Description & Requirements

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 daily 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 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. Experience with investigative reporting is required, as is impeccable source work, a collaborative approach and a hunger to produce the best journalism of your career.

The ideal candidate will be based anywhere in Europe, Africa or the Middle East.

We’ll Trust You To:

• 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
