Description & Requirements
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 on-the-day 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.
Bloomberg Television is seeking a freelance Desk Producer to join the EMEA broadcast news desk from our European headquarters in London. This is a fast-paced, news-driven role suited for a journalist who thrives on tight deadlines, collaboration, and has sharp editorial judgment.
The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in coordinating live hits, turning newsworthy sound from interviews and events, and ensuring timely and compelling content delivery across Bloomberg’s TV, Radio and multimedia platforms. You’ll work hand-in-hand with field crews, producers, and reporters to respond to breaking news, business developments, and major global events.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll bring a deep interest in business, economics and geopolitics, with the ability to spot what matters, and act quickly. You’ll also be someone who enjoys building strong working relationships across teams, and who thrives balancing multiple priorities under pressure.
We'll Trust You To
- Contribute to daily newsgathering efforts, liaising with bureaus, field crews, and reporters to line up live hits, source video, and coordinate breaking and rolling coverage
- Cut newsworthy soundbites and segments from live interviews, press conferences, panels and events, and create TV graphics to support coverage, quickly and with editorial accuracy
- Make editorial decisions in real time, helping shape our on-air coverage and ensuring the strongest stories, voices and visuals make it to air
- Collaborate closely with Bloomberg’s producers, anchors, correspondents, and the wider editorial team to deliver daily news priorities
- Maintain a strong awareness of market-moving news and political and economic developments across the EMEA region
