The posting

The Role:

As a freelance infrastructure finance reporter based in Sydney, you will produce high-quality, exclusive journalism on infrastructure investment activity across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.

The role will focus on producing on-and-off record market intelligence focused on greenfield project finance, new project developments, public-private partnerships (PPP’s), infrastructure fund strategies, as well as break news on M&A and debt transactions — always ahead of public announcements. You will deliver both real-time reporting and deeper analysis for institutional investors, lenders, developers, and advisory firms.

Core sector coverage includes:

  • Power generation (thermal, renewables, storage) and transmission
  • Energy transition and decarbonisation projects
  • Transport infrastructure (roads, rail, airports, ports)
  • Logistics and supply chain assets
  • Digital infrastructure (data centres, fibre, telecom towers)
  • Water and social infrastructure

Key Responsibilities

  • Produce a consistent pipeline of exclusive articles and analysis on infrastructure finance transactions and investment trends in Australia and APAC
  • Break news on project finance deals, M&A processes, debt/equity fundraising, and secondary market activity
  • Build and maintain a strong regional network of sources including:
  • Project developers and sponsors
  • Infrastructure and pension funds
  • Banks and private credit investors
  • Government stakeholders and policymakers
  • Legal and financial advisors
  • Interview senior decision-makers, including C-suite executives, fund managers and originators
  • Attend key industry conferences, investor days and market events across Australia and Asia-Pacific
  • Deliver timely, accurate reporting under deadline pressure
  • Provide forward-looking insight on policy shifts, regulatory developments and market dynamics
  • Collaborate with editors, analysts and other contributors where relevant

Other Features

  • Flexible freelance role with autonomy over content generation and workflow
  • Strong exposure to one of the world’s most active infrastructure investment markets (Australia)
  • Opportunity to build a high-value niche in energy transition, PPPs, and institutional capital flows
  • Ability to shape editorial focus based on sector expertise and contacts

Required Skills, Experience and Qualifications:

  • Proven experience in financial journalism, ideally covering infrastructure finance, energy or project finance markets
  • Strong track record of breaking exclusive stories and developing proprietary angles
  • Established network of sources across Australian and/or APAC infrastructure markets
  • Solid understanding of:
  • Project finance and PPP structures
  • Debt and equity capital markets
  • Australian infrastructure policy and regulatory environment
  • Excellent written and spoken English
  • Highly self-motivated, proactive and persistent in sourcing stories
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
  • Willingness to travel across Australia and APAC for key industry events

Remuneration

  • This is a freelance position, with compensation structured on a per published article basis, with rates agreed in advance depending on the nature, exclusivity and complexity of the content
  • Pre-approved expenses incurred in the course of reporting — including travel to conferences, industry events, and interviews — will be reimbursed in line with agreed guidelines
  • Additional opportunities may be available for longer-form features, special reports, or commissioned analysis, subject to editorial requirements
  • Success candidates will be expected to sign a Confidential Non-Compete Agreement prior to commencement of work

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
