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 daily coverage through 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.

China is one of the most important stories to cover in journalism. From the country's rivalry with the US in advanced technology, to President Xi Jinping's efforts to rejuvenate the economy amid a real estate slump, rising debt, and an aging population, what happens in China matters more than ever to global readers. Bloomberg News is looking for a reporter to join our team covering the world's second-biggest economy. You'll play a key role in keeping our readers informed about China's economic data and political developments, uncovering the big underlying trends before our competitors, and working with reporters to break market-moving news. Based in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai or Singapore, we're seeking a versatile journalist who can write clear and accurate copy, find opportunities for smart analysis on breaking news, and produce memorable enterprise with demonstrable impact. The ideal candidate possesses a strong news instinct, flair for data crunching and collaborates effectively.

The role involves collaborating closely with markets, companies, commodities, technology and research teams to tell the China story from all angles. It also entails using the power of the information on the Bloomberg terminal and working across platforms including blogs, web, TV, graphics and print. Working with bureaus across the region to steer and elevate their economic and political news coverage will be another component of this varied and exciting position.

We'll trust you to:
  • Break news, find opportunities for fast analysis and execute on ambitious enterprise
  • Generate original and innovative ideas for stories that are relevant to discerning readers in Asia and around the world
  • Work collaboratively across teams, geographies and individual departments within Bloomberg News
  • Find ways to ensure our coverage stays ahead of the competition

You'll need to have:
  • At least 5 years of experience in journalism, preferably covering economics, financial markets or business news
  • Experience working at a real-time news service
  • An ability to write clearly, quickly and accurately in English, often under time pressure
  • Experience with story-telling across a range of platforms, including print, digital, podcast & graphics
  • Proficiency in both spoken and written English
  • Collaborative attitude and effective communication skills
  • Demonstrated continuous career growth within an organization

We'd also like to see:
  • A track record covering macroeconomics, politics and/or China for a major publication
  • Knowledge of Mandarin
