Job Description

Bloomberg News is one of the biggest financial and business news organizations in the world, and leads the way in breaking news and providing analysis on financial markets, from daily coverage through to in-depth features. We are known for our quality, accuracy and ability to deliver news investors can use. It\'s what keeps us inventing and re-inventing, all the time.

We are looking for a resourceful and versatile journalist to join the Asian energy and commodities editing team. This is an opportunity to work on a diverse range of stories across oil, energy, metals & mining and agriculture, covering everything from markets to companies, government policy and climate.

At the heart of the role is an ability to produce clear and compelling stories that dispense with jargon and explain often complex issues to a non-specialist audience. On any given day, you may jump from a concise, authoritative report detailing moves in the price of gold to a fast-breaking M&A story -- or spend time crafting a longer-form piece on an aspect of the energy transition.

The right candidate will have a track record of achievement as an editor or reporter in business journalism. You\'ll also be someone who wants to experiment with storytelling formats - from graphics-led features, to video, audio and web-friendly explainers.

We are looking for a team player who is comfortable working with colleagues from multiple bureaus, connecting stories from all corners of the newsroom. You will need to use your experience and ideas to mentor reporters and shape some of our most important stories.

We\'ll trust you to:

• Produce crisp and concise edits that resonate with a wide audience -- from our most sophisticated terminal users to our more casual online readers
• Be innovative and think creatively about ways to make our content accessible to a diverse audience of business-savvy readers from short blasts to complex, ambitious enterprise
• Make fast and critical judgement calls to identify the most important stories as well as gaps in coverage
• Collaborate with colleagues across teams, bureaus and continents to break news and give a global perspective to our audience
• Innovate with story formats while promoting diversity of thought and representation throughout our coverage and across our platforms

You\'ll need to have:

• At least 5 recent years of experience in business journalism as a reporter or editor
• Experience working in a real-time news environment
• Experience collaborating and working with others to accomplish goals
• Outstanding writing skills and the ability to craft concise, clean prose under deadline
• Interest in energy, commodities and climate coverage
• Proficiency in both spoken and written English
• Demonstrated continuous career growth within an organization
• Bachelor\'s degree or degree-equivalent qualifications

Life at Bloomberg is many things, but it\'s never dull. We\'re a truly global business with a truly diverse workforce. We pride ourselves on being open, inclusive and collaborative, and provide a work environment that inspires our employees to be their best. We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive healthcare coverage, and programs to support you and your family through different life stages, from parental leave to generous retirement savings plans.
