Candidates should have a deep knowledge of Middle Eastern politics, diplomacy and society and substantial experience covering serious regional news. Fluency in Arabic and English is a must. A record of strong editing and commissioning skills, coupled with an eye for a story and the ability to work in a team, is also required. The role will involve driving and co-ordinating our Middle East coverage across a range of bureaux and correspondents in cities around the region, as well as in Abu Dhabi.
