Bloomberg

With close to 50 economists and 200 economics and government reporters worldwide, Bloomberg has an outstanding capacity to explain where the world is economically and politically, where it might be heading, and the ways in which economic and geopolitical forces interact.

Bloomberg Economics offers a comprehensive macroeconomic research service for Terminal subscribers. That includes forecasts, supported by thorough and thematic research. The economists also produce previews of major data releases and economic events as well as analysis of the numbers as they break. The goal is to offer Bloomberg clients a deeper insight into the themes that drive policy, financial markets and capital flows.
 
The role:

• We are seeking an experienced economist specializing in the economies of Switzerland and France to join our research team.
• You'll produce insightful research, economic forecasts and analysis of data releases and central bank meetings (including lead responsibility for the Swiss National Bank).
• The successful candidate will collaborate on projects with the broader Bloomberg Economics group – contributing quotes to news stories and from time to time working on joint projects with economics reporters. 
• You can expect to appear at conferences, on television, in print media as well as meeting with clients. 
• You'll work with Bloomberg’s Chief European Economist and other members of the team on research projects.
  You'll need to have:
• 5+ years of relevant experience in economic analysis, with proven expertise in analyzing economic data, monetary and fiscal policies and long-term structural challenges. 
• English fluency, knowledge of French is highly valued, German a plus. 
• A degree in economics, or equivalent experience (a Masters or PhD, also a plus).
• The energy and the initiative to provide a consistent flow of original, high-quality analysis and to operate in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  We'd love to see:
• Experience producing compelling research across a variety of formats, ranging from rapid responses to economic events to longer-term collaborative research into major global economic trends. 
• Experience working in economic policy or financial markets.
• A solid understanding of econometrics and experience applying quantitative methods to answer questions relevant to investors.
