Bloomberg News is seeking a seasoned journalist to drive our economic and government coverage across South Asia.

We’ll trust you to:

• Write insightful stories on the South Asia economic and political landscape, while spotting new trends and connecting the dots to craft insightful, enterprise stories

• Build and use your contacts to help Bloomberg chronicle the growth and impact of the economy in the region

• Collaborate with colleagues across teams, bureaus and countries to break news and deliver a global perspective to our audience

• Be innovative and think creatively about ways to make our content accessible to a diverse audience of business-savvy readers

You’ll need to have:
