Job Description:
Southeast Asia bureau chief
The Wall Street Journal is seeking an experienced and enterprising journalist to drive our coverage of Southeast Asia, a region brimming with stories that speak to some of the most significant issues of the day, from great-power competition to transnational crime and from the cost of clean energy to the future of democracy.
Shifts in supply chains are creating new opportunities across Southeast Asia’s vibrant economies, while demographic trends and geopolitical turmoil bring new challenges. In countries around this strategically-located region, the U.S. and China are jostling for influence on issues ranging from military access to mineral supplies. Tensions in the South China Sea have made the waterway a globally-watched hotspot.
We’re looking for an accomplished journalist who can lead this coverage from the front—a top-flight reporter who can provide strategic direction and management of our team while contributing high-impact coverage of their own. The ideal candidate will have a recent track record of delivering world-class enterprise reporting, along with clear strategic thinking, a firm understanding of the subject matter and the maturity to lead.
The position is based in Singapore and will report to the Asia Editor.
You will:
· Build, maintain and nurture a winning team of reporters
· Work closely with editors in London and New York to produce sharp, globe-spanning coverage
· Seek new ways of doing our journalism digitally and visually
You have:
· Exceptional writing and editing skills
· A proven track record of dominating veins of coverage in business, finance or economics
· Demonstrated success at managing news coverage and driving longer-term projects
· The very highest standards of excellence, and a commitment to ambitious and distinctive journalism.
