Bloomberg is seeking a smart, news-savvy Social Curator to manage content and boost audience engagement across Twitter. An ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced news environment is a must.

We’ll trust you to:

  • Manage Bloomberg’s Twitter news network feed.
  • Curate content across Twitter that will move a story forward.
  • Manage incoming UGC (text, photos and video) to verify what is credible and valuable to a story.
  • Work with the video producers to help publish live videos and make sure the appropriate content is being promoted.
  • Engage with our audience to drive loyalty and growth.
  • Establish a trustworthy, informative and consistent voice on the platform.

You need to have:

  • Proven experience as a social media editor, preferably in a digital news environment. Experience covering breaking news is a plus.
  • A love for news and a wide knowledge of topics in business, markets, politics, and technology.
  • Strong editorial judgment.
