WSJ seeks a logistics and supply chain reporter

The Wall Street Journal is looking for a reporter to cover logistics and supply-chain issues, one of the most dynamic and crucial areas of today’s global economy.

As a member of the Logistics team, you will bring energy, enterprise and insight to our coverage of U.S. domestic and international supply chains, from business strategies aimed at keeping goods flowing to the competition in markets, tactics and trends in fields from freight transportation to e-commerce delivery.

Your ability to develop sources, spot developments and connect the dots in the wide range of businesses and regulatory agencies that reach across supply chains will help the Journal maintain and expand its leading role in covering this fast-moving, rapidly-changing field.

You will write daily stories and deeper enterprise pieces that recognize trends and analyze how developments in logistics and shipping affect broader economic and trade developments.

You should have three to five years of business reporting experience and be comfortable working collaboratively in a fast-paced digital newsroom, able to juggle breaking stories and long-term enterprise features. You will also participate in writing and editing the daily newsletter as needed.

Though you will likely start working remotely, you will eventually be based in New York City. The position will report to the Logistics bureau chief.

To apply, please submit your resume, a cover letter explaining how you would approach the job and 5 clips that are representative of your best work.
