WSJ seeks reporter to cover options market

The Wall Street Journal is looking for a reporter to cover the options market.

Contracts to buy and sell stocks are the focus, but the reporter would be expected to roam across the options landscape, picking up noteworthy trades and strategies in other markets like oil.

The job also brings responsibility for the main options exchanges, the policies they set and how they are regulated. The ideal candidate has solid experience covering markets and a good eye for trades, strategies and trends that get people talking.

Applications should include a resume, cover letter, and up to five published clips.

To apply, go here.
