The energy of a newsroom. The pace of a trading floor. We work hard, and we work fast — while keeping up the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit we're known for. It's what keeps us inventing and reinventing, all the time.
 
As a New York-based Bloomberg Live Senior Editor, you are responsible for overseeing our key U.S. marquee events focusing on the global investment, business and finance landscapes including Bloomberg Invest, Bloomberg Crypto, Bloomberg Financial Innovation, our future of work series and smaller, related events. Working with colleagues across the Bloomberg newsroom, you will be responsible for ensuring that the events are editorially outstanding and market leading, create newsworthy content for Bloomberg’s multiple platforms and generate media coverage outside of Bloomberg News. You will work closely with the Global Editor to develop sophisticated, news-making programming that enhances Bloomberg's editorial mission, burnishes our brand in the marketplace and is commercially successful. 

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:

•   Conceive of live events – virtual, in-person and hybrid formats – in unique and compelling ways to differentiate Bloomberg from its competitors and showcase Bloomberg’s talent drawn from across our editorial and research platforms.
•   Direct the “on-stage” program, whether in person or virtually or a combination of the two, including prepping speakers, moderators and emcees and creating the overall flow of the program.
•   Track and manage speakers who support and enhance the editorial vision and purpose of each program.
•   Work closely with our editorial partners across Bloomberg (Bloomberg News, QuickTake, TV, Radio, Intelligence) as well as relevant Bloomberg LP entities such as Bloomberg New Energy Finance and the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index) to conceive of the editorial vision of each event, identify the appropriate speakers and secure them to appear.
•   Liaise with sponsors and the internal sponsorship manager to make sure editorial integrity is maintained while fulfilling the terms of the sponsorship agreements.
•   Create proposals for newsworthy and interesting new events; respond to Requests for Proposals from sales to ensure the events are consistent with Bloomberg's editorial mission, can attract the target audience and are newsworthy.

YOU'LL NEED TO HAVE:

•   A minimum of 10 years of journalism, media or equivalent live events experience
•   A proven track record in developing high-concept or buzz-worthy panels or feature stories, utilizing top global executives or newsmakers
•   Strong knowledge of international business news, particularly in areas of finance, institutional investing, technology, policy and politics, and economics
•   Open to new commercial models
•   A strong external network of newsmakers that can be relied on for ideas, bookings, and expanded relationships
•   Creativity and innovation in all formats and concepts
•   The ability to juggle multiple assignments with good time management skills
