Job Description
National Security Reporter (Intelligence & Cybersecurity) – The Wall Street Journal seeks an ambitious reporter to cover the U.S. intelligence community and global cybersecurity threats, based in the Washington bureau.
The ideal candidate should have significant experience covering agencies that deal with the government’s most sensitive secrets, including the CIA, NSA, and ODNI. The ability to bring readers inside the clandestine world of espionage and the technical frontlines of cyber warfare is paramount.

Responsibilities
Break agenda‑setting news on the intelligence and cybersecurity beats.
Conceptualize and deliver deeply reported enterprise stories on clandestine operations and digital threats.
Work with colleagues around the country and the world to track how intelligence and cyber issues impact global markets and geopolitics.
Qualifications
At least five years of reporting experience dominating a highly competitive beat, with a specific track record of sourcing within the intelligence community or the cybersecurity sector.
Deadline skills to report and write clearly on complex technical or classified subjects under pressure.
Proven ability to develop deep‑cover sources and write with authority on what is happening in the “black budget” world and what it means for U.S. security.
A track record of tackling ambitious projects, using data or digital forensics to find original approaches to stories, and working with visuals to explain invisible threats.
A deep understanding of the inner workings of the U.S. intelligence apparatus and the technical landscape of modern cyber conflict.
