Bloomberg news is seeking a data journalist to combine data analysis with traditional reporting to unearth previously undiscovered stories in finance.

WE’LL TRUST YOU TO:
- Identify financial stories where data analysis can drive reporting
- Handle tricky data, including data that is large and unstructured
- Turn your findings into headlines and sharp nut grafs
YOU’LL NEED:
- An interest in finance and investing
- A portfolio of data work demonstrating editorial judgment, rigor and ambition
- Experience extracting insight from data
- Expertise in R or Python
- Experience with Github
