Description & Requirements

Bloomberg News is one of the biggest financial and business news organizations in the world. We lead the way in breaking news and providing analysis on financial markets, from intraday coverage to in-depth features. We are known for our quality, accuracy and ability to deliver news investors can use. It's what keeps us inventing and re-inventing, all the time.

Join a team that tracks the most financially challenged companies in the Americas - from those weighed down by distressed debt to others on the brink of bankruptcy. This beat often features some of the biggest household names, and the list is likely to grow as businesses wrestle with today’s higher borrowing costs. The role demands cultivating strong sources to break news, and then using sharp storytelling skills to analyze and explain how companies ended up in trouble.

Our team is driven by breaking news and producing agenda-setting stories, and we’re looking for reporters who can take charge of a story as confidently as they can collaborate with colleagues.

We'll trust you to:

+ Break news on the biggest distressed companies in North America

+ Lean on existing sources and develop new ones to generate intelligent, high-impact, market-moving scoops

+ Analyze industry data

+ Cover the beat with speed and accuracy

+ Write insightful, thought-provoking features that add value

+ Collaborate with colleagues across our more than 120 bureaus globally

You'll need to have:

+ A minimum of three years in journalism with a focus on credit markets or corporate finance, or five years in business journalism with a proven track record for breaking news on beat coverage of a company or industry

+ Experience with real-time news

+ Ability to write quickly and clearly under deadline pressure

+ Ability to generate exclusive, breaking news as well as informative feature stories

+ A bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
