We are seeking a reporter to cover China’s e-commerce sector. You will be responsible for writing key developments at the most important companies including but not limited to Alibaba, PDD/Temu and JD.com. You will dig deep into the titans whose fortunes are now much affected by China’s geopolitical struggle with the U.S. and a protracted slowdown in the world’s second largest economy. In the process, you will also tell broader stories of how technology is transforming the country’s society and culture.
You are an agile reporter who’s able to break news and write quickly and crisply on the most pressing tech issues of the day. You have a knack for quickly coming up with original ideas and smart analysis on the biggest tech stories — a cogent rundown of the latest developments in the business of technology. You have an eye for the stories no one else is telling on an intensely covered beat, and versatile enough to write for a variety of platforms, including the Web, Originals video, Bloomberg terminal and Bloomberg Businessweek magazine.
We’ll trust you to:
– Break news and uncover exclusive information on your beat
– Tell feature length stories about the companies and culture of China technology
– Work with other reporters on the technology team and beyond to expand our impact
– Be committed to the best journalistic practices, sound judgment and a willingness to learn
You’ll need to have:
– At least 5 years of recent experience in business journalism
– Exceptional writing skills and sharp news judgment
– An interest in China, technology and how the country is evolving
– Ability to build up a network of sources and contacts in the industry
– Fluency in both spoken and written English
