You will partner with other editors to assist in driving, developing, and distinguishing our event agendas and interviews from the rest.

You will:

• Conduct research in a variety of coverage areas across WSJ to pitch themes and topics to be explored at Live Journalism events.
• Cultivate relationships with guest speakers and coordinate their appearances at events.
• Work with colleagues across our Audience Strategy team to plan and execute a slate of subscriber events hosted by our newsletter authors, columnists and other prominent reporters and editors.
• Help cultivate a social media strategy that showcases the range of events and live experiences offered by The Wall Street Journal.
• Uphold the highest WSJ journalistic, ethical and legal standards across event programs.
• Collaborate with editors and reporters across the newsroom to hone their appearances along with ideal topics to cover on stage.
• Pitch strong, actionable ideas for stories, videos and graphics that grow out of - or feed into - events.

You have:

• A solid journalistic background with an interest in multi-platform journalism.
• Passionate about the evolving live experience landscape and its growing convergence with media and entertainment.
• Not just experience but also enthusiasm for developing social media content for a premier journalism brand.
• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage the many different stakeholders needed to collaborate on multimedia projects and events.
• A high level of energy, creativity and idea generation.
• In-depth knowledge of business, culture and finance, and the various topics and trends that may be driving their coverage.
• A knack for picking up the phone or cold-emailing anyone, anywhere.
• Outstanding writing, editing and communication skills.

This position will report to the Deputy Editor of Live Journalism and will be based in our New York office.

To apply, please submit your resume, cover letter and three ideas you would bring to life on the WSJ event stage by May 7.

The Journal's reporters, editors, developers, and audio and visual journalists create important and impactful stories, firmly rooted in fact and adhering to the highest ethical standards. We report without fear or bias, and we maintain a proper sense of perspective, detachment and objectivity in our reporting.
