The candidate will have one of the most important beats in American journalism, responsible for breaking stories on policies ranging from trade to the federal budget, serving the world’s most demanding and sophisticated audience. The reporter will explore how those policies shape, for better or worse, the lives, businesses and political direction of the country.
The ideal candidate should have significant experience covering economic policy in Washington and be able to break news and write deep enterprise pieces on themes that touch all American households and businesses. The beat’s institutional focus is the Treasury Department, the nerve center for federal economic policy, but will span across a broad range of agencies and issues that shape economic policy in Washington.
The successful candidate will have a demonstrated history of nailing big scoops and writing agenda-setting enterprise. An ability to provide a download for different platforms on nearly any economic issue with relatively little notice, but also allow for the time and space to write deep, thoughtful, collaborative investigations is required. Ability to collaborate with colleagues in other coverage areas, such as our reporters who cover tax policy, the Federal Reserve, economics, the White House, and Congress, is a must.
The position is based in the Journal’s Washington bureau.
