WSJ seeks market reporter in New York

The Wall Street Journal seeks a special new breed of reporter and writer – something we call a “market maniac.”

The term defines someone who is deeply interested in and passionate about the global markets – be they bonds, stocks, foreign exchange, commodities, or derivatives – and who wants to share that knowledge on a real-time basis with the Journal’s sophisticated financial readership.

This work will take many forms, be they short-form intraday updates to long, deeply reported projects about the markets. This person will ideally have at least 5 years of experience, with core expertise on at least one aspect of the global financial system.

This person must be flexible, curious, and ambitious, and be eager to be part of a new markets effort at the Wall Street Journal. Above all, a “market maniac” must be committed to explaining how the world really works – and be passionate about getting that knowledge to the Journal’s 2 million-plus subscribers.

To apply, go here.
