You'll balance speed with precision, ensuring every piece we publish adds clarity and value for professional readers who need to act fast. You'll work closely with our flagship Markets Live blog, our suite of macro columns, and on emerging squawk-to-text innovations, helping shape the future of Bloomberg's live market insights.

- Experience in a real-time news environment
