WSJ seeks editor for San Fran tech bureau

The Wall Street Journal is seeking a journalist who wants to help shape coverage of the huge and fascinating technology industry for the world’s most important business news organization.

We are looking for an editor on our tech team in San Francisco who can help guide some of the best reporters in the field. Candidates should bring intense curiosity and healthy skepticism; we are looking for someone who is as ambitious, innovative, and dynamic as the industry we cover.

The right person will have the reporting chops needed to guide reporters trying to illuminate some of the most-powerful, least-transparent companies in the world. He or she will be adept at spotting the big ideas on the horizon, and helping to shape them into pieces that are compelling and clear.

Candidates should be versatile in and enthusiastic about multiple forms of storytelling, from graphics to charticles to video.

Deep knowledge of tech’s inner workings isn’t essential, but a passion and ability to learn quickly is.

To apply, go here.
