Smarter, Faster, and as always — First. That’s our philosophy at Bloomberg News.

We’re seeking a sharp and diligent Deals Editor to join our New York newsroom. This is one of the most visible and fast-paced areas of our coverage, where accuracy, clarity, and speed are paramount. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring our scoops and stories on mergers, acquisitions, private equity, venture capital, IPOs, and other dealmaking are as clear and compelling as they are fast.

As part of the Deals team, you’ll sit at the center of some of the biggest stories in business journalism, helping shape copy on transformative transactions that move global markets and capture the attention of Wall Street, corporate boardrooms, and beyond.

We'll trust you to:

• Edit and refine stories on M&A, IPOs, private equity, venture capital, and other major deals to ensure clarity, accuracy, and Bloomberg’s signature speed to make sure our scoops get out first and beat the competition.
• Work closely with reporters and editors across teams and geographies to elevate our coverage.
• Ensure copy adheres to Bloomberg style and maintains the highest standards of precision under deadline pressure.
• Collaborate with colleagues to craft smart headlines and sharp leads that cut through the noise and draw in readers.
• Find or write lead items for Bloomberg's daily deals newsletter.
• Help guide reporters in honing their writing and story structure and handle sensitive sourcing for exclusives.

You'll need to have:

• Exceptional editing, line-editing, and headline-writing skills with a proven ability to improve copy under tight deadlines.
• Strong news judgment and familiarity with the world of corporate finance and deals.
• A meticulous eye for detail, with an ability to spot errors, inconsistencies, or weak phrasing quickly.
• A passion for breaking news and delivering scoops that meet Bloomberg’s high standards.

We'd love to see:

• At least five years of financial journalism or editing experience.
• Experience covering or editing dealmaking stories is a plus, but strong editors from other fast-paced financial news environments will also be considered.
• A collaborative spirit, with the ability to work seamlessly with reporters and editors in multiple locations.
