Bloomberg seeks Microsoft reporter

Bloomberg News seeks a dynamic, energetic and intellectually curious reporter in Seattle to cover Microsoft.

The reporter will be responsible for breaking news, crafting features and writing stepback analyses as Microsoft goes through a make-or-break reinvention under new CEO Satya Nadella.

The reporter would be responsible for being ahead on any news as the transition unfolds, as well as profiling executives, new technologies and any shifts in Microsoft’s culture.

The reporter would also write about Microsoft’s place in the broader technology world, where cloud wars are taking place and mobile is largely replacing the PC era.

Adept at breaking news and cultivating sources, the applicant must possess excellent writing skills, a voracious appetite for reporting all angles of a story, and a can-do and drama-free attitude that is both competitive and collaborative.

Qualifications:
-Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
-Knowledge of technology and business
-Minimum of three years of experience in business journalism
-Ability to write quickly and concisely under pressure and to step back to analyze news

To apply, go here.
