WSJ seeks editor for CFO Journal

The Wall Street Journal’s CFO Journal is looking for a curious, experienced lead editor to cover the news and issues that affect the flow and use of money inside the world’s largest companies.

Launched in 2011, CFO Journal is the first of the Journal’s professional business verticals, which now include CIO Journal, CMO Today, Risk & Compliance Journal and the soon-to-be-launched Logistics Report.

The editor should have advanced knowledge of capital markets, corporate governance, cash management, and corporate taxes.

This editor will oversee a well-read WSJ.com website and blog that mixes original reporting and aggregation from across Dow Jones news sources and the Web.

The CFO team is also responsible weekly features for the broader WSJ audience, a very successful morning email, and an annual conference for finance chiefs of large, international companies.

This person must be able to juggle daily, online needs with big picture features, identifying the areas of greatest interest and importance to a sophisticated audience.

The successful candidate will be energized by digging into the financial details that drive business decisions, and possess strong editing and management skills.

Please contact Journal business editor Dennis Berman at dennis.berman@wsj.com if you or someone you know is interested.
