Bloomberg is one of the biggest and most influential news organizations in the world. Our award winning Latin America economy/government team prides itself on finding and writing the most relevant and surprising stories that help readers better understand one of the globe’s most volatile regions.

  • Cover South America’s second-largest economy as it emerges from 15 years of global financial and diplomatic isolation.
  • Collaborate with other reporters and editors in multiple locations over the course of reporting and writing your stories all the way to publication.
  • Coordinate news-gathering process to bring together experts and policy makers with the aim of breaking news on Argentina’s presidency and cabinet, central bank, economy and treasury ministries, as well as government finances.
  • Plan ahead for news events and contribute to an editorial calendar shared throughout the news organization.
  • Be committed to the best journalist practices, sound judgment and willingness to learn. Original perspective and sense of humor are also welcome.

You’ll need to have:

  • Minimum of three years experience reporting preferably on business news.- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent.
  • Fluency in written/spoken English, Spanish.
  • Ability to write quickly and concisely on deadline.
  • An interest in the economy, finance and ever changing political landscape of Argentina and Latin America.
