• Publish analysis on the Bloomberg Terminal and contribute to Bloomberg media, client engagement, and public-facing events

You’ll need to have:

• A degree in economics, political science, international relations, or a related field

• Strong writing and communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, concise, and insightful analysis under tight deadlines
