WSJ seeks Asia deals editor

The Wall Street Journal is looking for an accomplished reporter/manager to lead our team covering deals and finance in Asia.

China has spawned a generation of little known firms that are shaking up the world of M&A, a multi-trillion business in opaque and sometimes sketchy investment products, a cohort of advisers who have muscled out Wall Street banks, and a flood of money that is churning out asset bubbles as it flows from market to market.

We are looking for someone who can bring those developments and the people behind them to life.

The position involves running a team of reporters in Hong Kong and Shanghai — setting editorial priorities, shaping stories and keeping a group of good reporters ahead of the news. The job could skew more heavily toward reporting or editing depending on the candidate.

Either way, the person should be prepared to be a player coach or deeply involved editor covering some of the most fascinating and important stories in finance. Fluency in Mandarin is a strong plus.

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 (including up to five published samples of your work), current and expected salary.

To apply, go here.
