The Wall Street Journal’s Beijing bureau is looking for a senior corporate correspondent to lead coverage of China’s fast-evolving business scene.
The correspondent will guide a team of reporters in covering a range of corporate titans, from big oil companies to nimble e-commerce and Internet businesses, which are prospering around the world while the Chinese government makes it harder for foreigners to operate in China.
The Beijing-based position is designed for a player-coach, a person who can deliver richly detailed stories of impact, reporting them from the ground up, and who can also guide and edit the work of a sharp team of reporters.
This is a position for someone interested in stepping up to a leading role in covering the critically important China story. The territory comes with the widest swathe of the business landscape: major multinationals from Apple to Wal-Mart count China as a crucial market, and Chinese companies from Alibaba to Wanda are trying to build competitive global businesses. Technology is a priority.
We are looking for an experienced hand, with a keen understanding of business and enthusiasm for covering it. Collaborative skills are a must as is the ability to work under pressure and remain in good cheer. Chinese language ability and a knowledge of China are plusses, but not critical. The job reports to the China bureau chief.
To apply, go here.
