The Guardian
Shape the editorial agenda for European Investment Grade at one of the credit market's fastest-growing intelligence platforms.
This business has established itself as essential reading for bankers, lawyers, investors, and advisors active across global debt markets, with deep workflow adoption at more than 300 blue-chip institutions worldwide. Rapid US expansion and strong subscription retention have given it a clear runway toward category leadership, and European IG sits at the heart of that ambition.
As European Investment Grade Editor, you will take full ownership of the beat: setting coverage strategy, raising editorial standards, developing the reporters on your desk, and continuing to break the market-moving stories that make the platform indispensable to its readership. You will work closely with the US IG Editor and the broader credit team across London and New York.

-

Key requirements
-
Several years of experience reporting on credit markets, with strong familiarity across European IG issuers, syndicate desks, and primary market dynamics
-
A track record of breaking market-moving stories and developing original reporting
-
Sound editing instincts and the confidence to make fast calls on what matters when markets are moving
-
Comfortable in the detail of credit, spreads, new issue premiums, curves, ratings, and covenants, and able to connect that to the broader themes shaping the asset class
