WSJ seeks editor for San Fran tech bureau

WSJ 2017 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.

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.
