Description & Requirements

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.

Bloomberg News is looking for a reporter in London to break news on investment-grade loans, infrastructure financings and Schuldschein transactions — and to write authoritatively on how these markets are evolving across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

You’ll cover the intersection of corporate borrowing and infrastructure investment, delivering scoops on how companies, governments and project sponsors raise capital for energy transition projects, transport networks, digital infrastructure, and defense build-outs. The remit also extends to M&A bridge loans, refinancings and private Schuldschein placements.

As well as fast, deal-specific breaking news, you’ll be expected to produce analytical pieces on broader themes, harnessing Bloomberg data and collaborating with colleagues across EMEA and globally. Bloomberg already has seasoned teams covering credit and private credit — crucial sources of funding for infrastructure — and this role will play a key part in expanding our reporting on the projects, deals and policies themselves.

We'Ll Trust You To:

• Monitor traditional investment-grade loans, infrastructure project loans and Schuldschein placements, breaking news and adding context and analysis
• Track trends in infrastructure, energy transition and defense financing, developing ideas into both short and long-form stories
• Deliver scoops on loan mandates, pricing, regulatory changes and evolving investor appetite
• Provide a steady stream of exclusive news and insightful content to expert and non-expert readers
• Collaborate closely with colleagues in credit, private credit, energy, ESG and policy teams across EMEA and worldwide
• Recognize and develop big-picture theme stories on infrastructure, financing and regulation
• Write clearly and quickly across multiple formats, from real-time headlines to in-depth explainers

You’Ll Need To Have:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
• Experience with real-time news
• Ability to write quickly and clearly under deadline pressure
• A proven ability to multi task and prioritize

We’D Love To See:

• Developed financial markets sources
• Prior experience in covering infrastructure, investment grade loans

Life at Bloomberg is many things, but it’s never dull. We’re a truly global business with a truly diverse workforce. We pride ourselves on being open, inclusive and collaborative, and provide a work environment that inspires our employees to be their best. We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive healthcare coverage, and programs to support you and your family through different life stages, from parental leave to generous retirement savings plans.
