Dow Jones Newswires seeks a reporter in Singapore

Dow Jones Newswires is looking for a digitally proficient financial journalist to join our Singapore-based team of journalists who help fuel our real-time news and analysis service for financial professionals.

We are looking for a journalist with experience in a fast-paced news environment and a background in corporate and markets coverage.

You will also be called upon to report on other countries in Asia, so skills in other languages are desirable.

You will:

Identify the most important elements of major news releases, send headlines and quickly write stories and essential updates that will provide professional investors with the news and analysis they need in real time.
Chase and break market-moving news and provide real-time coverage of stock markets in Asia with a close eye on big moves in individual stocks and the factors driving them.
