Private Markets & Distressed Debt Reporter - Singapore

Bloomberg News is one of the biggest financial and business news organizations in the world. We lead the way in breaking news and providing analysis on financial markets, from intraday coverage to in-depth features. We are known for our quality, accuracy and ability to deliver news investors can use. It's what keeps us inventing and re-inventing, all the time.

We are looking for a reporter to join our Asia Credit team as we build out coverage of the rapidly growing private markets with a specific focus on distressed debt. The region has witnessed dramatic expansion in private funds targeting distressed investments and after years of debt fueled growth is rife with risks to chronicle and analyze. You will help break scoops of fact and insight in Southeast Asia and around the region, while also teaming up with colleagues globally to connect the dots.

You will be responsible for developing sources and breaking news on distressed debt, restructurings, bankruptcy proceedings and special situations, particularly at the intersection with private markets. You're driven by a strong desire to bring more transparency to the opaque corners of debt finance, a particular challenge for private markets but also a rich vein in public markets.

We'll trust you to:

• Break news on distressed debt and restructurings, with a focus on chronicling private companies' situations.
• Spot new trends and connect the dots to craft insightful, agenda-setting enterprise stories.
• Be self-driven but also be able to collaborate with colleagues across teams, bureaus and countries to deliver a global perspective to our audience.
• Be innovative and think creatively about ways to make our content accessible to a diverse audience of business-savvy readers.

You'll need to have:

• At least 3 years of recent financial journalism experience.
• Experience in a real-time news environment.
• Experience covering credit as a reporter.
• Ability to write quickly and clearly under pressure.
• Ability to spot trends, find holes in stories and work with reporters to deliver impactful news to our readers.
• Proficiency in both written and spoken English.
• Bachelor's degree or degree-equivalent qualifications.
• Demonstrated continuous career growth within an organization.
