Editor, Asia Economic Research - Singapore

Description & Requirements

With close to 50 economists and 200 economics and government reporters worldwide, Bloomberg has an outstanding capacity to explain where the global economy and geo-politics are now, where they might be heading, and the ways in which the forces interact. Bloomberg Economics offers a macroeconomic research service for Terminal subscribers. That includes detailed forecasts, supported by meticulous and original thematic research. The economists also produce previews of data releases and economic events, analysis of the numbers as they break. The goal is to offer Bloomberg clients a deeper insight into the themes that drive policy, financial markets and capital flows.

We are hiring for an Editor to join our team in Singapore. The Asian economy is critical for Bloomberg clients. Delivering timely, high-value research on monetary and fiscal policies and the future path of growth, inflation and other variables, and how geo-politics is increasingly shaping outcomes in a diverse, dynamic region spanning China to India and New Zealand will be essential to the ongoing success of Bloomberg Economics. In a crowded field, it will also be an opportunity to distinguish ourselves from the competition.

The successful candidate will be responsible for editing economic research that is aimed at helping our clients understand what's driving growth, inflation, policy, financial markets, trade, and capital flows. You will be responsible for editing research from around the Asian region - everything from fast turnaround Reacts to more considered Insights featuring original analysis and research by our Asia economists. You will also coordinate with other editors to ensure seamless support for the global team. We'll measure success by the quality and speed of editing and impact in terms of delivery across all Bloomberg channels.

We'll trust you to:

• Ensure our economic analysis is tightly written, well-structured, compelling, and delivered quickly and accurately - routinely under tight deadline
• Complement the technical expertise of our economists by exercising news judgement on when to write, and how to write and frame research
• Collaborate with teams across news and research to ensure our research reaches the widest possible audience. This includes editing material for different platforms and coordinating with regional news desks and editors

You'll need to have:

• Bachelor's degree or degree-equivalent qualifications
• 10+ years of professional experience with at least 5 years in financial news outlets or in the financial services industry
• Experience working in a real-time publishing environment
• Experience editing news or research on economics
• Demonstrated skill at crafting narratives for a professional financial audience
• Proficiency at editing technical material, sound understanding of basic economic and financial concepts and the ability to write about data in a clear, accessible way
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skill in English
• Energy and initiative to support our economists and help drive delivery of research in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
• Demonstrated continuous career growth within an organization
