About the Role
Bloomberg News is seeking an experienced and ambitious journalist to lead a team of reporters covering the mining industry and metals markets across the Americas. This an important and fast-moving area of coverage, and one that's getting more front page attention than ever as it's increasingly intertwined with government policy globally.

The ideal candidate combines deep industry knowledge with sharp editorial judgment, strong management skills, and a track record of delivering exclusive, market-moving stories.
