Reporter, Careers & Workplace

The Wall Street Journal’s Life & Work team is hiring an ambitious, creative and productive reporter to spot workplace and hiring trends as they’re happening and help readers navigate careers and the changing nature of work. The Journal’s Life & Work desk helps guide readers' decisions and examines the ways we spend money and time, manage our careers, use technology, improve our health and better our relationships. You’ll write both news and service stories about the world of work: the return to offices; millennials moving into management; the pains and triumphs of workplace technology; the issues people encounter (and create) on the job; as well as the latest ideas in management. It’s a fascinating time to take on this beat as individuals and businesses alike assess the changes of the pandemic and forces shifting the dynamics of power between employees and bosses. You’ll report trend stories, write off the news and pitch stories and projects with big impact. You are an idea machine with keen curiosity and wide interests who can deliver deadline copy with verve. You spot trends ahead of the competition, have a wide source list, can tackle different types of stories at once, and can compel people to talk on the record about their hopes, dreams and gripes.
