Bloomberg News is seeking a leveraged loan reporter to join its energic credit team in London. 
 
You'd be covering leveraged finance in EMEA at a fascinating time, as businesses attempt to navigate the post-pandemic world and adapt to higher funding costs. You'd be tapping sources in the leveraged loan market to break news on multi-billion euro financing deals, and then using your story-telling skills and market knowledge to analyze and explain the financing to both the specialist client and the intelligent layperson. It also includes chasing deals across other leveraged finance markets, such as private credit and collateralized loan obligations, and keeping our database of financings in EMEA robust.

We'll trust you to:

•  Develop sources to generate intelligent, high-impact, breaking news
•  Become proficient in analyzing deals and funding markets
•  Break news on the debt financing of leveraged deals in EMEA
•  Cover the beat with enthusiasm, speed and accuracy
•  Talk about your stories on Bloomberg TV, Bloomberg Radio and Bloomberg Quicktake
•  To write insightful, thought-provoking stories that add value
•  Collaborate with colleagues across our more than 120 bureaus globally

You'll need to have:

•  A minimum of five years in business journalism, preferably with a focus on credit markets and leveraged finance
•  Deep knowledge of leveraged loans and structured credit
•  Ability to write quickly and clearly under deadline pressure
