multiple stories and responsibilities at the same time.
 
We want a self-starter who understands our readers and can break news on everything from CEO changes to new initiatives to major deals. You should have a track record of developing sources, breaking high-impact news and writing longer-form enterprise pieces. Experience covering banks is a plus, as would experience doing TV hits or video clips for social media to ensure your reporting gets multiplied across all our many formats.
 
We'll trust you to:

• Constantly develop sourcing at the highest levels in order to break the biggest news in the industry.
• Produce quick-fire stories as well as long-term enterprise that inform our readers.
• Collaborate both within the banking team and across the newsroom.
• Explore original ways to tell our biggest stories.
• Take the initiative and drive our coverage of the banking industry.
 
You'll need to have:

• Minimum of three years reporting and experience of finance and breaking news.
• A proven ability to build deep sourcing.
• Sound news judgement and a talent for looking beyond the obvious story.
