Job Description:

The Wall Street Journal is looking for an energetic Newsletter Writer to join our team.

In this role, you'll spend part of the week writing the Saturday and Sunday editions of The 10-Point, our flagship newsletter and a key benefit for Journal subscribers. You'll set the weekend news agenda for a vast audience of engaged readers, and work closely with Editor in Chief Emma Tucker on the writing, curation and evolution of the newsletter.

You'll also help compile and analyze newsletter data to identify opportunities across our portfolio, as well as support ongoing newsletter initiatives. Newsletters are an important area of growth for the Journal and you'll be part of a team that guides their continued success.

We're looking for someone enterprising and versatile, who's just as comfortable summarizing an ambitious piece of journalism as parsing open-rate data to improve subject lines. You must have excellent journalistic instincts, including a lively and conversational writing style; sound news judgment and top-notch curation skills; and the ability to work on a deadline. We value collaboration, creativity, reliability and initiative.

You will:

• Work closely with WSJ Editor in Chief Emma Tucker to produce a lively, informative and error-free weekend read
• Summarize Journal coverage and source newsletter-exclusive items from the newsroom
• Track and act on audience data to grow subscribers and strengthen reader engagement
• Work with the newsroom to enhance existing newsletters, including analyzing data, disseminating best practices and supporting newsletter projects
• Provide writing and production support for newsletters across the portfolio
• Monitor and respond to reader emails

You have:

• At least two years of journalism experience
• Strong writing and editing skills, news judgment and ability to meet deadlines
• Experience writing, producing or launching newsletters or a demonstrated interest in newsletters
• A proven commitment to audience-first thinking and enthusiasm for data analysis
• A track record of working independently
• Familiarity with the Journal brand, voice and coverage, ideally in core areas such as markets, business and politics

This is a hybrid position with three days spent each week in our New York City office. Your shift will be roughly from 12 p.m. ET to 8 p.m. ET on Tuesdays through Saturdays. You will report to the Head of Newsletters.

To apply, please submit a resume and a cover letter explaining how your skills, experience and interests align with the expectations of the role by July 6.
