Mideast Money and Power Reporter

Bloomberg News is seeking a well-sourced, experienced and collaborative reporter to drive coverage of the intersection of money and power in Abu Dhabi, which is one of few cities globally to manage more than $1.5 trillion in sovereign wealth.

Abu Dhabi's wealth funds, state-backed firms and royal family-linked conglomerates are deploying their wealth to pursue marquee deals, diversify the economy and claim a bigger role on the world stage. That's coincided with an effort to lure hedge funds and billionaires into the emirate, setting the stage for a race with Dubai and Riyadh to be the most influential Middle Eastern business hub.

We’re looking for someone who can break news on the cash-rich funds and opaque private investment firms, as well as the biggest M&A stories and the influx of global capital into Abu Dhabi. You will also be expected to anchor and contribute well-reported pieces on themes including artificial intelligence, private credit, cryptocurrencies and real estate, bringing to life the most compelling characters driving the city's evolution as a financial center. 

• Work with reporters, including our senior wealth funds correspondent, to drive coverage of state-backed entities and personalities that are shaping the emirate
• Collaborate with colleagues across deals, energy and government to break news and deliver a global perspective to our audience
• Generate smart enterprise pieces, and make sure the team owns the biggest stories
• Be innovative and think creatively about ways to make our content accessible to a diverse audience of business-savvy readers
• Boost the profile of the team internally and externally as well as expand our contributions to TV, radio, podcasts, magazines, newsletters, the website and social media

• At least five years of experience as a reporter covering business news
• Strong writing skills, with a particular focus on accuracy, precision and speed 
• Knowledge of regional wealth funds, politics, deals and financial markets
• A track record in breaking news and developing sourcing

Apply if you think we're a good match. We'll get in touch to let you know that the next steps are, but in the meantime feel free to have a look at:
