Job Description
The New York Times is looking for a talented, experienced and versatile reporter to join our International team as a correspondent in the Middle East, with a focus on the Persian Gulf region, Syria and Lebanon.
This is a chance to join a committed team of reporters and editors who have a history of award-winning work, an eagerness to experiment with new and developing story forms, and a passion for bringing Times journalism to a global audience across digital, print and other media.
In this role, likely based in the United Arab Emirates, you will have an opportunity to explore some of the most challenging dynamics driving events in the region including demographics, income inequality and climate change.

The successful candidate will bring energy and keen analytical skills to the coverage as they think about both regional and topical storylines.
We are looking for an entrepreneurial correspondent. In this role, you must be as comfortable reacting to immediate breaking news as you are writing thoughtfully and deeply about events and issues. And above all, you must be collaborative and eager to work with, and learn from, Times colleagues in bureaus around the world.

Hire and manage staff in the bureau; provide direction and feedback to news assistants, freelancers and the bureau manager; proactively ensure that the team is engaged, motivated and that there is regular communication
Collaborate with other reporters in the region during major news moments
Work with colleagues across Photo, Video, Audio and other departments to bring stories to life in a variety of formats across all NYT products
Oversee bureau logistics and operations including leases, equipment, cars, budget reports and any monthly funding requests, approve payroll payments, scheduling / leave of absence requests and general maintenance
Commitment to The New York Times’s strategy, ethics, standards and mission for both themselves, their team, stringers and colleagues
Our ideal candidate:
Proven strong international reporting and writing experience, preferably for a global news organization
Ability to juggle breaking news, smart analysis and ambitious enterprise
Expert understanding of Middle East history and clarity about the intricacies of regional politics
Familiar with the local media with up to date knowledge of appropriate sources
Fluency in Arabic would be preferable
Some experience in and willingness to work in conflict zones
Leadership and management skills; willingness to grow
Proactive problem solver
Thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-oriented environment
Collegial and collaborative behavior; integrity with assignments
Commitment to The New York Times’s strategy, standards and mission
