Flexible Night Lead

New Today

Bloomberg News is looking for a passionate journalist to lead a team that owns the first fifteen minutes of news from the UK and abroad. The team's remit crosses UK earnings and corporate transactions, but it's also trade wars, bankruptcies, natural disasters, Elon Musk, and everything overnight from Sydney to Singapore to New York. From the front lines, alongside your team members, you will make bold split-second decisions on coverage whether it breaks on social media, regulatory wires, websites or TV. Given the team's mandate to cover global surprise news in the European day, you'll need to have strong global news judgment. You'll need to know the biggest current news out of Asia and the Americas, and you'll need to be up to date on global geo-political conflicts. In order to be successful in this role, you'll need to be someone who understands the importance of building and maintaining positive relationships across the global newsroom. Leading by example, you'll draw up solid plans for scheduled events, while also thriving on competitively covering the unexpected news and identifying trends. You get great satisfaction from helping people build their careers at Bloomberg, and you're constantly looking for opportunities for your team to learn and grow as journalists.
