Description & Requirements

With over 50 economists and 200 economics and government reporters worldwide, Bloomberg has an outstanding capacity to explain where the world is economically and politically, where it might be heading, and the ways in which economic and geopolitical forces interact.

Bloomberg Economics already offers a comprehensive macroeconomic research service for Terminal subscribers. That includes detailed forecasts, supported by thorough and original thematic research.

As a next step, we are expanding our geoeconomics research and building out our global coverage of key countries and regions. The goal is to offer Bloomberg clients a deeper insight into the themes that drive economics, markets, and policy.

We are seeking an expert on China to join our growing team. The position is preferably based in Hong Kong, Taipei, or Singapore. The successful candidate will work with Bloomberg’s chief geoeconomics analyst, senior geoeconomics analyst for the Asia‑Pacific and other members of the team on research projects aimed at helping our clients understand Chinese leaders and domestic politics.

Short‑turnaround projects will include quick analysis of significant political and geopolitical events, from high‑level Party and government conclaves to elite turnover. Longer‑term projects will include taking the lead in building data sets, models, and other frameworks that provide a more systematic way of understanding Chinese leaders and domestic politics, how they interact with geopolitics and economics, and what they mean for global business and markets. We’ll measure success by the breadth and depth of our analysis on this growing area of focus for Bloomberg clients.
