Bloomberg
Overview
Bloomberg News is looking for a New York-based reporter to break news on the $7.5 trillion corporate bond market. Companies are piling into the market now to fund acquisitions and their growing investments in artificial intelligence and are increasingly looking at selling riskier securities like hybrid bonds.
These huge debt needs are coinciding with strong demand from investors that's helped drive borrowing costs to the lowest levels in about three decades. We're looking for an ambitious reporter to chronicle how and why the world's largest companies are borrowing while explaining the impact it has on the economy and the risks that emerge in the process.
Your coverage will include the bond graders: S&P Global, Moody’s and Fitch. As gatekeepers for bond sales, heavy issuance has boosted their profits, but they're also facing risks from the rise of private credit that is often unrated. The use of more creative financing structures to obtain investment-grade ratings is also becoming more prevalent, in part to meet demand from insurance firms that are among the biggest buyers of such debt.
The successful candidate will have experience covering capital markets, have a solid track record of delivering scoops on their beat and a good understanding of corporate capital structures. Applicants with a broad base of contacts across the financial services industry -- particularly in bond markets -- would be preferred.
You’ll find opportunities to tell the market’s most important stories across Bloomberg’s growing number of platforms, including Bloomberg TV and Radio, and podcasts.
Responsibilities
Break news on high-grade bond sales by tracking deals and building market sources to monitor key market indicators such as performance, supply and demand.
Use your contacts to help Bloomberg chronicle the debt deals that are helping to fund the boom in AI, while delivering scoops on the bond packages backing large corporate acquisitions
Be innovative and think creatively about ways to make our content accessible to a broader audience of business-savvy readers
Qualifications
Previous experience in financial journalism or credit markets
Ability to write quickly and clearly under deadline pressure
Ability to spot trends, find holes in stories and work with reporters to deliver impactful news to our readers
How to apply If this sounds like you: Apply and we'll be in touch to discuss next steps
