Bloomberg Media is looking for an editor to join our Markets Magazine team in New York or London. The editor will commission and edit distinctive finance-related stories and analysis to extend Markets Magazine’s coverage between issues and find new ways to bring Bloomberg’s market insights to our digital subscribers.
The successful candidate will have a keen eye for consequential stories and ideas about markets and finance, as well as a knack for filtering signal from noise, explaining context and connections, and translating sophisticated financial ideas into clear, compelling prose.

This role will report to the editor of Markets Magazine.
We’ll trust you to:

- 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
