Through our extensive suite of products, Money-Media delivers must-have content that helps people do their jobs better and supports the business IQ of hundreds of thousands of readers across the world.

Join us and find an inclusive and fast-paced environment with unique opportunities to support every step of your career.

Role Overview

Ignites, an online daily from the Financial Times, is looking for a reporter to join its team covering the retail fund industry.

This reporter will cover lawsuits filed by and against asset-management companies as well as litigation trends in the industry that impact business practices.

We are the premier publication covering the mutual fund, ETF and 401(k) marketplaces, and a go-to source for industry decision-makers.

What We Offer:

The reporter will join a team of seasoned journalists in ferreting out scoops and creating must-have content for executives working in the ever-changing asset-management industry.

You will cover high-profile companies, such as Fidelity, Vanguard, State Street, Invesco, Empower Financial and others that have a direct impact on millions of people’s wealth, retirement and college savings plans.

We break major industry stories and provide analysis that has been picked up by major national papers, including The New York Times and Wall St. Journal, among others.

This year, we were named the best daily publication by the Specialized Information Publishers Association. We also received awards for our investigative reporting, analysis and news coverage.

The ideal candidate will relish working a beat, developing a network of sources, deriving narratives from regulatory filings and breaking news. We welcome creative ideas for presenting information to our readers across print, graphic and video platforms.

Applicants should be flexible and comfortable working as part of a team.

The successful candidates will join an established, successful and profitable Financial Times publication with more than 110,000 paying readers.

  • Experience digging through lawsuits and other legal filings
  • Proven ability to develop a network of sources
  • Interest in working across media platforms, such as print, video, visuals
  • Strong critical thinking skills
  • 2-5 years in journalism  ​
  • No prior financial journalism experience is required, but candidates who have a particular interest in the topics described are encouraged to identify that when applying.
  • The job involves speaking and meeting regularly with senior-level industry executives, and covering industry conferences, some of which require travel outside of New York City, but the position is based in the Financial Times’ Manhattan office.
