BLOOMBERG

Senior Night Editor

Arlington - 1801 S Bell (INDG) Full time

Join the fast-paced environment of Bloomberg Industry Group's night desk, where you will edit breaking news, build audience, and make an impact. Strong news judgment is key to success in the role, anticipating the developments that will resonate with audiences across the legal, government, tax, and business world. You'll be stationed in the heart of the newsroom, and you'll work with reporters and editors across all teams, which means you must have strong collaboration and communication skills. The senior night editor works with a team of dedicated and creative journalists who lead by example when it comes to driving the news cycle and building wide audiences for our top-tier, industry leading journalism. If you have strong news instincts, find innovation exciting, thrive when news is breaking, understand the power of social media, enjoy workshopping headlines, and geek out over homepage curation, we’d love to meet you.

What you will do:     

  • Plan, pitch, and execute stories that inform and delight our audiences.

  • Seriously, it’s that first thing. But you will also get to coach reporters on how to break more and bigger stories, help us select terrific feature ideas, make sure we meet deadlines, and pitch ideas for videos and podcasts.

You need to have:

  • Have exceptional curiosity and news judgment to unpack complicated legal and government actions, and then to help reporters make them interesting.

  • Demonstrate excellent editing and writing skills.

  • Be highly collaborative and show the ability to manage change, influence others in the newsroom, and communicate with reporters and editors of various backgrounds and experience levels.

  • Have excellent problem-solving and decision-making skills, along with the ability to juggle stories and meet tight newsroom deadlines.

  • Be a self-starter who sets high standards and leads by personal example and can help guide reporters towards becoming stronger journalists.

  • A bachelor’s degree required.

  • Seven-or-more years of experience in journalism.
