Want to cover the world's biggest economic story? Here’s an opportunity to be part of Bloomberg’s dynamic and growing team of journalists covering the U.S. economy and the escalating trade war. The Trump administration is opening new fronts in its battles over trade on a regular basis – moves that are disrupting financial markets, rewiring company supply chains and rattling bureaucrats from Beijing to Brussels. Bloomberg has assembled a team of reporters and editors to track all the developments by breaking news and writing in-depth stories that explains what it all means.

We’re looking for an editor to help a very talented group of reporters tell the economic and political stories of Trump’s trade wars. Based in our DC bureau, you will be expected to send headlines and assist in editing stories.
