Europe ECM Reporter
Bloomberg News is seeking an enterprising journalist to cover Equity Capital Markets activities for the Europe stocks team. The successful candidate will be a tenacious, well-sourced reporter who is passionate about breaking news, continually developing contacts and writing important, market-moving stories. Our reporters are team players who can tell stories on multiple platforms, whether it’s the newswire, the website, Bloomberg’s magazines, TV network or the radio and podcast operation.
The ECM reporter will be responsible for covering day-to-day ECM events, generating scoops on stock offerings, block trades and convertible bonds, helming a daily column about ECM news and trends and writing compelling stories about broad market themes.
