Bloomberg seeks corporate finance reporter in New York

The energy of a newsroom. The pace of a trading floor. We work hard and we work fast, moving markets and chronicling the rise and fall of the people who make them. 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.

You’d be part of a team that covers the world’s biggest credit markets. From the $8.7 trillion mortgage-bond market to the $1.3 trillion asset-backed securities market and the ratings businesses, your coverage will span everything from commercial mortgages and student loans to subprime auto-bonds.

You get excited about breaking news and beating the competition on new deals, products, strategies and personalities. You love generating unique and compelling ideas for stories that will have serious impact. You are just as comfortable taking the lead as working with teammates. You will be a great addition to our New York office that serves as the headquarters to one of the smartest and boldest media organizations in the world.

We’ll trust you to:

  • Break news on mortgage-bond and asset-backed securities markets
  • Lean on existing sources and develop new ones to generate intelligent, impactful, market-moving news
  • Talk about your stories on Bloomberg TV and Bloomberg Radio
  • Cover breaking news with uncanny speed and accuracy
  • Analyze industry data
  • Write insightful, thought-provoking stories that add value
  • Collaborate with colleagues across teams and countries

You’ll need to have:

  • A minimum of five years in journalism, preferably with a focus on credit markets or corporate finance
  • Experience with real-time news
  • Ability to write quickly and clearly under deadline pressure
  • Ability to generate exclusive, breaking news as well as informative feature stories
