WSJ seeks a CFO Journal reporter

The Wall Street Journal is looking for a reporter to guide its readers through the complexities of corporate finance, from cash management and accounting to M&A and succession planning.

You will write for CFO Journal, a product that targets finance executives and other professionals who need sophisticated news and analysis on corporate finance. You will cover the changing role of the finance chief, and the dollars and cents behind business decisions.

You should have business journalism experience, such as covering a corporate beat or financial markets. You must also demonstrate an understanding of corporate-governance issues, management shifts and capital allocation in corporate America and abroad.

You should be able to think and write broadly and be adept at balancing short-term coverage and breaking news with features and longer-term assignments. The writing needs to be sophisticated enough to appeal to finance chiefs, yet clear enough to be understood by other professionals with a keen interest in finance.

This position is based in New York and reports to CFO Journal bureau chief, Nina Trentmann.
