WSJ seeks tech and business reporter in Tokyo

The Wall Street Journal is looking for a reporter to cover technology and the broader business landscape from our bureau in Tokyo.

You will be responsible for covering a supply chain that furnishes technology giants like Apple with everything from screens to computer chips, an electronics industry that defined consumer gadgets but is now fighting for relevance, and a panoply of global industrial giants. These companies, always important, are now front and center as the U.S. and China square off over tariffs, technology and national security. They also have a front row seat as the coronavirus epidemic forces a rethink of global supply chains.

We will expect you to break news and identify important trends, particularly in technology. You will work with reporters across Asia, the U.S. and Europe to deliver world-class coverage against tough competition. As a foreign correspondent, you will also need to be a versatile and fast learner able to dive into the most important stories of the day regardless of the subject matter. It is an exhilarating and important job with a lot of responsibility and room for your initiative.

The ideal candidate has experience covering technology and business news, a talent for developing sources and breaking news, and the ability to conceptualize broader stories. Fluency in Japanese is a plus but not a requirement.
