Bloomberg

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.

We are seeking a well-sourced, expert and collaborative reporter to drive coverage of the intersection of Money and Power in Doha. Over the years, Qatar has leaned on its vast LNG reserves to transform itself into one of the world's richest nations; it's also emerged as a key regional mediator.

Doha is home to the Qatar Investment Authority, a $510 billion entity at an inflection point. With a new CEO at the helm and domestic spending needs winding down post the World Cup, a key question for the fund will be if it goes back to doing large international deals. Already, the QIA is among the biggest backer of wealth managers globally.

In this newly-created role, you'll help chronicle Qatar's attempts to solidify its position as a globally-significant financial centre. We'll expect you to break news primarily on finance and deals, with an opportunity to collaborate with colleagues across our energy and government teams.

We'll trust you to:

• Work with reporters, including our senior wealth funds correspondent, to drive coverage of key state-backed entities and the personalities that matter
• Collaborate with colleagues across deals, energy and government to break news and deliver a global perspective to our audience
• Come with outstanding writing skills; Generate smart enterprise pieces, and make sure the team owns the biggest stories
• Boost the profile of the team internally and externally as well as expand our contributions to TV, radio, podcasts, magazines, newsletters, the website and social media

You'll need to have:

• At least five years of experience as a reporter covering business news
• Strong writing skills, with a particular focus on accuracy, precision and speed
• Knowledge of regional wealth funds, politics, deals and financial markets
• A track record in breaking news and developing sourcing

We'd love to see:

• Innovation and creative thinking about ways to make our content accessible to a diverse audience of business-savvy readers
