With close to 50 economists and 200 economics and government reporters worldwide, Bloomberg has an outstanding capacity to explain where the global economy and geo-politics are now, where they might be heading, and the ways in which the forces interact.
Bloomberg Economics already offers a comprehensive macroeconomic research service for Terminal subscribers. That includes detailed forecasts, supported by thorough and original thematic research.
As a next step, we are adding geoeconomics research, aiming for global coverage of key regions and issues from the Taiwan Strait to the Middle East and Latin America. The goal is to offer Bloomberg clients a deeper insight into the themes that drive economics, markets, and policy.

- Edit for the front page - our biggest geo-economics projects aim at a global audience
- Ensure our geoeconomic analysis is tightly written, compelling, well-structured, and delivered quickly and accurately -- often under tight deadlines.
- Complement the technical expertise of our economists by exercising news judgement on when to write, and how to write and frame research.
- Collaborate with teams across news and research to ensure our work reaches the widest possible audience. This includes editing material for different platforms and coordinating with regional news desks and editors.
YOU'LL NEED TO HAVE:
- 10+ years of professional experience in financial or political journalism.
- Experience working in a real-time news environment.
- Demonstrated skill at crafting narratives for a front-page audience as well as delivering tightly structured, quick turnaround pieces with a focus on accuracy, readability and added value.

- Strong communication and teamwork skills.
- Energy and initiative to work partner with analysts on delivery of research in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
