New York, NY, USA
Posted on Oct 23, 2025
Bloomberg News is looking for a New York-based reporter to help expand its coverage of investment-grade private credit.
You will be responsible for breaking news on an opaque corner of Wall Street, delivering scoops on US privately-placed debt deals in a market that has been used by some of the world's biggest brand names including Meta Platforms, luxury fashion house Chanel, Skittles-maker Mars, US investing goliath The Vanguard Group and FC Barcelona.
Household names, often family-owned or privately run, are increasingly tapping the high-grade private debt market to capitalize on demand from insurance companies and asset managers who are seeking higher-yielding assets.
Borrowers, meanwhile, are looking for alternative financing options to volatile public markets to fund everything from new stadiums to acquisitions without the need for credit ratings or more stringent disclosures required for publicly issued bonds.
The successful candidate will preferably have experience covering capital markets, have a solid track record of delivering scoops on their beat and a good understanding of corporate capital structures. Applicants with a broad base of contacts across the financial services industry -- particularly in private credit -- would be preferred.
You’ll find opportunities to tell the market’s most important stories across Bloomberg’s growing number of platforms, including Bloomberg TV and Radio, and podcasts.
We'll trust you to:
- Break news on deals across the high-grade private credit industry while spotting new trends and connecting the dots to craft insightful, agenda-setting enterprise stories
- Utilize your contacts to help Bloomberg chronicle the growth of private credit as an asset class and its impact across the financial services industry
- Collaborate with colleagues across teams, bureaus and countries to break news and deliver a global perspective to our readers
- Be innovative and think creatively about ways to make our content accessible to a broader audience of business-savvy readers
You'll need to have:
- Previous experience in financial journalism or private credit
- Ability to write quickly and clearly under deadline pressure
- Ability to spot trends, and to collaborate with colleagues to deliver impactful news to our readers
To be considered, please submit your application by November 2
