Wall Street JournalDow Jones Newswires and the Wall Street Journal seeks an experienced reporter to cover energy markets out of its London office.

Dow Jones Newswires delivers comprehensive global business insights, rolling market commentary and expert analysis to professional customers. Newswires also powers WSJ.com and the print edition of The Wall Street Journal.

The energy reporter will be expected to break news affecting the supply-demand balance, such as platform, pipeline and refinery throughput changes and other fundamentals, with a focus on this professional audience.

The beat will also include contributing to the Wall Street Journal’s daily oil market comment, a daily energy newsletter and tracking official selling prices, among other tasks.

The job holder will contribute a robust stream of items to Market Talk, a unique Dow Jones product offering fast, short-form analysis of market developments.

This job will also include writing broader stories for the Wall Street Journal and will entail close cooperation with colleagues across the newsroom in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and also in the Americas and Asia-Pacific.

It will be essential to build strong contacts within the industry, attend key industry conferences and other events and have an extremely good understanding of issues such as Opec policy.

Excellent written English, an eye for detail and the ability to balance the need for accuracy and speed are essential.

We’re looking for good writers, hungry to succeed and with an interest in financial markets generally.

An existing contact base and experience in energy is a plus, but the job would suit a reporter who can demonstrate a desire to break news while generating broader, well written pieces that explain an industry to a more general audience.
