The last five years have seen catastrophe across the financial world – and from fraud and mis-selling to corruption and rogue trading, the most dramatic events have been those that come under the heading of operational risk. The industry now faces unprecedented change, and overhauling the way it handles these risks – and dealing with the new laws and regulations put in place after the crisis – will be the biggest challenge in its history. Operational Risk & Regulation is at the heart of this upheaval, producing unequalled news reporting and analysis on all these issues.

We are now looking for a reporter to join the team in London. The successful candidate will be expected to develop senior contacts in the risk and regulatory community and dig up exclusive news stories for both online and print, as well as writing in-depth features. The job involves international travel – our journalists interview top-level bankers and regulators all over the world. We also want to give our staff writers the opportunity to take responsibility for special reports and supplements, and to get experience with new forms of rich media, in particular video and online discussions.

Based in the heart of London’s West End, Incisive Media, Operational Risk & Regulation’s parent company, runs a comprehensive training programme for its employees – from learning new roles like on-camera interviewing and on-location filming, to improving core skills like research, interviewing, and news and feature writing. We offer an excellent flexible benefits package including pension, deals on gym membership, medical and dental insurance, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans and many more. Our reporters have real prospects of promotion to senior journalist or editor positions, and we support and encourage flexible working.
