About the Role:

As an Investigative Reporter focused on white-collar crime, you will be at the forefront of journalistic integrity, digging into the most compelling fraud cases involving major corporations and their executives.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead Investigations on Fraud Cases: Examine high-profile fraud lawsuits targeting corporations, their executives, and business practices. Conduct thorough investigative research to uncover the truth behind the allegations.

• Engage with Key Stakeholders: Reach out to defendants—CEOs, top executives, and legal representatives—in order to gather additional context, validate claims, and understand the corporate perspective. Your interactions will be essential to creating a comprehensive and fair report.

• Analyze Courtroom & Legal Documents: Review court testimonies, filings, legal documents, and public records to construct a detailed and objective understanding of the case.

• Verify and Cross-Reference: Conduct in-depth fact-checking, engaging with a wide range of sources, including legal professionals, financial analysts, and industry experts, to verify the accuracy of information presented in the courtroom.

• Write and Publish Investigative Reports: Write clear, well-organized, and unbiased reports based on your findings. Publish your work to inform the public, ensuring your reports are engaging, authoritative, and contribute to the ongoing conversation about corporate accountability.

• Collaborate with Legal and Financial Experts: Develop relationships with experts in corporate law, finance, and white-collar crime, providing deeper insights and bolstering the credibility of your investigations.

• Stay Ahead of Industry Trends: Monitor ongoing legal cases, trends in corporate fraud, and shifts in legal frameworks to ensure your reporting stays relevant and forward-thinking.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience: A minimum of 3-5 years of investigative reporting experience with a strong portfolio in corporate, legal, or financial reporting. Previous experience in covering fraud cases, high-profile legal battles, or complex financial topics is essential.

• Analytical Mindset: Exceptional critical thinking skills and the ability to analyze complex legal documents, corporate financial statements, and other detailed sources of information.

• Strong Written & Verbal Communication: A master of clear, concise writing and an ability to articulate complex subjects in a manner that is accessible to a wide audience. Strong interview skills are a must, as you’ll engage with high-level corporate figures and experts.

• Understanding of Legal and Financial Systems: Familiarity with legal processes, court cases, fraud regulations, and financial documentation. Understanding of how to interpret and analyze financial data and legalese to extract meaningful insights.

• Attention to Detail: Impeccable fact-checking and data verification skills. Your work will need to reflect the highest standards of accuracy and fairness.

• Passion for Investigative Journalism: A deep commitment to truth-telling, corporate transparency, and the pursuit of justice through detailed, in-depth reporting.

Why You Should Apply:

• Intellectual Challenge: Work on the cutting edge of corporate investigative reporting, tackling high-stakes cases that shape both the legal landscape and public discourse on corporate responsibility.

• Impactful Reporting: Your findings will influence public opinion, business practices, and legal outcomes—giving you a direct hand in holding major corporations accountable for their actions.
