Bloomberg offers a unique opportunity to produce real-time stories that shape the markets and our world. Their more than 2,200 reporters and editors in 130 bureaus around the globe cover markets and break news for 250,000-plus Bloomberg clients and hundreds of the world's biggest newspapers.

Job Description:

Bloomberg's Multimedia Department is searching for Flash Editors in our New York office. Flash editors are responsible for all words in the dashboard: both scrolling headlines, and the banner that sits on top. Flash Editors work closely with show teams: producers and writers enter banners and name-fonts before air, but flash editors will coordinate breaking news and guest heads. The individuals in this role must conduct control-room coordination of Viz-RT/ graphics operator for all lower-third banners including breaking news, guest heads, story banners, and name fonts, producing that portion of the screen. This position requires extensive up-to-the-second knowledge of the news, particularly in our core competency of business information.

Qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
- Knowledge of financial markets
- Experience working in a real-time news environment
