Job Details

Description

PEI is the only global B2B information group focused exclusively on private equity, private real estate, private debt, infrastructure, and investing. As these classes continue to grow in scale and significance – for investors, fund managers, financial practitioners, and other service industries globally – PEI is positioned to provide unparalleled business knowledge and intelligence to these communities.


Formed in London in November 2001, PEI publishes globally recognized magazines and news websites, manages an extensive set of databases dedicated to alternative assets, runs more than 50 market-leading conferences globally, and publishes a large library of specialist books.

Purpose of Role

PFCFO covers the private funds finance and accounting community, with a focus on private equity firms. Specifically, the reporter will write exclusive, insightful, and actionable stories about the often complex issues facing CFOs and their teams, from regulation, compliance and tax to investor reporting, human capital, ESG matters, technology and outsourcing.

Reporters will aim to produce content that leads with analysis and informed perspective. This will involve collaborating with the editor on ideas, sourcing, and story structures with an eye to delivering valuable information that consistently speaks to our core audience of CFOs and their finance and accounting teams.

Other responsibilities will include writing articles that profile firms and people, identify and analyze trends in fund financing, fundraising and other activities, and other key community developments including key personnel moves. At all times, however, the goal is to seek out the impact of those developments rather than merely recounting the news.
