WSJ seeks company reporter in Zurich

The Wall Street Journal’s Zurich bureau is seeking a reporter to cover corporate news in Switzerland, home to some of the world’s largest and best-known companies in consumer goods, pharmaceuticals and luxury goods including Nestle, Roche, ABB and Swatch.

Swiss businesses confront the difficulties of a highly valued Swiss franc, negative interest rates and a global economic slowdown making companies here a leading indicator of challenges that their counterparts in larger economies may soon face.

An ability to break news and write quickly on deadline, while also writing deeper analysis on trends in key sectors of the Swiss and European corporate sector, is essential. The position will also involve collaboration with reporters in Europe and around the world given the global reach of Swiss companies.

The reporter will also have an opportunity to chip in on general and political news and seek offbeat stories in a country with plenty of fodder for them. German-speaking ability is helpful but not essential.

Please note only candidates requested for interview will be contacted.
