Lead Writer, Live Markets

The Wall Street Journal is looking for a skilled, curious and enthusiastic markets writer with the experience to take a leading role in a new kind of coverage. Live Markets will become the Journal’s centerpiece for covering financial markets in real time, leaning heavily on analysis and intelligence and devoted to bringing news and insight to readers fast. It isn’t tethered to traditional story formats and will make use of charts and data and the full range of digital tools. As lead writer, you’ll be an active participant in the daily Live Markets coverage. You’ll help steer the work of colleagues, and you’ll help shape the new product from its early days. You’ll also have a public profile, representing the Journal and its excellence in markets and finance reporting on social media, in video or podcast appearances, and at live events. You’ll report to one of our markets bureau chiefs, and you’ll work out of our New York office.
