Latin America Economy/Government Editor

Bloomberg is looking for an experienced editor to join its economy/government team in Brazil at a crucial time: just as the country braces for one of the most consequential presidential election in the Americas, likely to send ripples throughout the region. The stakes for Latin America's largest economy have never been higher: after one of the most aggressive monetary tightening campaigns in the wake of the pandemic, inflation remains above 10%, hunger and poverty are surging, and so is dissatisfaction with the governing class. Whomever Brazilians chose in October to lead the country for the next four years will have to contend with a challenging political environment and a myriad of economic problems, both domestically and abroad. You'll be joining a team of outstanding journalists covering Brazil and Latin America, a region with an endless supply of compelling political and economic stories. From civil unrest to wild swings in the political landscape, from fast-moving central banks to some of the world's highest inflation rates, it has a bit of everything -- including idiosyncratic political leaders and one of the widest, and widening, inequality gaps on the planet.
