WSJ seeks a risk and compliance reporter

The Wall Street Journal’s Risk and Compliance team is looking for a top-notch reporter to guide readers through the growing number of corporate risk and compliance issues world-wide.

You will work on a daily newsletter and write daily and enterprise stories that provide high-level insight to a specialty audience of compliance officers, regulators and lawyers who need sophisticated news and analysis on compliance issues.

We’re looking for someone who can source methodically and break news, develop high-impact enterprise stories and explain technical concepts.

You must be able to produce articles that are sophisticated enough to appeal to risk and compliance professionals, yet clear enough to be understood by general readers. You should also be comfortable with occasionally moderating panel discussions for live journalism events.

Experience covering corporate governance, compliance, bribery, cybercrime and strategic risk is strongly preferred.

You will be based in New York.
