Bloomberg Media is looking for an editor to join our Markets Magazine team in New York or London.

• Collaborate with graphics, audience and video teams to build Markets Magazine’s presence on Bloomberg’s video channels
• Use the Bloomberg terminal and Bloomberg’s proprietary AI tools to uncover data and insights and develop novel ways of curating and delivering them

You’ll need to have:

• 8+ years of experience in financial journalism
• Deep understanding of finance and markets, including familiarity with banking, investment management, stocks, bonds, real estate, private equity, credit, takeovers and mergers, energy and commodities, economics, trading, central banking, venture capital, and consumer finance.
• Fluency in and intense curiosity about culture, public affairs and the wider world that is shaped by (and shapes) markets and finance.
• Proven ability to translate sophisticated financial material into engaging and accessible language, without sacrificing accuracy or precision
• Experience commissioning and editing enterprise journalism and compelling, accessible markets and economic analysis for an intelligent, global audience with high expectations
• Fluency across digital formats, including newsletters, charts and other data visualizations, and short-form video
• A strong understanding of how digital audiences are evolving, analytics and the digital subscription ecosystem
• A track record of collaboration with newsroom and media platform teams
• The ability to network and build relationships with reporters and editors across our large global newsroom, and among freelancers
• Entrepreneurialism, flexibility and a willingness to pitch in to help colleagues
• Familiarity with the Bloomberg terminal is a plus
