Reporter, Consumer Finance and Banking

The Wall Street Journal is looking for a creative and energetic reporter to cover consumer finance and banking from New York. The reporter will dive into all things consumer finance – mortgages, credit cards and car loans, to name a few. The successful candidate will be a self-starter with curiosity about how people spend, borrow and save, and who can help decipher and explain the products offered by giant banks and emerging financial-technology firms alike. A central part of the job will be covering regional and community banks, institutions that serve millions of Americans. We’re looking for someone who is eager to develop key source relationships, break news and work closely with others on the banking team and throughout our finance coverage group. Finance experience isn’t a requirement. We’re looking for a fast learner who is excited about helping readers understand what’s going on with their money.
