Thomson Reuters Hiring for Senior Financial Correspondent, Gulf – Reuters Job at Dubai Full Time

Reuters is looking for an experienced, innovative and dynamic correspondent to lead finance and corporate coverage in the Gulf region where high oil prices have filled the coffers of sovereign wealth funds making forays into overseas markets, where state oil giants have been offering prized assets in a race to unlock capital under an economic diversification push and where Russian funds have been flowing into the United Arab Emirates, playground for the wealthy and the region’s business hub.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE are vying for foreign capital and talent as the Kingdom, the world’s largest oil exporter and the Arab world’s largest economy, moves to build new industries to reduce reliance on crude, including with ambitious projects like the $500 billion megacity NEOM and an airline plan that takes aim at Emirates and Qatar Airways. The region is also pushing into cryptocurrencies and fintech.

The successful candidate will regularly collaborate with correspondents in the wider Middle East, Europe, Asia and North America to break stories of global market significance, spot fresh industry trends and generate regular initiative stories including ambitious enterprise pieces that provide insight into the workings of an often-secretive region.

As our Senior Financial Correspondent – Gulf, you will:

• Lead a team of finance and corporate reporters across the Gulf

• Leverage sources on major finance and corporate stories to break news and lead deeper dives

• Work closely with banking, M&A and industry reporters across the world to break news and report insightful stories

• Generate and pursue ideas that can drive the file forward in original ways including for multimedia clients

• Connect the dots between politics, finance and energy across the Gulf

• Make sensitive and clear-sighted decisions while under pressure – either from sources, companies or governments

Please note, the deadline for applications is Sunday 21st August 2022.
