Posted Mar 5, 2019 - Requisition No. 73955

The Bloomberg Ottawa bureau is seeking a reporter to drive our coverage of the Canadian economy and economic policy.

The successful candidate should have a strong understanding of economies and how they are driven by central banks, governments, investors and industry. They will need to write fast, accurate and contextual coverage of economic data and the Bank of Canada.

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
  • Proven experience in journalism
  • Ability to file headlines in a fast-paced, breaking news environment and make sound news decisions quickly
  • Ability to generate original story ideas and see them through
