Job Description:
The Wall Street Journal seeks an ambitious reporter to cover the Treasury Department and U.S. economic policy, based in the Washington bureau.

The successful candidate will have a demonstrated history of nailing big scoops and writing agenda-setting enterprise. An ability to provide a download for different platforms on nearly any economic issue with relatively little notice, but also allow for the time and space to write deep, thoughtful, collaborative investigations is required. Ability to collaborate with colleagues in other coverage areas, such as our reporters who cover tax policy, the Federal Reserve, economics, the White House, and Congress, is a must.
The position is based in the Journal's Washington bureau.
You will:
- Break agenda-setting news on your beat.
- Conceptualize and deliver deeply reported enterprise stories.
- Work with colleagues around the country and the world in a 24-hour-a-day global newsroom.

- Ability to report and write clearly under deadline pressure.
- A deep understanding of the ins and outs of U.S. economic policy and the inner workings of U.S. government's economic policy teams.
- Proven ability to develop sources and write authoritatively on policy developments and what they mean.
- A track record of tackling ambitious projects, finding original approaches to coverage and working with visuals to tell stories creatively.
To apply, please submit your resume, a cover letter detailing how you would do the job, story ideas, and five examples of your best work. Please contact if you have questions.
The Journal's reporters, editors, developers, and audio and visual journalists create important and impactful stories, firmly rooted in fact and adhering to the highest ethical standards. We report without fear or bias, and we maintain a proper sense of perspective, detachment and objectivity in our reporting.
