We are looking for dynamic, hands-on subeditors with exceptional rewriting skills and news judgment to play a key role in driving forward our equities coverage from Bangalore.

Reuters equities file from Bangalore is unique and far from ordinary. We tell stories that move markets in the United States, Britain and Canada; we explain major brokerages' comments that could evaporate millions of dollars off companies' market capitalization or generate huge returns for investors.
Our file is getting hotter by the day as the subprime flu in the United States has spread across an array of debt securities, leading to huge credit losses at the world's leading banks. The unprecedented credit contraction, coupled with rising oil prices, has affected many companies across sectors - adding more fuel to our coverage.
The subeditors should be able to handle different story types that range from spot news to detailed analyses and executive interviews on a variety of sectors.
