## Description

Dow Jones Newswires seeks an experienced Senior Editor to lead cross-asset coverage in Europe from our London headquarters.

With several years' proven experience of managing and inspiring a team of reporters, you'll be across the significant stories of the day, picking up from our Asia-Pacific colleagues and ensuring a smooth transition into the Americas' business day.

You'll be able to deliver broad and deep coverage at a time of great significance for sovereign and corporate debt, currencies and digital assets, among others, as investment flows adjust to conflicts, trade, tariffs and political change.

- Rapidly assess, edit, and publish breaking news with exceptional judgment, speed, accuracy, and adherence to core standards and ethics.

- Collaborate with reporters and editors across different regions and groups.

- Utilize publishing systems and technology to enhance the speed and efficiency of news monitoring, fact-checking, and cross-team communication.

- Properly code and tag headlines and content for various channels and digital platforms.

- Navigate guardrails around AI while exploring its potential for internal and external use.

**Requirements:**

- Demonstrable track record and several years of experience in leading and inspiring editorial teams to deliver impactful outcomes.

- Deep financial knowledge to quickly prioritize breaking news across sovereign/corporate debt, currencies, digital assets, and broader markets.

- Sharp writing and editing skills covering tone, structure, style, accuracy, balance, and fairness.

- A strong understanding of newsroom workflows, digital/print platforms, and the needs of Dow Jones Newswires' professional audience.

- Advanced proficiency with digital publishing systems and newsroom technologies.

- A well-honed sense of urgency with the ability to remain calm, decisive, and focused under pressure.

- Strong organizational, prioritization, and time-management skills to meet tight deadlines.

- Precise, compassionate communication skills with a proactive, curious, and collaborative mindset.

This role is based in our European hub in the London Bridge Quarter on a hybrid basis, with at least three working days per week in the office.
