  • Use publishing tools and metadata/coding correctly so content reaches the right feeds fast.
  • Support managed automation/GenAI pilots, including editorial QA before publication.
  • Uphold Dow Jones standards, accuracy and ethics.

  • Real-time editing/production experience in a live environment (newswires, markets, breaking news, live programming).
  • Strong speed and accuracy: can publish flashes in seconds and turn 100-200 word updates in ~8-10 minutes.
  • Sound market judgment: know what's market-moving vs noise; can triage and run a live queue.
  • Comfort with numbers and corporate disclosures (press releases, earnings, SEC filings incl. 8-K/10-Q/10-K).
  • Ability to headline and edit key macro data, including revisions and "why it matters."
  • Clear writing: tight headlines and clean short takes for a professional investor audience.
  • Strong coordination: can assign, route and align work across reporters/editors under deadline.
  • Solid workflow discipline: fluent in newsroom tools, tagging/metadata and house style.
  • High attention to detail (numbers, tickers, attribution, timing) and awareness of the cost of errors.
