Senior Writer & Editor

Freedman Consulting, LLC, a mission-driven consulting firm, seeks a skilled self-starter with a strong ability to research, report, and write dynamic content on public-sector innovation to join the Bloomberg Cities Insights Unit as its Senior Writer & Editor. The Senior Writer & Editor will join a team of content and research professionals working in partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Government Innovation team to:

Grow, educate, and activate a burgeoning global network of city hall leaders and innovators;
Uncover, document, and elevate successful public-sector innovation strategies and skills; and
Identify challenges and opportunities in the public-sector innovation movement.

The Senior Writer & Editor’s primary focus will be planning, researching, and drafting content for Bloomberg Cities’ website (BloombergCities.org) and its associated weekly newsletter (Spark). This content is focused on “what’s next” in public-sector innovation and on connecting Bloomberg Cities’ primary audience, (local government leaders) with powerful insights and opportunities they can apply to their everyday efforts improving the ways they work to drive better results for residents.

The Senior Writer & Editor should be comfortable independently managing projects and working in a fast-paced environment, bring interest and enthusiasm in the field of public-sector innovation, and offer creative thinking on the Insights Unit’s content planning and creation. They will work across a broad range of content creation initiatives within the Insights Unit, often in a client-facing capacity, and, in partnership with the Editor-in-Chief, are responsible for planning editorial content as well as managing the timely delivery of pieces from freelancers, guest writers, and other contributors to the Insights Unit’s products.
