• Build sources at bond issuers, underwriters, investment managers and rating agencies in order to deliver scoops, especially on distressed firms, restructuring plans and regulatory changes
• Be able to quickly write intraday stocks and bond market moves, spot and do useful reporting on the biggest themes of the day
• Write with authority and insight about risks and opportunities in China's capital markets
• Communicate and collaborate across bureaus and teams

You'll need to have:

• A minimum of 2 recent years of experience in financial journalism or a financial institution
