You should be an agent for change who thinks outside the box to meet evolving client demands.
Last but not least, you embrace the challenges of managing people, and you do it thoughtfully and patiently. You get great satisfaction from helping people build their careers at Bloomberg, and youre constantly looking for opportunities for your team to learn and grow as journalists.
