Bloomberg News is looking for a dynamic, gutsy and ambitious journalist to join our investigations team. This position will work closely with top class reporters and editors to produce explosive stories and series with a focus on international companies and businesspeople.

• Conceive and execute highly impactful investigative stories and projects.
• Do everything in your power to prove key facts, going far beyond “he said, she said.”
• Coax reluctant sources to talk and share documents.
• Gather voluminous records, then spend hours forensically combing them.
• Develop strong working relationships with other dazzling reporters all over the newsroom.
• Dive into other reporters’ projects (when asked) and help them break through walls.
• Write seamless narratives as well as findings‑filled bombshells.
• Propose investigative stories that link to the most important news and issues of the day.

You’ll Need To Have:

• Real experience in investigative journalism, with story clips demonstrating a high level of ambition and ownership
• Proven track record of executing complex, multi‑part investigative projects
• Ability to write clearly about complicated topics
• A commitment to the highest standards of journalism ethics
• Ability to leverage Bloomberg’s exclusive array of financial and economic data to produce stories others cannot
• Ability to bulletproof your stories with zeal and vigor; vet every single word with the utmost care with our editors and lawyers
