THE ROLE:
We are looking for a curious, resourceful and ambitious reporter to help us shine light on the murky world of hacking. This reporter will break news on business-crippling cyberattacks, spot emerging security threats, profile the hackers behind the most devastating attacks and chronicle efforts by governments and industries to combat the crime.
The ideal candidate is a self-starter who is skilled at developing sources in the most unexpected places, collaborating with colleagues to own breaking news cycles and unearthing details that will deepen our readers' understanding of the ever-evolving space of cybersecurity. The successful candidate should be able to unpack complicated topics quickly, deliver clean and focused copy and pitch and execute well on high-impact enterprise stories.
This reporter will join an award-winning team chronicling cyber threats just as attacks are set to hit record levels. In this role, you will keep in close touch with sources who are tracking this surge to drive scoops and richly reported, inside-the-room features on how cyberattacks unfold.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• Commitment to the idea that journalism can and should hold the powerful to account.
• Strong interest in exposing malicious uses of advancing technologies such as artificial intelligence.
• A proven record of producing high-quality scoops and enterprise, as well as copy that is clear, succinct and well organized.
• Ability to work quickly under deadline pressure and contribute to a range of platforms, including the Bloomberg Terminal, the web, Bloomberg Businessweek, Bloomberg TV and podcasts.
• Strong collaboration skills and an eagerness to work with reporters on our cybersecurity team and other teams around the world.
• Previous experience covering cybersecurity or national security is a plus, as is a deep knowledge of coding and technology. However, neither is a requirement.
Apply if you think we're a good match. We'll get in touch to let you know what the next steps are, but in the meantime feel free to have a look at: https://www.bloomberg.com/company/careers/working-here/news-and-research/?tactic-page=588594
