    EIC, Energy Markets News Reuters News is seeking an exceptional journalist, an inspirational leader and an insightful editor to lead coverage of the most important story of the decade - the North American shale revolution, and its transformative impact on global energy markets. The broad contours of this story are well established, as surging U.S. production and falling imports promise an economic revival that will fundamentally alter America's position in the world. But beyond the headlines, the energy trade story has never been in greater flux, from the Keystone pipeline to decades-old export restrictions; the rise of natural gas vehicles to the decline of coal-fired power plants; oil-train arbitrage to Jones Act tankers; Latin America fuel exports to U.S. biofuel policy; the shrinking role of Wall Street to the renewed rise of trading merchants. In an ever-changing landscape with prices and politics constantly shifting, traders and investors are more reliant than ever on smart journalism.

    Energy Companies Correspondent, Houston

    Reuters is looking for a talented and experienced correspondent to join its team in Houston and deliver high-impact coverage of companies in the booming U.S. energy sector – with exclusives, insightful analyses and special reports that define trends and break news before our competitors. The candidate would be part of a team that has responsibility for covering some of the biggest companies in the world, including majors such as Chevron or Exxon and giant oil field services firms like Schlumberger or Baker-Hughes. Energy companies are fascinating to cover for journalists. They have enormous capital budgets and operate in the most politically and technologically challenging places on earth, with armies of lobbyists who tangle with environmental regulators as their engineers push the boundaries of science to recover hard-to-reach oil. In the United States, they are driving an energy renaissance that, thanks to hydraulic fracturing, has lifted oil output to a 25-year high and prompted controversial calls for Congress to scrap a decades old ban on crude exports. The successful applicant must be able to tap high-level sources at companies, along with traders, government officials, investors, geologists, bankers and lobbyists to produce important exclusives and agenda-setting initiative pieces. The correspondent will also cover a broad spectrum of spot news competitively and write smart and analytical pieces on deadline. She or he will report to the Houston Bureau Chief and proactively coordinate with the regional company news editor and, as needed, the regional commodities & energy editor in New York. This job requires frequent collaboration with energy reporters in London, the Middle East, Africa, Russia and India, among other places, to write about a multitude of companies that have a global reach from their headquarters in Houston.

    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.
