Overview
The Wall Street Journal is looking for a Middle East correspondent to cover the intersection of business and politics in the region—everything from AI in the UAE to megaprojects in Saudi Arabia to deals cut by President Trump’s family and friends.
For the ambitious, the region’s Persian Gulf states offer gushers of money and governments eager to win influence, gain leverage and get things done.
We’re looking for a skilled reporter and writer able to uncover and explain the deals and trends that define where money is flowing and to what end.
That means sourcing among governments and industry alike, and having the confidence and savvy to analyze and understand the ins and outs of business dealings.
As part of the Journal’s Middle East team, you would also help shoulder the responsibility of broad coverage of this unpredictable and important region.
You would contribute to our coverage of the Middle East’s many ongoing conflicts, help staff major events and rush to the scene of unexpected news.
You Will
- Enthusiastically develop and execute ideas for fresh, important coverage of money and politics in the Middle East.
- Have the demonstrated ability to source up on a beat and deliver important, interesting and accurate stories.
- Work well with colleagues in a team environment, including stringers and fixers.
You Have
- At least 7 years of reporting experience
- Fluency in a regional language, preferably Arabic.
- The demonstrated ability to identify sophisticated story lines and execute them with a high degree of independence.
- Strong sourcing instincts.
- An open mind and a strong sense of ethics.
- To apply, please submit your resume, a cover letter detailing how you would do the job, and five examples of your best work by August 14th.
- Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and we encourage early submission as the position may be filled before the deadline.
