Bloomberg offers a unique opportunity to produce real-time stories that shape the markets and our world.

Applicants should have the ability to produce breaking news stories under real-time deadline pressure in a team environment, even as they regularly develop sophisticated, exclusive enterprise pieces. A minimum of three to five years of business journalism experience is preferred.
