Francesco Guerrera, the money & investing editor for The Wall Street Journal, sent out the following announcement on Wednesday:
The Wall Street Journal is seeking an energetic editor to lead Money & Investing’s investing team. The Journal’s investing editor spearheads some of M&I core areas of coverage, from hedge funds and stock exchanges to insurance companies and public pensions.
This is an exciting time to cover these beats, and to join M&I. The coming integration of Dow Jones Newswires will only add to our reporting firepower, giving the section’s editors more resources to both deepen and broaden our coverage of the markets and institutions that matter most to our readers across all our real-time and print platforms.
The right candidate must demonstrate keen news judgment, as well as the ability to handle real-time deadlines and, when major stories emerge, marshal our reporting teams to produce the best and most comprehensive coverage in the financial-news business. Finally, he or she must possess a deft and careful editing touch on features, investigative pieces and other long-form stories worthy of The Journal’s Page One.
The job is based in New York. Interested candidates should contact Francesco Guerrera, Rick Brooks, Emma Moody or our outgoing investing editor, Justin Baer.
