Job Description:

The Wall Street Journal seeks a talented reporter to cover the rough-and-tumble energy markets in London.

This person will be our go-to writer on global oil markets, the intersection of energy and geopolitics, the green transition and beyond. A Wall Street Journal energy markets reporter sits at the heart of our coverage of the economy, international affairs and financial markets. This person will play a key role writing about the largely opaque world of energy traders, hedge funds, as well as OPEC+ and its changing influence on the world.

We want an aggressive reporter who is innately curious about all things energy. You want to tell stories through the larger-than-life characters who power the world and show the impact energy markets have on rich and poor alike. You will get to know pipelines, tankers, solar yields and price caps. You will translate industry jargon into plain English.

A Journal reporter is an all-rounder. We require quick twitch news muscles to break and react to news. We also need the doggedness to dig deep into investigative stories.

The job is based in London and reports to Alex Frangos, Europe Finance Editor.

You will:

• Be one of the Journal’s leading voices on energy markets, explaining the dynamics that drive energy prices and the impact they have on the economy, markets, the climate and politics.

• You will be sourced with traders, bankers, government officials, environmentalists and business leaders.

• You will document who is making and losing fortunes in the world of energy with a focus on the energy kingmakers in London, Geneva, Dubai, Riyadh and Moscow.

You have:

• A willingness to master the complex energy ecosystem made up of explorers, traders, shippers, activists, government officials and bankers.

• The ability to produce camera-ready stories with speed, accuracy and clarity, conforming to the Journal’s house style.

• The ability both to operate autonomously and to collaborate with colleagues across the newsroom.

• The skills to frame stories and find ways to use narrative storytelling and real people to illustrate the world of money.

Please submit a cover letter outlining your coverage plan for the job and include no more than five clips that show your skills as a storyteller and scoop artist.

Deadline is November 21st 2024
