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.

We are seeking an enterprising journalist to cover Equity Capital Markets (ECM) across Asia, home to four of the world's five largest share-sale markets. You are a tenacious, well-sourced reporter who is passionate about breaking news, continually developing contacts and writing important, market-moving stories. You are also a team player who can tell stories on multiple platforms, whether it’s the newswire, the website, Bloomberg’s magazines, TV network or the radio and podcast operation.

You will be responsible for covering day-to-day ECM events, generating scoops on stock offerings, block trades and convertible bonds, helming a daily column about ECM news and trends and writing compelling stories about broad market themes. You will also be expected to collaborate with other teams and bureaus to cover Asia's sprawling equities market.

We'll trust you to:
  • Break news on secondary offerings, block trades, share placements and convertible bonds
  • Track events in the ECM market, from registration to pricing, debut, and beyond
  • Write compelling stories on emerging trends and provide color on deals and valuations
  • Build sources that bring fresh voices and perspectives to our equities coverage
  • Collaborate with a diverse and talented team of reporters to help decipher stock-market activity for investors
  • Write longer enterprise stories examining big picture ECM issues for weekend features, Businessweek and Markets magazine pieces, QuickTake and other Bloomberg platforms

You'll need to have:
  • At least 3 years of recent financial journalism experience
  • An extensive knowledge of equity capital market machinations: how deals get done and who are the key players involved
  • The proven ability to cultivate sources and generate scoops
  • Strong writing ability with a knack for explaining complex ideas in clear, engaging prose
  • Natural collaborative skills
  • Fluency in both spoken and written English
  • The creativity to spot stories where others may not see them
  • A desire to keep learning and build your expertise – the limits and borders of this beat are your imagination
  • Demonstrated continuous career growth within an organisation
