Deputy Editor, Investing

The Wall Street Journal is seeking a deputy bureau chief to help run its Investing team in New York.

The ideal candidate must wield all of the journalism skills needed to deliver breakthrough work on the most important financial themes in America today. This editor will set coverage priorities, sharpen story ideas and work with reporters to find the most important sources in their beat… and get them to talk to us. In the past few years, the Investing team has led series on the rise of the passive investing kingpins, the remaking of financial markets by quants and took on the country's retirement burdens in Unprepared. The deputy editor will also have to be nimble as breaking news is a regular development in investing. During hurricane season, for example, the team's insurance reporters cover every development from the first warning to the final cleanup.
