Head of Private Credit - Debtwire

Debtwire, an ION Analytics company and the leading provider of news and analysis for the global fixed income markets, is seeking a reporter to cover the European private credit market. Debtwire provides sophisticated investors and advisors with deep-dive coverage of public and private companies, with an emphasis on high-yield bonds, leveraged loans and private credit, from new issuance through stress, distress and restructuring.
The Reporter role is focused on breaking news on companies in need of private credit for M&A, refinancing and organic growth.

The reporter will be part of team of journalists and credit and legal analysts based in London and around our global offices.
