Mexico Markets Reporter
Bloomberg
Bloomberg News is looking for a reporter to cover emerging markets out of Mexico City. The successful candidate will be a dogged journalist with strong source building skills who is passionate about breaking news and writing market-moving stories and smart analysis that connects the dots for our audience. Our reporters are team players who can tell stories on multiple platforms, from the real-time newswire to TV and long-form magazine pieces.
The reporter will be responsible for covering the day-to-day of Mexico markets, including the currency, corporate and sovereign dollar bonds and stocks, as well as pitching in regularly on broader coverage of global emerging markets.

**We'll trust you to:**
- Break news on equity and debt offerings
- Closely track the day to day of local markets, jumping on significant moves for quick stories and offering broader step-back pieces at key moments
- Write compelling stories on emerging trends in Mexico and emerging markets as a whole
- Build sources that bring fresh, authoritative voices to our coverage
- Collaborate across beats and time zones
**You'll need to have:**
- Demonstrated knowledge and experience in capital markets, from currencies to debt and equities
- A healthy rolodex of sources among investors, bankers and traders, and a knack for generating scoops
- Strong writing skills
- Solid news judgment and a strong sense of urgency
- Proven ability to work as a team
