Description & Requirements

Bloomberg Opinion is seeking a Vertical Video Producer and Editor for a 12 month contract role based in Washington D.C. to join our global team of columnists and editors.

We're looking for a social-minded video journalist to work with our US columnists in all aspects of the editorial process – from idea generation and script writing to directing video shoots and post-production. You’ll bring dazzling ideas for opening hooks, an eye for great visuals, a competitive spirit, strong news judgment and an irrepressible excitement for what’s happening in social video and how we can develop our audience. You will also bring in skills as a live stream producer to curate and coordinate regular live webinars broadcast on Bloomberg Opinion’s social channels from X to TikTok.

This is a hybrid role that would involve flexibility to regularly conduct video shoots in and around Bloomberg’s DC bureau.

Requirements

• At least 2 years of experience using video editing software like CapCut and/or Premiere as well as the Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, After Effects and Illustrator

• Experience in using graphics software including Canva and Figma

• A newsroom metabolism: Strong news judgement, a background in journalism and the ability to work within tight deadlines

• Strong knowledge of and active use of social media platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn and BlueSky

• Experience in using live streaming software like StreamYard, Restream, Twitter, TikTok and YouTube

• Portfolio/showreel preferred and an editing task will be required

Responsibilities

• Produce short-form videos on a daily basis that combine your mastery of script-writing, video editing and directing talent for camera

• Work with our columnists to highlight their expertise in video form to break through to our core Bloomberg audience, and, crucially, new audiences on video platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels

• Produce engaging live stream webinars with a panel of columnists from an online studio broadcasting to social channels

• Innovate new ways of turning often complex opinion columns into digestible content for a social media audience: experimenting with explainers, voiceovers, data and trends

• Collaborate with columnists and editors on best practices of social video and turning abstract ideas into engaging video content

• Create other content targeted for social and digital platforms including video and graphics editing, as well as some written content
