Job Description:

Reporter, Dow Jones Newswires - Initial 8-month fixed-term contract with the possibility of extension

Dow Jones seeks a reporter to join its EMEA team providing real-time news and analysis for financial professionals.

The successful candidate will be proficient at identifying important, forward-looking detail from a fast-moving stream of information and turning it into informative, punchy headlines and short articles in English. A major part of the role is also to quickly analyze news and the signals it provides to investors.

Reporters are expected to break news and to seek out interviews with newsmakers across their beat.

The current opening is for an eight-month period. Depending on skill level, the successful candidate could be asked to take on some editing tasks.

Accuracy, speed, excellent news judgment and a close eye for detail are essential. Successful candidates must be able to thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume news environment where teamwork and communication skills will be hugely important. Reporters need to have the flexibility to jump quickly between subjects and tasks while keeping a calm, clear head.

Excellent written English is essential. A strong grasp of at least one other European language aside from Spanish is highly desirable.

Ideally, candidates have some knowledge of what to look for in corporate earnings statements and releases, some familiarity with economic data, financial markets and regulation, with a demonstrable interest in these areas and in news in general.

This is an exciting opportunity to write market-leading breaking news for Dow Jones, the global authority in business journalism and publisher of The Wall Street Journal.

You will:
* Exercise exceptional news judgment to identify news of importance to professionals, with ability to efficiently prioritize and summarize into smart briefs and subsequent analysis of what the news means for investors.
* Recognize and respond to the core audiences for Dow Jones Newswires, and their needs and expectations.
* Collaborate with reporters and editors from other groups, including Dow Jones Newswires, WSJ and other colleagues in other bureaus and regions.
* Uphold Dow Jones standards and ethics.

You have:
* A well-honed sense of urgency along with a capacity to remain calm under pressure.
* The ability to prioritize tasks and time while handling multiple responsibilities.
* Intellectual curiosity and a desire to learn.
* Flexibility in changing/handing off tasks.
* General awareness of how a newsroom works.
* A solid sense of teamwork.

Application deadline is September 1st, 2026
