We're looking for a social-minded video journalist to work with our US columnists in all aspects of the editorial process – from idea generation and script writing to directing video shoots and post-production. You’ll bring dazzling ideas for opening hooks, an eye for great visuals, a competitive spirit, strong news judgment and an irrepressible excitement for what’s happening in social video and how we can develop our audience. You will also bring in skills as a live stream producer to curate and coordinate regular live webinars broadcast on Bloomberg Opinion’s social channels from X to TikTok.

This is a hybrid role that would involve flexibility to regularly conduct video shoots in and around Bloomberg’s DC bureau.

• Produce engaging live stream webinars with a panel of columnists from an online studio broadcasting to social channels
