Singapore Dow Jones Full time

The Wall Street Journal is seeking an Asia Political Editor to drive and shape our coverage of politics and geopolitics in Asia. This role will play a crucial part in managing stories about major geopolitical events, including ballistic missile tests in North Korea, the changing military posture in Asia, Chinese assertiveness in the South China Sea, and Xi Jinping's clampdown on freedoms at home.

The successful candidate will help lead coverage of a region that sits at the epicenter of the current geopolitical realignment. You will work closely with reporters to break news, find people-driven ways of telling stories, and elevate spot news. You will also support reporters in identifying novel ways to tell their stories through graphics, photos, videos, and podcasts.

This position is based in Singapore, where you will collaborate with our Washington bureau and work across time zones to deliver high-quality content. The ideal candidate will be highly effective at working under deadline pressure, have sharp news judgment, and possess strong organizational and communication skills.

As an Asia Political Editor, you will:

  • Help guide reporters to break news and identify people-driven storytelling opportunities
  • Support reporters in finding innovative ways to tell their stories, including through multimedia formats
  • Work closely with editors and reporters in other regions to lead globe-spanning stories
  • Collaborate with colleagues in business, finance, and economics to identify and lead stories at the nexus of geopolitics and money

To succeed in this role, you will need:

  • At least several years of editing experience, including handling fast-moving and high-profile news events
  • Sharp news judgment and an ability to work under tight deadlines
  • Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to lead coverage across bureaus and coverage areas

We offer a competitive salary package for this role, estimated at around $120,000-$150,000 per annum, depending on experience. This figure includes a base salary plus performance bonuses and benefits.

We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applications from qualified candidates who can bring diverse perspectives and experiences to our team. If you are a motivated and experienced editor looking to take your career to the next level, we encourage you to apply.
