Qatar Correspondent

Reuters is looking for an energetic journalist to lead our coverage in Qatar. This reporter will provide strong and insightful stories on the tiny but wealthy Gulf Arab state as it tries to move on from a political and economic boycott imposed by larger neighbors ahead of hosting the World Cup in 2022. The successful candidate will have to be multi-skilled, with strong initiative and relish a diverse array of stories. Qatar is a force in investment, energy, media and sport, and an independent-minded Gulf Arab diplomatic power. Qatar is cementing its position as the world’s biggest supplier of liquefied natural gas, forging new trade partnerships and deepening ties with allies outside the region while restoring ties with Saudi Arabia and other Arab states. Preparations for the World Cup will provide an opportunity for rich multimedia pieces on the desert country.
