Energy Markets Correspondent, New York or Houston

Reuters is seeking a sharply focused, relentlessly driven journalist who is passionate about breaking news to join the U.S. energy team, helping cover the most important story of the decade – the shale oil revolution, everything from the implications of major political decisions on oil-train safety to pipeline disruptions that roil physical markets to the inside story on who is winning (or losing) from the race to export crude. As part of a team of a dozen reporters covering North American oil, the successful candidate will focus primarily on producing enterprising scoops and unearthing hidden aspects of the opaque, dynamic domestic crude oil market. The reporter will need to develop deep contacts in the secretive industry to master increasingly complex arbitrage activity, understand how traders can profit from volatile shifts in fundamentals and write authoritatively about market trends – before our competitors do. With a strong source base and growing expertise, the reporter will be expected to produce exclusive news that will set the agenda not only for our core energy market users, but also for smart financial professionals across the world.

Mergers and Acquisitions Correspondent, New York

Reuters is looking for a strong reporter and writer to join our New York-based mergers team with an emphasis on breaking news about deals and dealmakers. One of the highest pressure jobs at Reuters, but also one of the most rewarding, the M&A reporting job is one that demands strong source-building skills and a passion for being first on the news that matters most to our customers. Based in New York, you will be at the center of it all and get the chance to build relationships with the movers and shakers of the elaborate Wall Street deal machine. The M&A reporting team is one of our most enterprising and represents the vanguard of Reuters effort to set the news agenda ourselves rather than writing up press releases and filings. Coverage will include writing about or analyzing deals that have already happened, coordinating with beat reporters to identify those businesses or industries ripest for dealmaking and tirelessly chasing down any and all leads. M&A reporters are responsible for writing regular "Dealtalk" columns that examine trends in the takeover. Above all, you are expected to be constantly talking to clued-in sources whether on the phone or via face-to-face meetings.

Options Correspondent, New York or Chicago The Reuters financial markets team is seeking a seasoned and intrepid reporter to lead our coverage of the U.S. equity options market, an ungainly montage of more than a dozen exchanges, most of them all electronic, scattered around the country. It's where derivative bets are placed on the near- and long-term prospects for some 4,000 U.S.-listed companies, often employing exotic and colorfully labeled strategies such as "straddles," "strangles," "condor spreads" and "Christmas tree butterflies." It's also a favored venue of major hedging activity by large institutional investors. In an equities market complex where volume is generally trending lower, the options market continues to experience growth in both trading volume and listings. It's also a market where savvy speculators can turn cheap bets on big moves in stock prices into instant millions. It is rife with rumors about pending deals that can send calls soaring and puts plummeting. It can also be a hotbed of insider trading activity. All that adds up to boundless opportunity for exclusives and big scoops by the right reporter, one with top-flight sources, a nose for unusual and suspicious market activity and the ability to write it all in engaging prose. The options market has its own unique math, dominated by complex calculations for determining implied volatilities, the bedrock of pricing in the sector. We won't ask you to take a calculus test, but you must be numerate and have the capability to sift confidently through mountains of data to spot trends, seize upon outsize market moves and expose not-so-infrequent cases of illicit activity.
