Job Details

Dow Jones is seeking an editor for WSJ City, its highly-innovative mobile app that aims to keep busy international business readers deeply informed in five minutes a day.

You will be a first-class editor, people manager and innovator on a tireless quest for excellence, and a leader who can motivate a team to work hard and be passionate about the product they create each day.

You'll need to be deeply familiar with the WSJ's publishing schedule, platforms and processes, know systems including Chartlos, Matterhorn and Campaign Monitor, as well as being fluent with a mobile CMS.

You will be able to craft and edit newsletters twice a day at speed, reflecting the nuances of news events as they happen, and ensure you are showing readers why the news matters, not just what's happened.

You will be highly trained in the WSJ's standards and ethics and know instinctively how to deal with ethical considerations when reworking WSJ copy into shorter-form stories.

You'll be able to move stories at a moment's notice, produce live blogs on big breaking news, and be as adept at visuals and production as you are honing copy to the highest standards under tight deadline pressure. You'll manage push alerts and social outreach during the day.

Working closely with our Innovation team, you will hone WSJ City's UX, keep innovating on the platform at pace, work closely with our development team to crank out updates every few weeks and ensure we have one of the most compelling mobile publishing platforms in the world.

You will manage a team of four reporters/producers in London, who work across an 18 hour day in shifts, and will help them manage their time and workloads for maximum efficiency. You will be an advocate for the platform, internally and externally. You will need exceptional levels of creativity to keep the experience fresh and compelling.

The WSJ City newsfeed is a key element of spin-off apps that require fast, high-quality news throughout the day, and you will be the point person for those feeds.
