Senior Journalist - China Biotech
Endpoints News is a media company covering the most critical developments for leaders across the biopharma world. Launched in 2016, Endpoints News has become the way drug development executives stay informed. Reported by a global team of journalists — led by co-founder John Carroll & Executive Editor Drew Armstrong — Endpoints covers news as it happens and delivers an inimitable twice-daily email report to an engaged audience in the business of discovering, researching, marketing, and regulating biotech drugs. In April, 2023, the Financial Times took a controlling stake in Endpoints News. The Financial Times is one of the world’s leading business news organizations, recognised internationally for its authority, integrity and accuracy. The FT has a record paying readership of 1.2 million, more than one million of which are digital subscriptions. It is part of Nikkei Inc., which provides a broad range of information, news and services for the global business community. The Opportunity Endpoints News is seeking a senior journalist who can help build our coverage of China’s booming biopharma industry. This is a role for a journalist who wants to set the agenda on one of biotech’s most important stories, and is interested in playing a crucial role expanding our coverage in the region. In this role, you’ll cover Chinese biotechs including R&D work, public and private financial markets, and key industry power players. You’ll work closely with our team in the US to help readers understand how the US and China compete and cooperate. And you’ll help uncover cool startups, interesting science, and new entrepreneurs. This is the first of several roles in the region that we hope to hire, as part of our growing coverage of China’s role in global biotech and how it serves its own citizens and interacts with the rest of the world. The right candidate has a clearly articulated point of view on the biotech industry, experience reporting in China, is a strong writer or editor, and is ready and able to work with our colleagues in the US and UK as a team player. We plan to eventually hire more staff in the region, and we’re looking for somebody who can lead by example, and eventually help manage a team. You’ll have the opportunity to shape our coverage and our regional footprint, help hire additional resources in the region, and will have a high-impact, high-profile role at Endpoints. Key attributes:
- 7+ years experience in business journalism; including experience covering business and biopharma
- Excellent written and spoken English, plus Mandarin language skills
- Located in or willing to relocate to Hong Kong, able to travel to mainland China
