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.

Bloomberg News invests in its journalism and its journalists. We have a culture in which you will be supported and challenged to innovate, to learn new skills and to deliver news in a manner best suited to the modern reader's interests. You will grow as a writer, as a data-driven journalist, and over time you will be exposed to a rich selection of opportunities only available at the world's most credible financial news organization.

Our breaking news team is seeking a candidate interested in company news -- trends, growth, profit & loss, forward guidance, and market impact -- and who is passionate about working with technology and data to cover corporate earnings accurately and quickly, while presenting the numbers in the right context at the same time.

In this role, you will be at the center of the intersection of data and journalism. You will work with the entire newsroom to help journalists use the data and tools at their fingertips. This is one of the most innovative and dynamic areas of our field, where automation, data and news judgment come together to produce unbelievable results in the blink of an eye. You'll also be connecting the dots of wider earnings trends in Asia and writing stories that capture those trends.

We will trust you to:

  • Scan through stock exchange filings for earnings statements and other market-moving updates from companies that matter, while keeping track of schedules, conference calls and analysts’ estimates
  • Use Bloomberg's technology, aided by artificial intelligence and automation, to write previews of upcoming earnings, and then publish earnings stories in real-time.
  • Communicate with colleagues across the newsroom and other departments to help us improve the quality and depth of our earnings product.
  • Be an ambassador for the latest and the best, new processes that saves time, or the new dataset that adds context.
  • Stitch together broader themes from the earnings of individual companies and write those stories
  • Deliver accurate and sharp stories under tight deadlines

You'll need to have:

  • At least 3 years of recent experience in financial journalism that includes directly working with earnings reports, or 3 years of equivalent experience that includes published analysis of company earnings reports.
  • Experience working at or supporting a real-time news service
  • Experience analyzing company financial statements
  • A demonstrated ability to quickly pick the right data from complex profit & loss statements and balance sheets
  • Experience in working with automated content and semi-automation tools
  • Demonstrated continuous career growth within an organization
  • Ability to effectively convey technical details to a broad audience in conversational English, both in speaking and writing
  • Being a self-starter with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to proactively communicate and collaborate with different stakeholders

We would love to see:

  • Willingness to digest feedback, learn and improve on the job
  • Market fluency in one or more additional languages to support global clients
