Ottawa Bureau Chief

Ottawa is the center of power in Canada, the place where the most important political and economic decisions are made. It's also a great city for a newshound. We're seeking a bureau chief who can break exclusive news, bring timely analysis, and help raise the profile of Bloomberg's coverage of the Trudeau government and the Canadian economy. The ideal candidate brings deep knowledge of the economy and its key drivers, as well as an ability to interpret the decisions of the most important policymakers, including the Bank of Canada. She or he will be able to work at a high pace and make timely decisions about coverage priorities across the landscape of government news, with a clear focus on topics that Bloomberg clients care about most, including finance, energy, climate and trade. Part of this job includes attending some government and central bank lockups. We're looking for a person who's capable of bringing key newsmakers into our coverage through interviews and editorial boards. Finally, the Ottawa bureau chief will collaborate across teams and departments, taking advantage of Bloomberg's global reach.
