WSJ’s CFO Journal seeks writer

The Wall Street Journal’s CFO Journal is looking for a writer and editor to spearhead its flagship content source: the Morning Ledger newsletter.

The position calls for an experienced journalist who can aggregate and fashion news for more than 50,000 daily finance executives and aggressively build CFO sources. The right candidate will be able to think and write broadly and be adept at balancing producing the newsletter with writing daily stories and features. The writing needs to be sophisticated enough to appeal to finance chiefs, yet clear enough to be understood by intelligent readers with a casual interest in finance.

This position can be based in London or New York.

Please contact CFO Journal editor Kimberly Johnson at kimberly.johnson@wsj.com and business editor Jason Anders at jason.anders@wsj.com if you’re interested in applying.
