Bloomberg News seeks company news editor in Hong Kong

Bloomberg News is seeking an editor in its Hong Kong bureau to edit company news from the Asia region.

He or she should have the ability to quickly make informed decisions on breaking news and be able to guide reporters on what angles to pursue. He or she must be comfortable about mentoring reporters of different abilities and work calmly in a high pressure environment. The ability to cooperate with colleagues across Asia and elsewhere is a requirement.

Qualifications
