Bloomberg seeks editor in Hong Kong

Bloomberg is seeking an experienced editor for its speed team in Hong Kong.

The Speed Desk produces breaking news stories on business and general-interest topics, ranging from company earnings, stock market reports, merger and acquisition news and politics to natural disasters and strikes. The successful candidate will be able to meet real-time deadlines, read quickly through breaking news releases to find financial details and immediately transform them into real-time headlines for clients. As a senior editor, the candidate will organize coverage, coordinate with other Bloomberg News teams, and take a leading role on the Greater China Speed Team.
