Bloomberg seeks foreign policy reporter

Bloomberg is seeking a U.S. foreign policy reporter for the national security team in the Washington office.

The successful applicant should have previous experience in foreign policy/government reporting and a proven ability to put breaking news developments into a global context. The reporter will be expected to tap into and generate scoops on the broader foreign policy community in Washington — including diplomats, analysts, lobbyists, members of Congress and visiting politicians who help sway policy.

The preferred candidate will have a proven ability to produce breaking news stories under real-time deadline pressure in a team environment as well as take the lead on incisive enterprise and data-based stories that will distinguish Bloomberg’s reporting from other outlets.

Collaboration is critical. The reporter will need to coordinate with journalists across the globe, helping develop stories emerging from Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa as well as breaking news that those regions will carry through the day as they come on line. In an election year, he/she will also help further U.S. political coverage as the top candidates emerge and the transition to a new administration takes place.
