Job Description:

The pharmaceutical industry is at a pivotal moment and The Wall Street Journal is looking for an ambitious, high-impact reporter based in New York City to dominate this story.

Over the next few years, some $300 billion in prescription drug revenue will vanish as blockbuster patents expire. Drugmakers are locked in a high-stakes race, deploying billions on acquisitions and AI-fueled drug discovery as they navigate China's rapid rise as both a partner and rival.

This is a beat where business, science, and global power intersect and where scoops are paramount.

We're looking for a reporter with the drive to break news on fiercely competitive stories. This person must know how to build high-value sources, spot important financial filings and dissect balance sheets. This reporter can identify cultural moments, like the entry of obesity drugs, to tell big stories about pharma's role in reshaping society. The role requires a knack for developing richly reported enterprise on companies and scientists working to solve some of medicine's most elusive diseases--from Alzheimer's to cancer to Lyme disease.

You will:

• Consistently deliver scoops on biopharmaceutical companies, detailing their strategic shifts and executive thinking as they face the loss of key blockbusters
• Develop sources throughout the companies, from the C-suite and boardrooms to the wider workforce
• Deliver memorable enterprise on the moments and people that matter to this industry
• Continuously find fresh angles on widely reported breaking news stories so the Journal's coverage stands out
• Work with colleagues within the team and across bureaus to execute complex projects and multimedia series.

You have:

• At least 5 years of professional journalism experience covering major corporate beats, preferably in health.
• A demonstrated ability to find original angles on stories the entire world is watching.
• The metabolism to deliver a steady cadence of quick-turn news while advancing enterprise work.
• The persistence and skill required to unearth fresh, high-stakes stories through aggressive sourcing and document mining.
• A collaborative spirit and a desire to partner with visual, data, and investigative teams to win on the biggest stories.
• Excellent communication skills to liaise with colleagues in other offices and time zones.

To apply, please submit a resume and a cover letter explaining how your skills, experience and interests align with the expectations of the role by June 19th.
