WSJ’s CFO Journal seeks a deputy editor

The Wall Street Journal’s CFO Journal is looking for a top-notch writer and editor to help readers understand the complexities of corporate finance, from cash management and accounting to M&A and succession planning.

CFO Journal is a must-read destination for finance executives and other professionals who need sophisticated news and analysis on corporate finance.

The position calls for a journalist interested in the changing role of the finance chief, and the dollars and cents behind business decisions. The right team player should have business-journalism experience, such as covering a corporate beat or financial markets. This editor must also demonstrate an understanding of – or eagerness to delve into – governance issues, management shifts and capital allocation in corporate America and abroad.

The ideal candidate will be able to think and write broadly and be adept at balancing short-term coverage and breaking news with features and longer-term assignments. This player-coach will help manage all aspects of CFO Journal, in addition to writing his or her own pieces.

This position is based in New York.
