Role

We are looking for a Staff Writer who will primarily write breaking news stories on press releases, company announcements, and other public documents—with a strong emphasis on speed, accuracy, and clarity. A background in writing about business or financial news is essential.

The ideal candidate will have wire service, newsroom or similar experience, know or be able to efficiently learn our subject matter, have strong news judgment, and possess the ability to quickly create concise stories from complex information. Speed, accuracy and strong news judgment are critical. The candidate must be an excellent communicator, learn and adapt easily, and confidently work across different teams. The Staff Writer also must be capable of working independently to ensure Octus's content is held to its editorial standards. They will also be involved in aggregating third-party content and contributing to databases.

This is an excellent opportunity to be part of a dynamic New York-headquartered global organization, working with experienced financial journalists, analysts, and lawyers. This role can be remote or hybrid, depending on location. We are in the process of establishing an entity in Pakistan and are expanding our editorial and data teams in the country.

Responsibilities

  • Write breaking news stories based on company announcements and third-party content
  • Aggregate third-party content using smart news judgment, adding insights from and contributing to Octus's extensive collection of databases
  • Support a team of experienced journalists, financial analysts, and lawyers
  • Adopt Octus's editorial standards, workflows, and processes in a timely manner
  • Be all-in on the company's AI roadmap by writing earnings and other intel using our proprietary AI tool
  • Provide crossover support between regions when necessary in order to provide 24/7 coverage
  • As needed, help monitor domestic press releases, SEC filings and other sources for key and topical developments. This support will ensure Octus is the first to unearth information on sub investment grade credit markets including high yield, distressed debt, and restructuring situations

Requirements

  • Excellent written and spoken English skills. Additional European languages a plus
  • Top-notch news writing and time management
  • Strong news sense and judgment, with experience or an interest in financial news and markets
  • Curious and proactive approach to learning the role
  • Able to manage and prioritize numerous projects simultaneously while working to tight deadlines
  • Change mindset and willingness to adapt as content objectives evolve
  • Ability to work flexible hours that align with European business hours, with shifts starting between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. PKT and ending between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. PKT, which translates to starting between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. GMT and ending between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. GMT.
  • You will be required to cover shift work during the week, occasionally working earlier mornings (with notice) or additional hours to ensure we break news before our competitors
