The Wall Street Journal is seeking an energetic and versatile multi-platform journalist to chronicle the rapid rise of wealth and luxury in China.
Our ideal candidate knows and understands the trends, nuances and quirks driving this fast-moving space, spotting opportunities to provide exclusive and insightful coverage for and about China’s rich and powerful to our English and Chinese-language websites, blogs and various editions of our newspaper. It’s vital to have a full Rolodex and excellent access to high net-worth individuals, private bankers and luxury goods executives, generating a steady stream of scoops, penetrating interviews and deep analysis. Newly affluent Chinese consumers are having an outsized impact on everything from wine and art auctions to the purchase of vacation homes on distant shores. The ability to provide context and engage both a Chinese and broader global audience is key.
We need someone who can conceive of and write brilliant stories, but that’s not enough. Our China luxury and wealth reporter must also be smart about using graphics and videos to present ideas in fresh and interesting ways and actively use social media to discuss trends and amplify the reach of stories. Proficiency or fluency in spoken Mandarin is a must. Writers with financial backgrounds will have an edge, as will those with the ability to write in both Chinese and English.
The position will be based either in Hong Kong or China. Please send cover letter, CV and supporting links to show your best, most-diverse writing, video, graphics or other superior online work
