Job description

Metals Reporter - Singapore

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 intraday 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.

We are looking for an experienced, enterprising reporter to cover Asian metals markets and producers from Singapore, with a focus on Southeast Asia. You will be at the heart of one of the world's most dynamic regions for metals, covering major miners and traders as well as some of the fastest-growing centers of commodity demand.

Working closely with colleagues across the newsroom, you will draw on a deep understanding of the metals industry to develop authoritative sources and contacts. We are looking for someone who can turn those connections into breaking news, distinctive interviews and ambitious enterprise that helps illuminate an often opaque sector.

Though this role sits within the Asia Metals team, the successful candidate will be part of a wider commodities group, and will ensure that our mining and markets coverage connects with everything from battery technology to changing trends in artificial intelligence.

We'll trust you to:

• Break news in English on companies, markets and broader trends
• Get right to the heart of the biggest stories to interpret wider industrial and economical impact
• Generate quick analysis on fast-paced developments, as well as long-form stories with in-depth insights
• Work seamlessly and proactively with teams across regions and departments
• Be innovative and creative in writing and formatting stories

You’ll need to have:

• A minimum of 5 years of recent experience in financial journalism
• Experience working at a real-time news service
• Experience covering metals' markets or commodities
• Willingness to collaborate
• Excellent news judgement and an ability to collaborate across teams and platforms
• Proven ability to build sources
• Fluency in both spoken and written English
• Bachelor's degree or degree equivalent qualifications
• Demonstrated continuous career growth within an organization

Life at Bloomberg is many things, but it’s never dull. We’re a truly global business with a truly diverse workforce. We pride ourselves on being open, inclusive and collaborative, and provide a work environment that inspires our employees to be their best. We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive healthcare coverage, and programs to support you and your family through different life stages, from parental leave to generous retirement savings plans.

Bloomberg is committed to improving the communities, cities and countries in which we work, and we support various initiatives including hiring and developing local talent. So, we may prioritize candidates with legal authorization to work full-time in Singapore for this role, who do not require Bloomberg to sponsor their work authorization.
