From fintech and the challenges faced by global banks in Asia to the surge in outbound acquisition activity by Chinese firms and the reactions that is prompting, Asia is ripe with important stories watched closely by Reuters' core financial industry clients.

  • Collaborate closely with counterparts in the Americas and EMEA to produce successful cross-border stories.

  • The role may involve a heavy amount of reporting, as well as building and running a team of consummate news breakers and market movers.
