Description & Requirements

  • Bloomberg News is the biggest financial and business news organization in the world. We lead the way in breaking news and providing analysis on financial markets, from intraday 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 a distressed debt reporter in London to cover the companies and individuals at the sharp end of the defaults, insolvencies and restructurings taking place across EMEA.

    The job offers a front-row seat to the region's most high-profile corporate downfalls, as heavily-indebted firms start to buckle under the weight of higher interest rates. You'll be part of a group of talented reporters who spend their days digging into troubled companies' balance sheets and tapping into well-placed sources to join the dots on complex debt negotiations.

    The right candidate will be equally comfortable breaking news, jumping into unfamiliar stories and piecing together long-form investigations. We're looking for a self-starter who relishes working as part of a high-functioning team; someone able to make full use of an extensive network of well-informed contacts; and someone confident in handling high-pressure, fast-moving news stories.

    We'll trust you to:
  • Collaborate with colleagues on our global credit teams as well as reporters across the newsroom to break news and deliver a global perspective to our audience
  • Analyze company documents and industry data
  • Generate compelling enterprise and investigative pieces, and ensure the team owns the biggest stories
  • Contribute to Bloomberg Television, radio, podcasts, magazines, newsletters, the website and social media


You'll need to have:

  • Sound news judgement and a talent for looking beyond the obvious story
  • A track record in breaking news and developing sourcing
  • A willingness to work well within a team and with others across the newsroom
