Bloomberg News is one of the biggest financial and business news organizations in the world. We lead the way in breaking news and providing analysis on financial markets, from intraday 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 dynamic and driven journalist to join its Breaking News team in New Delhi. As a Breaking News Editor, you’ll be working at the sharp end of the Bloomberg newsroom, scanning a steady flow of information and deciding swiftly on market-moving events to provide actionable news to our clients. The Breaking News team’s mission is to deliver flash headlines and stories as quickly as possible on anything that could move the price of global assets, be it currencies, stocks, bonds or commodities.
As an editor on a team that monitors breaking news from South Asia, you’ll be the first pair of eyes on any market-moving story out of the six countries in the subcontinent. Whether it’s Donald Trump’s musings on tariffs, border conflicts, a central bank unexpectedly raising or cutting interest rates, a multi-billion dollar M&A or IPO, a high-impact court decision, or corporate earnings from the sprawling empires of billionaires — you will ensure that we’re first to deliver accurate, timely headlines and stories that help the world’s biggest investors to decide where to move their money next.
We thrive in a high-pressure environment, aren’t afraid to make split-second decisions, and love surprises. We work well with both people and technology. We understand what serious market participants are looking for amid the daily deluge of information, and we’re adept at separating the wheat from the chaff on social media. If this sounds like you, we want you to join our Breaking News team in South Asia. The role also requires you to balance collaboration with colleagues in bureaus across the globe with confident and decisive calls when unexpected news breaks.
