Managing Editor/Team Leader for UK Economy/Government

The UK is facing repeated bouts of economic and political turmoil and they're set to continue for years to come. The country is bracing for its fourth prime minister in six years with the winner facing the job of uniting the Conservative Party and tackling the worst cost of living crisis in a generation with dwindling financial resources. Its central bank led the way in raising interest rates, but is under pressure to do more as inflation accelerates towards double figures and despite the mounting risk of recession. And the UK is still grappling with the divorce from the European Union. Covering such themes is the task of the next London-based managing editor for the UK Economy and Government. This job requires a creative journalist and manager who can lead a talented team of about 12 reporters and editors. They are charged with delivering breaking and market-moving news,in-depth and authoritative analysis and memorable enterprise - all in reader-friendly formats and across Bloomberg's different platforms. The successful candidate will have a strong understanding of economics and politics as well as a background in innovative journalism and experience managing reporting teams.
