About the role

Bloomberg Media empowers global business leaders with breaking news, expert opinion, and proprietary data distributed on every platform, across every time zone. Bloomberg Television is looking for a highly motivated political booking producer to join the politics team in-person at the Washington bureau. The role is responsible for booking newsmakers and top guests on market-moving stories, taking initiative on breaking news, finding appropriate voices under deadline pressure, and supporting the senior producer, line producer, and anchors.

In addition to securing high-profile guests, the producer plays a central editorial role in shaping each interview — including researching guests and topics, drafting interview questions, and producing a concise "one sheet" that gives anchors and producers the essential context for each segment. The role requires a broad interest in politics and government with a specialized focus on markets, finance, and the economy, plus a pre-established list of contacts and relationships with key players and decision makers in government and politics.

Responsibilities

• Land interviews with big names among key decision makers in Washington and beyond, for shows across the network.
• Own the editorial preparation for guest interviews, including research, question development, and production of a clear, concise interview "one sheet."
• Identify the central news line for each interview and develop sharp questions, follow-ups, and areas of accountability.
• Be proactive — pitch ideas, be creative, bring expertise to the table, and elevate content.
• Pitch newsmakers and stories.
• Develop strong relationships within the politics, business, and finance communities globally.
• Work closely with show-side producers and talent.
• Write and produce guest segments for broadcast.
• Work well under pressure in a fast-paced newsroom environment.
• Pivot and react as news events evolve.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent.
• At least 5 years of experience producing for live TV, including booking, writing, and producing.
• Knowledge of politics, government, business news, and the financial markets.
• Problem solving skills, with the ability to work under deadline pressure.
• Flexibility with hours.
