Business Insider UK is hiring a paid digital fellow for its markets team

Business Insider UK is hiring a paid digital fellow who is fascinated by financial news and wants to write about it in an original and compelling way.

We're looking for someone who is following the price of oil and gold, the financial carnage in China, and Britain's housing shortage.

The ideal candidate will be able to identify news reports, earnings releases, analyst calls, and economic data that may be affecting stocks, industries, and the markets as a whole. He or she should be able to present that information in an exciting way with a unique angle.

The dream digital fellow:

• has a journalism background and experience working at a digital publication
• has excellent writing skills, and can work quickly and independently
• knows how to use blogs, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and other social media to attract and engage an audience

As a digital fellow at Business Insider, there is no getting coffee, filing, or making copies. You will be generating many clips each day. The role will involve writing a mix of articles, including short posts that analyse the most interesting news of the day, photo-based stories, and reported features.

APPLY HERE with a cover letter (no more than five sentences) plus links to your work, if this sounds like your dream job.

This position requires that you work in our London office, located near the Old Street and Shoreditch High Street tube stations. Digital fellows are encouraged to work 40 hours a week for a six-month period from the start date.
