The energy of a newsroom. The pace of a trading floor. We work hard and we work fast, moving markets and chronicling the rise and fall of the people who make them. 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 is looking for an experienced reporter to join its oil team in Singapore, Shanghai or Beijing. This position will involve reporting on Asia Pacific physical crude markets as well as global futures and other derivatives.

You will have experience of analyzing oil markets globally, with in-depth knowledge of inter-regional flows and the dynamics of Asian supply and demand. You must have deep and broad contacts in the trading community and be able to write for that audience.

You are at ease telling your stories on several platforms, whether it's breaking news for a professional audience, a blog post or being interviewed on TV.

We'll trust you to:

  • Cover oil trading in Asia Pacific
  • Track ships and build carefully checked data sets on your findings
  • Collaborate with other reporters and editors around the world
  • Plan ahead for news events
  • Be committed to the best journalist practices, sound judgment and willingness to learn.
