Editor

We’re looking for an editor to apply their skills to the range of digital expressions of Bloomberg Opinion’s work.

You are a conjurer of magnetic headlines, a deft cutter of sentences, a believer in standards and transparency, a quick study on SEO, and generally someone who loves the challenge of helping great journalism break through the noise with sparkling edits.

Maintain copy standards across our core publication and also off-platform, finding ways to delight and surprise our audiences while remaining true to our brand.
Edit for impact, focusing on the highest-priority content on any given day, including columns, features, newsletters, video scripts, social media and SEO headlines.
Serve as a core member of the team producing original video and social media, weighing in pre-publication and advising on the evolution of our editorial products.
Coordinate corrections and style changes.
Write punchy weekend editions of our Bloomberg Opinion Today newsletter.

Solid experience serving as a copy editor in a news organization, magazine or digital publication.
Deep understanding of social media and social video networks, and the critical role that copy plays in them.
Strong knowledge of search engine optimization, incorporating current trends into opinion headlines.
Passion for collaborating in a fast-paced, iterative environment.
Visual skills and experience in art direction are a plus.
