WSJ seeks commodities editor for Asia

The Wall Street Journal is looking for a strong editor to lead our commodities coverage in Asia. Rising demand from this dynamic region has been the driving force behind commodities markets for years. With lots of new supply and the prospect of slowing economies in Asia, that equation could change, wiping out billions worth of investment.

The editor will oversee a growing team of reporters covering everything from rubber to oil in a region that stretches from New Zealand to Pakistan. The stories will run on Dow Jones Newswires, wsj.com and the print editions of The Wall Street Journal. The coverage will range from daily price reports and market commentaries to deeply reported investigative stories to data driven digital presentations.

This position, which is based in Hong Kong at the Journal’s Asia headquarters, requires a markets or finance background and experience with corporate coverage. We want an editor who will dive into the subject matter to deliver the sophisticated coverage that readers of the Journal demand. A proven track record of driving coverage and generating scoops is essential.

To apply, go here.
