The Wall Street Journal is seeking an experienced, energetic and creative host and producer to be the voice of a new technology-focused podcast in development.
In this role, you will be responsible for delivering important tech and markets news and analysis to The Wall Street Journal’s growing, global audience of engaged listeners through interviews, original reporting and news segments.
This position requires an authoritative yet approachable on-mic presence, impeccable editorial judgment, a deep understanding of audio storytelling, strong production skills and a passion for explaining the “why” behind the news and how it affects listeners’ everyday lives. It also requires the ability to get up to speed quickly, to ask the basic questions that ensure accuracy and precision, and to ask the unexpected questions that illuminate a topic.
Top candidates for this role will have a strong journalism background and interest in the people, companies and money behind the latest technological innovations. They must have experience in tech and/or business reporting, with the ability to ask questions that will help our audience understand corporate decision making. They must have creative ideas for how to tell stories at the intersection of tech, business and finance. Experience in research, reporting and interviewing, including in live settings, are crucial for this role.
A background in podcasting, radio or another comparable medium is preferred. Experience in storytelling in multiple formats, including narrative-style podcasting, is a plus.
The position will work closely with a small team based in our New York City and San Francisco offices, and may be based in New York, San Francisco or Washington, DC.
To apply, please submit your résumé, a cover letter clearly outlining how your skills and experience meet or exceed the key candidate requirements and five links to past work that represents the type of work described. Candidates who do not submit cover letters will not be considered.
