Asia Credit Reporter - Seoul

Description & Requirements

Bloomberg News is one of the biggest financial and business news organizations in the world. We lead the way in breaking news and providing analysis on financial markets, from daily coverage to in-depth features. We are known for our quality, accuracy and ability to deliver news investors can use. It's what keeps us inventing and re-inventing, all the time.

We are seeking a reporter to join our Asia credit team in Seoul. You will be at the center of one of the hottest stories in Asia, covering South Korea's $2 trillion local debt market. Among the biggest in the region, it's where some of the world's most important tech and financial conglomerates tap funds, and increasingly a hot spot for private credit. Korea has also been in the spotlight after risks built up in project financing and led to a string of unprecedented defaults and restructurings, prompting authorities to unveil steps to protect some $160 billion of exposure among financial firms.

You are a Korean speaker with a proven record of delivering exclusives on markets, and helping join the dots to explain the news to our global audiences. Collaboration is a passion. You'll work seamlessly across our global multi-platform newsroom, and within a bureau that covers a broad range of high-impact news on real estate, finance and crypto currencies.

We'll trust you to:

• Build sources to generate market-moving scoops and get right to the heart of the biggest stories
• Report with speed and accuracy
• Produce longer-term stories about important bond, loan and private credit market trends
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across the newsroom in Korea and globally

You'll need to have:

• At least 3 years of business journalism experience
• Experience working in a fast-paced environment
• The ability to write quickly, concisely and accurately under tight deadline pressure
• Fluency in both written and spoken English and Korean
• Demonstrated continuous career growth within an organization
• Excellent communication skills to work with colleagues around the world

We'd love to see:

• Experience covering credit and financial markets
