Bloomberg is looking for a reporter to join its team in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This is a chance to cover one of the world's largest economies sitting at the heart of global geopolitics, international investment, commodities and the energy transition. It’s also a country going through an unprecedented transformation.

We'll trust you to:

• Break news and write enterprise stories that help our readers understand the complexities of Saudi Arabia, its economy, businesses, energy and relations with regional and international powers
• Collaborate enthusiastically with colleagues across teams and regions to cover key events, chase scoops and write memorable stories
• Be willing to work with a range of Bloomberg platforms, including the website, TV, Quicktake, Green, CityLab and Businessweek

You'll need to have:

• A bachelor's degree
• Excellent source development and interviewing skills
