Reporter, Special Situations
LevFin Insights, a Fitch Solutions Company, seeks a Special Situations Reporter based out of our New York office.
The LevFin Insights special situations team provides capital market news and commentary on actionable events within the corporate high yield bond and leveraged loan markets. With a sharp focus on companies that are battling financial distress, our coverage often hits on restructuring strategies, creditor negotiations, advisory mandates, bankruptcy proceedings, litigations, operational and financial performance, and trading opportunities.
What We Offer:
The chance to join a team that has become the go-to source of news and analysis for leveraged finance, including events in the distressed and event-driven marketplaces.
Training to become an expert on all things corporate finance related.
A publishing platform that is read by the most influential dealmakers in the world.
The resources and opportunities that come with a large corporation like Fitch, but the workflow and nimbleness of a start-up newsroom.
Competitive pay, great benefits and hybrid work setup.
Work with driven individuals that value work-life balance, mental health and giving back to the community.
We’ll Count On You To:
Build a network of Wall Street sources to deliver exclusive, source-driven news and insight pieces.
Produce real-time stories throughout each market session.
Identify market trends and write timely insight pieces for a sophisticated audience of banks, asset managers and advisory firms.
Be a team player – willing to collaborate with complementary Fitch Solutions teams such as Covenant Review and CreditSights as we work toward team goals and further growth of LFI ’s special situations platform.
What You Need To Have:
A drive to break news in a fast-paced environment.
Strong communication skills to drive internal collaboration and build external relationships across the capital markets arena.
Accuracy, ability to meet deadlines and produce insightful stories.
Curiosity; high aptitude for critical thinking and willingness to dive deep into the details.
Proficiency, or at least familiarity, with financial data.
2+ years covering financial markets or business is preferred.
We will consider early-career candidates who need additional training, as well as senior level candidates with years of experience and high-level expertise.
What Would Make You Stand Out:
General resourcefulness and street smarts.
History of uncovering important stories and scoops in whatever beat you've been assigned.
Experience covering corporate credit markets, particularly distressed credits.
Source network in the corporate credit markets.
Knowledge of financial statements, SEC filings and legal documents.
