The Company

Bloomberg offers a unique opportunity to produce real-time stories that shape the markets and our world.

The candidate will need to be fast and accurate in taking data and turning it into table-based stories for our clients, working closely with other reporters and editors to help with our news coverage.
There is also an analytical aspect to the role where a candidate will be expected to contribute ideas for charts and stories and "connect the dots" on various points of data.
The ideal candidate will have an education in economics or finance, Excel proficiency including VBA, a self starter and the ability to work under deadline pressure.
