    Reporter --- Job Number: 1000013164

    MarketWatch, a leading online provider of financial news and advice, is seeking an aggressive reporter to cover Asian securities markets from Hong Kong. Part of a two-person bureau, this reporter will help produce daily roundups of Asian markets activity, spot market trends and write occasional enterprise pieces on companies, sectors or particular country exchanges. The successful candidate will have a passion for markets and an eye for spotting news and information that would be useful for investors in the U.S. and elsewhere who might want to put money into Asia. The successful candidate must also be comfortable and savvy with social media as a communication and reporting tool. Clear, accurate writing in English is also essential. Familiarity with Mandarin and/or Cantonese is preferred.



    Reporter, Media/Technology --- Job Number: 100013184

    MarketWatch seeks a New York-based reporter to cover technology and media, and the explosion of news that happens where the two intersect. The successful candidate will have a proven track record of building sources, generating market-moving scoops and providing trenchant analysis on the global media, technology, advertising and telecommunications industries. He or she will also be a social media maven with aggressive engagement on Twitter, LinkedIn and other relevant social platforms, and an understanding of how to use social media as a reporting tool. The beat will encompass the world's top media companies including Viacom, Comcast, Time Warner and Disney, to name a few. It will include coverage of the New York operations of Internet giants such as Google, Yahoo and Facebook as well as the city's bubbling startup community. The nexus where advertising, mobile content strategies, telecommunications and media intersect will be a key hunting ground for this reporter. He or she will also spearhead MarketWatch overall technology coverage in the early morning, covering news in real time as it breaks and getting an early read on how tech stocks are behaving.



    News Editor --- Job Number: 100013297

    MarketWatch is looking for a technology editor to lead coverage of this key sector. The ideal candidate will be a leader who can write, edit and assign as MarketWatch covers the business, the technology and the market moves of major publicly traded technology companies. The editor will be responsible for setting the day-to-day coverage, working closely with our team of reporters, to handle both breaking news and longer-term features, and have both a creative yet disciplined approach toward doing so. The candidate will have a proven track record building sources, generating scoops and writing insightful analysis, and previous editing experience is a plus. The editor also will be able to harness the best of social media, have the ability to tell stories across several media and have a presence on Twitter, LinkedIn and other platforms. The position will be based in San Francisco.


    News Editor --- Job Number: 100013836

    MarketWatch is looking for an editor on its markets team based in New York. The ideal candidate will have a background in business journalism, preferably with some markets and investing experience, and an interest in a role that demands a range of skills. These include copy editing in a real-time environment, feature editing, assigning spot news and analysis, managing reporters, blog and column writing, and participation in a variety of group-based editorial projects. We’re looking for someone who has solid business journalism skills, is comfortable telling stories about numbers, and who’s also eager to jump in with new ideas that will help MarketWatch retain its place on the cutting edge of digital journalism. He or she should also have a sense of how to use social media for sourcing and distribution. A good sense of humor and ability to act with grace under pressure are key. In your cover letter, please describe how your background dovetails with the above job description, your best new idea for MarketWatch, and include your professional social media handles.



    Editor, Commentary & Opinion --- Job Number: 100013993

    MarketWatch seeks a veteran opinion editor with a solid understanding of the markets, investing, economics and global affairs. The right candidate will be a skilled wordsmith and coach who can manage both experienced columnists and inexperienced outside Op-Ed writers to help them deliver well-researched, thoughtful and actionable commentary. This role requires an entrepreneurial spirit and offers the opportunity to build out a significant and important growth area. We’re looking for someone who will support and promote our existing columnists and also leverage the power of the MarketWatch brand to bring in the biggest names in business to write Op-Eds. Experience with newsletters and subscription commentary is preferred. This is a senior role within the MarketWatch leadership team.



    Senior Editor, Investor-Focused News ---- Job Number: 100013994

    MarketWatch seeks a senior editor to oversee teams covering investor-focused news, including companies, technology and the economy. This position is based in New York but includes oversight teams in San Francisco, Washington, DC and other bureaus. The right candidate will have a long track record of leading news teams that consistently beat the competition and deliver original, actionable news and analysis. This is a senior management position at MarketWatch and strong journalistic and management credentials are required.


    Reporter, Personal Finance & Real Estate --- Job Number: 100014445

    MarketWatch seeks an aggressive, Web-savvy reporter who can help filter the news of the day through a single question: “What does this mean for me and my money?”
    It’s what readers of every news story wonder on some level, but this reporter will focus primarily on the single biggest financial decision most people make in their lives: buying or selling a home. Every aspect of real estate is fraught with confusion, anxiety, and sometimes outright shadiness, so this reporter will need to become an expert on everything from mortgages and real estate brokers to home builders and contractors.

    The ideal candidate should have at least six story ideas before breakfast, and be able to produce quick, smart analyses on both economic data releases and the latest home design trends. This is a premier beat with opportunities for major exposure, including frequent TV appearances and radio interviews. The position requires at least three years news journalism experience, experience in online publishing, strong writing skills, an interest in personal finance journalism, and a keen understanding of how to engage audiences on social media.

    Please attach a resume, cover letter and three to five published clips to your online application.


    Reporter, Transparency --- Job Number: 100014657

    MarketWatch is seeking a ‘transparency’ reporter to uncover the hurdles being placed on the individual investor and what, if anything, is being done to resolve them. The ideal candidate, based in Washington, will not just be on top of the latest developments at the Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission and more from the regulatory alphabet soup but will be able to explain clearly and concisely how those issues impact the investor. Topics for examination will include the fracturing stock market, high frequency trading, insider trading and corporate accounting.
