The Wall Street Journal is seeking a news assistant in its Tokyo bureau. The ideal candidate would be a resourceful and dogged early-career journalist who will work closely with our Tokyo bureau chief and reporting team to produce high-quality journalism on Japan at a critical moment in its fascinating history.

The successful candidate will be expected to provide support to bureau reporters on news stories and in-depth features spanning the gamut of topics that the Journal covers, including economics, business, geopolitics and society. Japan is in the crosshairs of President Trump's effort to reshape global trade. Its economy is showing signs of emerging from decades of stagnation and it is home to some of the world's most recognizable and dynamic companies, as well as one of its richest and most admired cultures.

Fluency in Japanese is a must, as is a proven interest in economics, business or finance. The job offers the opportunity to gain ample experience working within a global newsroom on the biggest stories of our time.
