Bloomberg

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 seeking a bilingual editor to cover China-related news during overnight hours. As a Breaking News Editor, you’ll be at the front line of real-time journalism, scanning a nonstop flow of information, spotting what matters, and delivering fast, accurate coverage that moves markets.

This is a fast paced, high-impact role where speed and precision are everything.

• Write and publish real-time headlines and short-form stories with speed, accuracy and context under immediate deadlines
• Collaborate closely with colleagues in Asia and across our global newsroom to anticipate and prepare for major news developments
• Stay on top of key trends and stories that matter to investors, policymakers and market participants
• Embrace the latest technology to filter information and stay ahead of competitors
• Be a reliable, flexible and constructive presence on a fast-moving team
• Collaborate closely with colleagues across our global newsroom to anticipate and prepare for major news developments, be it coverage planning or tool maintenance

YOU'LL NEED TO HAVE:

• At least five years of financial journalism experience, ideally at a leading financial publication
• Fluency in written and spoken English and Mandarin to support in-depth China coverage
• Strong understanding of China’s economy and government, along with proven knowledge of global financial markets
