Bloomberg News is one of the biggest financial and business news organizations in the world. We lead the way in breaking news and providing analysis on financial markets, from intraday coverage through to in-depth features. We are known for our quality, accuracy and ability to deliver news investors can use. It's what keeps us inventing and re-inventing, all the time.

We are looking for a Seoul Bureau Editor to deliver clear copy on breaking news and enterprise stories from Korea across different topics. You're a journalist who makes quick and thoughtful decisions to turn around both long and short pieces under time pressure. You will also be expected to help mentor and guide reporters in the bureau to develop new ways to gain the reader’s imagination.

We'll trust you to:

  • Turn out quick, informative pieces and then follow up with bigger-picture takes
  • Build influential relationships across the newsroom to ensure our coverage captures the context of local developments and resonates globally and across all platforms
  • Work with reporters to develop ideas, while bringing your own perspective to add depth and value
  • Innovate with story formats while promoting diversity of thought and representation throughout our coverage

You'll need to have:

  • At least 5 years of experience in business journalism
  • Editing experience in a real-time newsroom environment, ideally across multiple subject areas.
  • Proficiency in both written and spoken English, understanding of the Korean language would be a plus
  • Attention to detail and a big-picture outlook
  • Demonstrated continuous career growth within an organization
