This editor should possess the drive to reshape MarketWatch's coverage, experiment with new forms of storytelling, and new ways to help fulfill our mission to tell readers "what the news of the day means to you and your money." The reporters will write frequently, covering the ground and also delivering original, richly-reported journalism.

The editor must have at least seven years of experience covering Washington; be well-versed in the interplay of business, finance, markets and policy; and be well-sourced inside the Beltway.

The role will be a player-coach who writes and reports stories as well oversees assigning and editing. The bureau chief will collaborate with reporters, editors, designers.
