You will:

• Curate and publish breaking news, market moves, and corporate updates using Dow Jones content.

• Begin work at 6:30am on a typical 9-hour shift, including a one-hour lunch break. Flexibility is required based on news flow and global team coverage. 

• Use CMS tools to tag and optimize content across the NewsPlus platform.

• Package content for newsletters and briefings with clear, concise summaries.

• Monitor real-time news flow and spot top headlines across regions.

• Collaborate with colleagues in WSJ, Dow Jones Newswires and other teams globally.

You have:

• Some experience in a digital newsroom or publishing environment.

• Strong interest in financial markets, business news or economics.

• Familiarity with content management systems and metadata tagging.

• Excellent editorial judgment and a sharp eye for detail.

• Ability to prioritize in a deadline-driven environment.

• A collaborative, proactive mindset and willingness to work flexible shifts.
