WSJ seeks columnist to cover Wall Street people

The Wall Street Journal seeks a staff reporter to chronicle the comings and goings of the financial industry, homing in on the people moves and executive shakeups of firms large and small.

This reporter will write frequently with news about the people of Wall Street and the financial industry more broadly. This columnist must be able to source aggressively, and ferret out personnel changes that are not made public.

Experience with financial reporting is preferred but not essential.

Above all, this person should have the iron will of a Page Six columnist, the flair of a great salesman, and raw ambition for what this newly created post can be.

To apply, go here.
