Bloomberg seeks rates and credits editor

Bloomberg News is seeking an editor for our First Word Rates and Credits service, based in our New York office.

The individual in this role will be responsible for reporting on new issues in the corporate bond, structured finance or leveraged loans market, tracking deal flow and pricing developments from the announcement through the pricing stage and providing concise, on-the-spot stories on developments in the credit markets, capturing the elements of both “what’s happening” and “what it means,” particularly in the context of macroeconomic and political developments and monetary and fiscal policy.

Candidates must have deep and broad contacts among syndicate desks, investors and traders, with in-depth knowledge of the new issue pricing cycle and the mechanics of secondary trading. Knowledge of Bloomberg’s fixed-income functions and databases is also necessary; familiarity with the Treasury and MBS markets a plus. All candidates must have the ability and market-specific knowledge to immediately discern actionable information from breaking news and have strong writing skills as well as make new contacts and turn them into sources.

Qualifications:
-Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
-Minimum of five years of fixed-income reporting and writing experience and/or five years in a comparable industry role (strategist/analyst/trader)
-Strong work ethic, team player, ability to work calmly in high-pressure environment
