Dow Jones seeks publishing editor for its Barcelona bureau

Dow Jones is seeking a publishing editor for its newswires focused on business, finance, markets and economies across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Based in Barcelona, this editor will be a wordsmith who can digest copy quickly and thoroughly for style and substance. This role is responsible for ensuring content, written in English, meets the highest standards for financial professional audiences.

As a publishing editor, you will be handling short stories from writers covering the news as it happens. The working environment will be fast-paced, high-volume and multilingual, requiring seamless teamwork with colleagues locally, in Dow Jones’s European head office in London and across its global newswires hubs.

Successful candidates will have first-rate written and spoken English, the ability to balance accuracy and speed, and have proficiency in at least one other European language. Knowledge of corporate earnings, financial statements, economic indicators and/or financial markets is expected.

An ability to quickly grasp software and technology is important, especially in the areas of news production and data handling.

A key part of the role includes communicating with other editors, reporters and coverage chiefs across the region and more broadly. The ability to work varying shifts may also be required.
