Barron’s seeks writer to cover its stock picks

Barron’s is seeking a writer who will cover our stock picks on a daily basis while also generating ideas of their own.

The ideal candidate will have a love for stocks–what makes them rise and fall, the fundamental forces that drive them, and the technical forces that can help determine when to buy and when to sell. Their job will be to follow the Barron’s portfolio, adding to the story where necessary, and writing timely stories when they are on the move. This writer will also be charged with identifying their own stock picks, and writing the stories in captivating ways for a Barron’s audience. An understanding of financial statements is a must, as is the ability to do original reporting with executives and other sources.

Barron’s strongly values teamwork, so the ability to collaborate with reporters, editors and our visual journalists is a must.

Interested parties should send a resume and cover letter to David.Cho@barrons.com and Bob.Rose@barrons.com and apply through the link on this job posting.

To apply, go here.
