About the Role

Singapore's premier business daily, The Business Times, is looking for an experienced, driven and digital-minded candidate to be a part of our Banking & Finance team. Based in Singapore, you will report on the goings-on of major financial institutions in key markets of Southeast Asia, with a strong focus on Singapore.

The banking sector affects a wide spectrum of the economy, from businesses requiring capital and payment options, to individuals making personal financial decisions. As one of the primary banking & finance reporters in BT, you will need to be familiar with different aspects of banking, as well as major government policies that will have an impact on the sector. You will track the money flows, trends and factors that are changing the sector, highlighting their significance and relevance to vital segments of the economy. The application of genAI and sustainability financing will be an important theme to keep an eye on in your coverage.

You will need to write with clarity and authority, and broaden the paper's banking coverage. You should be well-sourced and enterprising to explain how developments or data in the sector can influence or tell a story about the big picture.

The applicant should be quick at spotting trends and have a nose for scoops. You should be driven by curiosity, and embrace a growth mindset.
