Dow Jones Newswires seeks a real-time reporter

Dow Jones Newswires, the real-time professional news service of The Wall Street Journal, seeks a dynamic, fast and analytical reporter who can cover corporate breaking news and can quickly pivot to providing our professional readership of more than 60 million institutional and retail investors with the insights they need.

You will be on the front line of our real-time coverage, tasked with writing stories about mergers and acquisitions, executive changes and quarterly earnings involving some of the most significant companies in the U.S. You will also figure out what is driving market movements, uncover interesting details buried in filings and extract information from company disclosures that could have broader significance.

This is an opportunity to write market-leading breaking news for the global authority in financial journalism.

You will need to be able to digest numbers and information and turn them into stories that serve a diverse mix of sophisticated market professionals around the world. You must have a keen eye for news and the ability to write quickly, accurately and authoritatively about business and financial developments. You should have experience as a financial journalist.

While you may start remotely, this position will eventually be based in our New York City office. You will report to the Spot News Editor.

To apply, please submit your resume, three clips and cover letter explaining how your skills would make you a top candidate for this role.
