U.S. Financial Regulation Correspondent (Level 1 Journalist)

Reuters is looking for an experienced U.S. Financial Regulation Correspondent to cover the major financial regulators -primarily the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - as part of our broader Global Finance & Markets team. We're looking for someone with a passion for breaking news and writing quick analytical takes, as well as deeply reported stories.

The role sits within a broader team that covers banking, insurance, corporate finance, white collar crime, fintech and markets. The successful candidate will be able to deliver scoops and insightful enterprising stories on a range of regulation and policy issuers- from the SEC's new climate disclosure rule, to the CFPB's crackdown on bank junk fees and Congress' latest stab at cryptocurrency legislation.
