Dow Jones/WSJ seek editor overseeing currency, economy and fixed income

Deborah Brewster, the deputy managing editor of The Wall Street Journal, sent out the following message to the staff on Thursday:

Dow Jones Newswires and The Wall Street Journal seek a seasoned journalist to help direct economic, currency and fixed-income coverage in the U.S. The candidate will manage a diverse staff of reporters, editors and columnists who focus on different aspects of the economy and policy, as well as Treasuries and currency markets. The position is based in New York.

We are looking for a candidate with a strong record of breaking market-moving news and crafting insightful analysis in the areas above. The ideal candidate will have managed reporters. This is a great opportunity to cover one of the biggest stories of our time. Two years after the financial crisis, the world’s largest economy remains at a critical junction. Officials are looking for effective policy responses to deal with high unemployment, growing deficits and lackluster growth, while global investors are looking for signs of a sustained recovery.

This position is open to both internal and external candidates. Interested? Apply to: Djjobs@wsj.com.
