About The Position

Bloomberg Government is seeking an analyst who can track and digest state-level legislation and policy quickly, write about them clearly and concisely, and speak about them authoritatively. You’ll distill state legislation for a national audience, identifying key bills of national interest and trends across state legislatures. We’re looking for a detail-oriented writer who can comb through bill text and research across multiple subject areas to turn complex ideas into easy-to-read content, including explainers of major legislation, slide decks, videos and other content for the newsroom’s social media channels, and more. You’ll also appear on webinars and speak to audiences of policy professionals. Government officials and government affairs professionals will use your analysis as they write laws and influence congressional and administration action.
