Bloomberg Green seeks an editor

Bloomberg is looking for an experienced editor to join the leadership team behind Bloomberg Green, the newsroom’s award-winning climate publication. This editor will have a strong hand in shaping the full range of our climate journalism, assigning stories on everything from greenhouse gas emissions and government policy to the vivid impacts of rising temperatures.

The role will also have a particular focus on how sustainability strategies and climate solutions play out in the consumer economy.

The successful candidate will edit explainers on sustainability strategies, exposes on corporate greenwashing, breaking news on the busy climate beat and big-picture enterprise stories.

You Will Have:

– Solid knowledge of climate change and corporate sustainability

– A proven track record of collaborating with reporters and editors to break news and deliver enterprise on deadline

– A sense of urgency combined with a track record of working across teams to produce creative work of the highest caliber

– An ability to think creatively about story presentation, formats and work with different platforms on audience engagement
