The Wall Street Journal seeks a curious reporter with an elegant pen and an appreciation of the human spirit to chronicle what Steve Jobs called “the single best invention of life:” death.
We are looking for an obituary writer. The ideal candidate understands how to capture the lives of CEOs and celebrities, investors and inventors, and luminaries from all fields with grand sweep, bright color and sharp detail. We seek to illuminate the people behind the resumes with lively anecdotes and smart context.
The writer will also be responsible for working with other parts of the Journal to help develop advance obituaries and finding lesser-known subjects for feature obituaries. Candidates must be able to write quickly and accurately on deadline for all platforms.
