Bloomberg News is one of the biggest financial and business news organizations in the world. We lead the way in breaking news and providing analysis on financial markets, from daily coverage through to in-depth features. We are known for our quality, accuracy and ability to deliver news investors can use. It’s what keeps us inventing and re-inventing, all the time.

We are looking for an English-language Editor to join our team covering Japan's markets and its financial industry. You will partner with a group of reporters and editors to deliver insightful stories, ranging from fast-paced breaking news to thematic features, to our audiences in Japan and around the world.

• Build influential relationships across the newsroom to ensure our coverage captures the context of local developments and resonates globally and across all platforms
• Work with reporters to develop ideas, while bringing your own perspective to add depth and value
• Innovate with story formats while promoting diversity of thought and representation throughout our coverage
• Embrace the use of machine translation in the editing process as we also take stories written for the Japanese audience and reshape these for English-language readers

You'll need to have:

• A minimum of 5 years of experience in business journalism
• Previous experience as an editor
• Proficiency in both written and spoken English
• Demonstrated continuous career growth within an organization
• Attention to detail and a big-picture outlook
