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 and big business, from daily coverage through 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 looking for a dynamic reporter to join our Asia Global Business team in Tokyo. Japan is home to some of the world's most influential and innovative companies, and they're navigating seismic shifts, from corporate governance shakeups to competition from emergent Chinese brands.
The successful candidate will be part of a team of reporters and editors who cover the country's biggest companies, from Toyota to Daikin, Eisai to Seven & I, in the context of these over-arching changes. We're looking for a reporter who can engage with these themes confidently, breaking news on the biggest corporate developments and delivering insightful analyses for a global readership reacquainting themselves with Japan Inc.
