WSJ seeking senior special writer for corporate news

The Wall Street Journal is looking for an experienced investigative journalist to do deeply reported stories about American companies. The ideal candidate will be extremely comfortable with the full range of company filings and have a demonstrated facility in finding and analyzing data.

The job involves unearthing and reporting out the clues hiding in the thousands of pages of typical companies’ securities filings, as well as turning up newsworthy patterns in cleverly assembled data sets. Our interests for this job include taxes, regulations and compensation, but aren’t limited to those areas, and the successful candidate will be encouraged to identify areas of their own to investigate.

The job is based in New York, but alternative locations wouldn’t be ruled out.

Please attach a resume, cover letter and three to five published clips to your online application.
