The successful candidate will cover one of Asia’s most important financial sectors at a time of significant change. Asset managers are navigating shifting regulatory reform, private market growth and technological disruption.

Alongside reporting, the Deputy Editor will edit stories, help maintain editorial standards and publish the daily newsletter in the Managing Editor’s absence. The role requires strong news judgement, excellent writing skills and the ability to work confidently to daily deadlines.
