The Wall Street Journal seeks a bureau chief to lead our coverage of the business of health, particularly focused on pharmaceutical and health-care companies.

The mission takes numerous forms in the day-to-day -- leading daily news coverage, projects or major coverage themes, strategizing with reporters, and helping determine the best ways to tell stories and explore big ideas.

We are looking for a highly digital, enterprising editor with a passion for coverage that dissects topics that define people’s lives. You are an accomplished journalist with experience finding fresh angles off the news and producing high-metabolism, high-quality coverage.

You take creative approaches to storytelling, conceptualizing and executing coverage in new formats; you are a problem solver and a coach who helps develop talent and inspires success. You are highly organized and excel at bulletproof copy. This bureau will run the gamut from breaking news to deeply reported investigations, and it needs a leader with experience doing both.

The job is based in New York City and will be a part of the Business, Finance & Economics coverage team.

You will:

+ Manage a team of reporters

+ Guide daily coverage, working with reporters to jump on news and elevate stories;

+ Drive ideas with reporters and ensure stories and packages remain on track and on topic;

+ Edit stories;

+ Help develop new features

+ Incorporate audience data into story planning and work with social, programming and strategy colleagues to ensure maximum reach.

You have:

+ At least 8 years of experience managing reporters at a high level

+ Experience working with reporters or producers to develop ideas and coverage;

+ Excellent line editing and headline-writing skills, ideally with a specialty in financial topics and service journalism;

+ High standards and an ironclad commitment to accuracy;

+ Experience working on digital platforms and new forms of storytelling;

+ Coaching skills on and off-deadline, and the ability to keep teams focused and positive.
