WSJ seeks a logistic bureau chief

The Wall Street Journal is looking for an editor to lead its coverage of logistics and supply chains.

Global trade, tariffs and supply chain strategies are among the major issues companies will look to navigate in the years ahead. Geopolitics is reshaping where goods are being manufactured and how they are being shipped across the world. Closer to home, new policies, new technology, intensifying competition in e-commerce and a resurgence of manufacturing are changing transportation needs across industries, including retail, pharmaceuticals and consumer goods.

We want well-told stories about how businesses are coping with the forces that are changing our world and how workers are adjusting to developments that are transforming their jobs.

The editor will set the agenda, work with reporters on coverage pillars and develop deep industry sourcing to tell stories of how companies are building new strategies to meet a world in transition.

• Write and assign stories rich in analysis and insight that give readers of The Wall Street Journal and the Pro audience the sophisticated, informed news and perspective that helps them guide their businesses
• Write a daily newsletter that pulls together with authority the best of the Logistics team’s reporting and the wider Wall Street Journal coverage
• Support, guide, and inspire your reporters to deliver scoops and enterprise stories that readers can’t find anywhere else
• Convey insightful information that business leaders can use to make better decisions
• Work collaboratively across different teams in the Pro Group and with the Journal’s worldwide bureaus

You have:

• 5+ years of reporting and 5+ years of editing experience for an online publication
