WSJ seeks a tech editor in San Francisco

The Wall Street Journal is seeking an editor to help drive coverage of the technology industry.

As part of our tech bureau in San Francisco, this person will oversee a team of reporters covering several of the world’s biggest and most-influential companies. Candidates should bring intense curiosity and healthy skepticism.

The right person will have the journalistic chops needed to help reporters illuminate institutions that are both opaque and powerful. She or he will be adept at spotting key themes, conceptualizing stories, helping reporters navigate challenges in information gathering and ensuring copy is compelling and clear.

Candidates should be versatile in and enthusiastic about multiple forms of storytelling, from graphics to charticles to video. Deep knowledge of tech’s inner workings isn’t essential, but a passion and ability to learn quickly is.

To apply, go here.
