The Company

Few organizations can keep up with the fast-paced, 24/7 nature of today's media
coverage; even fewer can claim to have helped shape it. Bloomberg has long been a leading source of data and news and presents one of the most challenging environments in financial journalism. Bloomberg offers a unique opportunity to produce real-time stories that shape the markets and our world.

The Role

Bloomberg News is seeking Speed Desk Reporters in our Brasilia office to join our expanding team in Brazil. The Speed Desk Reporters will cover politics and economics, breaking news about the economy (with a focus on the finance ministry and the central bank), and regulatory agencies and the impacts of their new decisions on companies. The individuals in this role will need to propose and write agenda-setting stories that explain and illustrate the Brazilian economic and political situation to a global audience. In addition, these individuals must have an understanding of economic and political issues and their relevance to corporate developments and markets, as well as an understanding of regulation for different industries and their impact on companies. Responsibilities of the role include attending press briefings and evening events, monitoring other media, and writing news summaries.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
• Minimum of three years of business journalism experience
• Fluency in Portuguese and English
