Job description

One of the hottest news topics today is AI and tech policy, which dominates the conversation at the White House, in Congress, and at state houses as well as C-suites and boardrooms. Help guide a talented team of Bloomberg Industry Group reporters whose beats are at the intersection of politics, regulation, and risk.

Direct breaking news and enterprise journalism that’s essential for legal, tax, government, and business audiences. This is your opportunity to own news coverage that connects all the key players, politics, and policy.

What you will do: Be a newsroom leader. Yes we produce great journalism, but what makes it possible is our culture and our people. Your job is strengthening both.

Monitor the daily flow of news, and ensure quality standards remain high. Coordinate not only your team of reporters and editors, but understand what’s happening in the rest of the newsroom and ensure that we’re covering major developments from all relevant angles.

You need to have: Exceptional curiosity and news judgment to make assignments and set the team’s agenda, from daily coverage to longer term targets. Top-notch editing skills and the ability to make a story shine, provide constructive feedback, and help editors communicate in a similar way.

Knowledge of what our readers need and what coverage will resonate. Ability to adapt to new technology and tools, as well as excellent organizational skills to track reporter/editor availability, prioritize resources on a daily and weekly basis, and analyze data to help inform coverage decisions. Courage to make tough decisions in the moment as news breaks, learn from mistakes, and adjust as needed. Educate reporters and editors about newsroom goals and help them create the best possible stories on their beat. Be a self-starter who sets high standards and leads by personal example.

You will need to think big and challenge your team to do the same.

Bachelor’s degree with coursework in journalism or equivalent experience.

Five-or-more years of experience in journalism, with demonstrated success producing excellent and ambitious stories.

Compensation Range: $105,000.00-$135,000.00 Placement in the salary range will be decided upon completion of the interview process.
