Reporter - This Week in Fintech

We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Washington D.C., London and Amsterdam.

This Week in Fintech is the largest global fintech media company with 200,000+ subscribers to a publication that provides insights, news and connections within the financial technology ecosystem. What began as a newsletter focused on curating and sharing industry updates, trends and innovations in the fintech space has grown to include a range of products including podcasts, events, conferences and an online community to bring together fintech professionals, investors, and enthusiasts worldwide.

Building on top of our deeply established and highly respected newsletter ecosystem, we are actively expanding into a full-scale, elite newsroom operation. We are investing heavily in original journalism, breaking news and deep enterprise reporting. This is a rare opportunity to join a growing team at the ground floor and directly shape the voice and direction of a major business publication.

We are looking for an enterprising, sharp and relentless full-time reporter to help us build the front page of Fintech. Whether you are an experienced business journalist or a standout newsroom intern ready to make your mark, we care about your financial literacy, news instincts and drive more than the number of years on your resume.

You won’t be stuck rewriting corporate PR or chasing incremental aggregates from a desk all day. You will have the autonomy to own a beat, develop deep sources and break the stories that executives, founders and investors read every morning. We want a reporter who is not afraid to pick up the phone, knock on doors and go out into the field to meet sources face-to-face to find the real story.
