AI in this role

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 intraday 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.

The Technology News team is looking for a Team Leader to guide coverage in North Asia: everything from the rise of China's robotics, AI and chipmaking industries and the growing clout of the region's biggest hardware suppliers, to a historic buildout of artificial intelligence infrastructure around the world. The role will give you a front-row seat to some of the most important developments of our age, from the US-China conflict over technological supremacy and the evolution of the AI industry to the rise of a generation of entrepreneurs. It's not just business and hardware: We cover tech billionaires with outsized ambitions, the evolution of critical national policies, Japanese entrepreneurs and Korean founders seeking global expansion.
As the point person for the region, you will have oversight of a range of countries and companies, making flexibility, knowledge and experience paramount. While greater China sits at the heart of our coverage, you will also delve into important countries such as Japan and Korea.
You will drive coverage across the region, while working with reporters, editors and managers from Silicon Valley to Washington D.C. and London to make Bloomberg News the preeminent source for readers on the terminal and beyond. You will mentor reporters and help elevate their skills so we can contend with top tier media in the region's many diverse markets. You will also have the communication skills to work smoothly with journalists on other teams, including deals, economics and politics and help set the tone and tempo for how Bloomberg prioritizes news. In the process, you will have opportunities to experiment with a multitude of new formats across Bloomberg's growing video, online and audio-visual platforms to tell one of the most important stories of our times.
You should also be proficient with the technology story worldwide. You will be called on to help with global coverage regularly, including giant companies as well as trending topics such as agentic AI or memory chip demand. You must be comfortable working on stories beyond your own region and foster a successful working relationship with platforms including TV, Originals, Research and others to deliver the most powerful stories possible.
We'll trust you to:

Lead a team of reporters with skill and inspiration
Help the team break the most important stories in tech and craft ambitious enterprise on the beat
Collaborate with colleagues across teams, bureaus and platforms 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:

At least 5 years of experience as a business journalist
At least 5 years of experience in a real time news environment
Experience covering Asia Technology as a reporter or editor
Proven experience leading, coaching and/or developing high-performing teams in a newsroom
Experience also working in other locations either in the US or Europe
Strong editing and headline writing skills
An interest in learning new subjects quickly
Proficiency in both written and spoken English
Demonstrated continuous career growth within an organization
