WSJ seeks a China tech correspondent

The Wall Street Journal is looking for an enterprising, enthusiastic reporter to cover technology companies in the broader Chinese world.

The beat embraces the most successful internet industry outside Silicon Valley, along with many of the companies that produce the chips and components that power the global economy. All of these are world-leading enterprises caught up in tricky domestic and international politics.

You will take responsibility for covering some of China’s biggest tech companies as well as the region’s hardware supply chain. You’ll be working closely with a team that tracks the corporate twists and turns, competitive tensions, trade frictions, heavy politics and huge money in one of the Journal’s most important areas of coverage.

This beat requires you to collaborate with reporters and editors around the globe; the ability to work productively and collegially in a team is crucial.

We are highly competitive, and you will be expected to lead the pack and regularly break news, as well as identify and illuminate important trends. You will need to generate lots of workable ideas and have the skills needed to see them through, including fluent Mandarin. You should have at least five years of journalism experience. Previous experience covering technology and working in or around China is a strong plus. Location is up for discussion but would be in a major Asian capital like Hong Kong, Singapore or others.

Dow Jones offers an opportunity to work for one of the world’s leading financial and business news companies. We invite interested candidates to submit a cover letter and detailed resume.
