The Wall Street Journal is looking for an experienced, enterprising journalist to drive coverage of a Southeast Asia region brimming with stories that speak to some of the most pressing issues of our time, from great power competition to international crime, from the cost of clean energy to the future of democracy.
Shifting supply chains are creating new opportunities across Southeast Asia's vibrant economies, but demographic trends and geopolitical upheaval bring new challenges.
