Job Information
Dow Jones Senior Reporter, Hong Kong in HONG KONG, Hong Kong
Job Description:
The Wall Street Journal is looking for a senior reporter to join our Business, Finance and Economics team in Hong Kong.
This team focuses on the biggest money and business stories in Asia. Its mandate is ambitious and distinctive reporting and writing: We’re looking for revelatory investigations, world-beating scoops, I-had-no-idea features, whip-smart analysis and writerly profiles of the most interesting, influential and notorious people in the region.
This reporter will work alongside others in a flexible team able to set the business-and-finance agenda in Asia, and able to pivot to the biggest topics as the story evolves.
The ideal candidate for this job is well-versed in finance, money and markets, and will train his or her focus on the bankers, investors, money managers, dealmakers and sovereign-wealth funds driving commerce and capital markets in the region.
We’re looking for a reporter able to source up inside these institutions in Hong Kong and elsewhere. We want a reporter who can take a high-altitude view of high finance. The reporter should be comfortable autopsying a Western bank’s failed push into China, breaking news about a sovereign fund’s giant tech investment, or explaining how a regional Chinese bank’s stumble ripples out into wider markets.
You will:
Be a senior member of a flexible team that is focused on ambitious and distinctive work
In consultation with your editor, identify big targets for your reporting that lead to a cohesive body of work on your beat
Be expected to produce in-depth enterprise and investigative stories
You have:
The skills and instincts to jump on news, writing quickly and cleanly
The flexibility to take on a range of topics across a broad geography
Knowledge of finance or markets
Strong enterprise-reportings skills and the ability to conceive and execute deep long-form reported articles and other signature features
At least five years of experience with enterprise reporting
To apply, please submit your resume, a cover letter detailing how you would do the job, and five examples of your best work.
