• Work closely with reporters, data analysts, product managers, and technologists to improve coverage and processes
• Use and experiment with AI tools and automation to make reporting faster and richer
• Find new ways to collect, process, and present data for real-time insights
• Share ideas that help Bloomberg explain macroeconomic trends to a global audience

You'll Need To Have
