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 a Managing Editor to lead our Economy and Government coverage across South and Southeast Asia, as well as Australia and New Zealand. You will oversee a dedicated team situated in multiple time zones charged with delivering breaking and market-moving news, in-depth and authoritative analysis, and memorable enterprise across a very broad area of coverage. This includes India's rise as an economic power, rising tensions in the South China Sea and US-China competition in places like the Pacific Islands and Southeast Asia.
You have a strong understanding of economics and politics as well as a background in innovative journalism and experience leading reporting teams. You will think in terms of Economies, Policy and Power, following the money where it goes. You will also be fully committed to breaking down false borders between economics and government coverage, and strengthening ties to other parts of the newsroom -- notably Markets, Commodities, Tech and Finance.
You excel in a fast-paced environment having experience dealing with multiple breaking stories and a heavy calendar. You also have the ability to step back and generate deeper dives and thought-provoking enterprise, and promote stories internally and externally across all of Bloomberg.

- Drive and coordinate the coverage of Economy and Government across South and Southeast Asia and Australia
- Be a thoughtful and dedicated leader determined to elevate our coverage across the region
- Work seamlessly with Team leaders across the beat to prioritize, plan and coordinate coverage priorities and editing resources
- Spot gaps and deliver innovative ways to improve our content and publish insightful stories
- Promote diversity of thought and representation throughout our coverage
- Build influential relationships across the newsroom including markets, commodities, business, and finance to ensure our coverage captures the context of local developments and resonates globally and across all platforms
You’ll need to have:
- At least 8 years of experience as a financial reporter or editor
- At least 8 years of experience in a real-time news environment
- At least 2 years of experience directly managing journalists in a newsroom
