    + Curate the various regional Bloomberg.com homepages on a daily basis, in line with Web readers' interests

    + Send alerts on breaking news, including writing copy and identifying the right audience

    + Provide guidance and feedback to other teams on optimizing coverage for an online audience

    + Identify the best content for increasing digital subscriptions

    + Advocate for readers' time and interests
