Senior Reporter, Private Equity job at London Full Time NEW

Cover private equity dealmaking for one of the most established intelligence services in the sector, with a readership of GPs, deal advisors, and investment bankers across North America and Europe.

The role is scoop-driven at its core. You will break exclusive news on companies coming to market, develop coverage of transactions, exits, and add-ons, and write analytical features that look beyond single deals to examine what is moving the market. You will also author the publication’s flagship newsletter, which lands daily in the inboxes of PE executives across the globe.

The team is tightly focused and well regarded across the industry. You will work alongside experienced reporters and have real influence over the direction of European coverage as the desk continues to grow. The publication offers two clear paths for progression: into editorial leadership, or as a senior individual contributor developing your own franchise within the market.

Beyond day-to-day reporting, the role includes representing the publication at industry conferences, contributing to podcasts and sector-focused features, and sharing expertise with less experienced members of the team.

Key responsibilities

• Break exclusive deal news on PE investments, exits, and add-ons, and write analytical features on M&A trends across Europe

• Author the publication’s morning newsletter on a regular basis, growing in frequency over time

• Build and maintain a strong contact book across PE partners, investment bankers, and deal advisors

• Incorporate internal and external data into coverage, and produce tables and infographics where appropriate

• Represent the publication at industry events and conferences, taking on moderator roles as relevant

Key requirements

• Experience at a specialist financial news publication in a scoop-oriented role

• The ability to write with clarity and speed across news, analysis, and long-form formats

• Full right to work in the UK as visa sponsorship is not available for this position
