CFO Journal seeks reporter in New York

The Wall Street Journal’s CFO Journal is looking for a dogged reporter to help readers understand the complexities of corporate finance, from cash management and accounting to M&A and succession planning.

The position calls for an experienced journalist interested in the changing role of the finance chief and entire finance function.

The right team player should have well-rounded business journalism experience, such as covering a major corporate beat or financial markets. The person must also demonstrate an understanding of – or eagerness to delve into – governance issues, management shifts and capital allocation in corporate America and abroad.

The right candidate will be able to think and write broadly and be adept at balancing short-term coverage and breaking news with weekly features and long-term assignments. The writing needs to be sophisticated enough to appeal to finance chiefs, yet clear enough to be understood by intelligent readers with a casual interest in finance. This position is based in New York.

Please include a resume, cover letter and up to five published clips with your online application.

To apply, go here.
