  •  Be aware of the major news stories and trends that matter to financial and business clients
  •  Provide on-the-spot decisions on topics including M&A, IPOs, corporate earnings, government news and other global events
  •  Collaborate with global bureaus and teams across Bloomberg to deliver this-just-in news across all platforms

You need to have:
