Writer-Editor, Bloomberg Explains & Newsletters
Location: London
Business Area: News and Media
Ref #: 10050403
Bloomberg Digital is seeking a writer-editor to help grow the Bloomberg.com subscriber base in the UK and beyond. The role prioritises content that resonates with subscribers by reporting and writing stories that deliver high‑utility service journalism and explainers that bring clarity to complex topics.
The work assumes an informed audience, but the objective is to avoid jargon and noise. Bloomberg’s explainers provide clarity on markets, politics, and corporate power, while service journalism offers actionable guidance that helps professionals make better decisions.
You will also edit Bloomberg UK’s flagship daily newsletter, The Readout, which distills the day’s developments that shape the country’s policy, business, and markets, curating the most consequential reporting from Bloomberg’s global newsroom. You’ll work closely with the London newsroom and oversee daily production.
Both parts of the role serve the same goal: attracting and retaining Bloomberg.com subscribers by delivering indispensable journalism. The role requires fluid movement between reporting and editing, picking up the phone to advance a story, and elevating a writer’s copy to guide readers confidently.
We’ll Trust You To
* Produce service journalism and explainers grounded in reporting and expertise
* Frame coverage around clear questions and actionable answers, highlighting tradeoffs, constraints, and hidden risks
* Edit The Readout with sharp news judgment and a strong sense of what matters to UK and global professionals
* Turn news into high‑utility guides and compelling newsletter moments that deepen engagement
* Maintain a steady publishing rhythm without sacrificing rigor, clarity, or style
* Collaborate across beats and platforms – working with reporters, editors, graphics, social, and audience teams to maximize reach and subscriber value
You’ll Need To Have
* Strong reporting and writing skills, with the ability to handle complexity without oversimplifying
* Editing experience and sharp news judgment, ideally including newsletters
* A deep interest in how systems work – markets, politics, corporations, personal finance – and how individuals navigate them
* Meticulous standards for accuracy, sourcing and verification, especially with numbers and claims
* Range to move between fast‑turn news and durable, evergreen service journalism
* A strong feel for what a sophisticated, time‑pressed professional audience needs – and the instinct to deliver it with clarity and authority
Benefits
Life at Bloomberg is diverse and inclusive, offering competitive compensation, comprehensive healthcare coverage, and support programs for different life stages, from parental leave to retirement savings plans.
