WSJ seeks editor on Real-Time Desk

The Wall Street Journal’s Real-Time Desk in New York seeks an editor to help oversee the desk’s coverage of business and corporate news.

This editor will help ensure fast, sharp coverage of breaking new and will directly manage a team of reporters who produce stories based mostly on corporate disclosure. Content produced by this group of reporters serves all Dow Jones and WSJ platforms.

The person in this position will work closely with other NYC-based editors and bureau chiefs to set real-time business coverage priorities. The right candidates will have a passion for breaking news, deft news judgment, top-notch writing skills, several years of experience as an editor, and strong communication and organizational skills. Experience as a manager is a plus, but not essential.

Please include a cover letter and resume with your online application.
