Bloomberg News is seeking a Team Leader in New York who specializes in data visualization editing and can lead team members in covering news as it unfolds, creating data-driven insights through charting, mapping and other visual forms. We value editors who can identify graphics and visual narratives that help readers understand events as they evolve, collaborate with newsroom colleagues to ensure our team’s contributions to newsroom coverage are coordinated and timely, and inspire data visualization reporters to create clear and informative graphics. 
 
In addition to the New York team, you’ll have opportunities to collaborate with Bloomberg News Data Visualization colleagues in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei, San Francisco and Washington D.C.
 
Relying on your sound news judgment, refined design sensibilities and technical knowledge, you’ll edit data-driven graphics and visual storytelling driven by news coverage. You’ll coordinate with editors on the Data Visualization team and across the newsroom to understand coverage priorities on varied deadlines as news events unfold. You’ll assign stories — and inspire reporters to generate ideas for graphics and visual narratives — that push our coverage forward, and you’ll deliver clear, actionable feedback as you edit. We value editors who lead by example and pitch in to ensure we publish on deadline. Most of all, we’ll expect you to be a supportive manager — as eager to share your own ideas as you are encouraging of others — who finds reward in elevating and refining the work of the team.
 
Prior editing or management experience is preferred, but not required. Candidates eager to transition to an editing and management role who can show an extensive background creating news-driven data visualizations and leading collaborative projects are encouraged to apply. 

WE’LL TRUST YOU TO:

•  Guide reporters to create compelling maps, charts, explanatory diagrams and other graphics in response to news events, both planned and unplanned
•  Help reporters follow news as it develops, identifying potential data and visual opportunities for stories that push our coverage forward 
•  Assign, shape and edit graphics and narrative data visualizations to publication
•  Deliver feedback on how to communicate effectively through graphics
•  Work efficiently under tight deadlines
•  Coordinate with newsroom leaders in the region to understand coverage priorities
•  Possess interest in topics core to Bloomberg News coverage — including finance, markets, economics and government policy, among others — and an eagerness to develop subject-matter expertise in these areas
•  Support graphics reporters on the team, both by listening to their ideas and helping them achieve their development goals

YOU’LL NEED:

•  Professional experience in a role that produces graphics and data visualizations for publication on tight deadlines
•  Experience conceptualizing and structuring visual narratives and writing copy
•  Strong communication, project management and other leadership experiences that allow you to effectively edit and manage peers with compassion
•  Strong sense of visual design with solid understanding of layout, typography and user experience and familiarity with design software such as Adobe Creative Cloud
•  Experience evaluating data sources and assessing data reporting
•  Experience in front-end web development using modern HTML, CSS and JavaScript and rendering graphics in the browser

 
You’ll have the support of other editors and journalists across our highly-collaborative global graphics team, but your ability to jump into projects and apply these skills will help the team take ownership of critical stories. 
 
If you think you'd be a good fit to join us, submit an application and include a resume, a brief letter telling us about yourself and a portfolio that demonstrates an understanding of data journalism, design and visual storytelling. Include a link to your Github account if you have one.
