Financial Newsletter Writer

Description:

Responsibilities

• Craft informative and entertaining stories to save readers from the clickbait SEO-focused stories that overpopulate the internet.
• Pitch topic ideas, research and ensure the right balance of topics are being covered throughout our various editorial products.
• Collaborate with other members of our content and editing team to craft our flagship daily newsletter.
• Assist in launching new products and help with other initiatives to grow the business.

Who are we looking for?

• Must be able to work Monday to Friday Eastern Standard Time zone hours.
• At least 2-5 years of experience in journalism, financial/business writing, financial services or in a news room setting.
• Someone that can adapt and write in The Average Joe tone (conversational and concise). See our past issues for samples (https://readthejoe.com/newsletter-archive/).
• Strong writing skills (shocking) and a love for writing — because if you hate it, you’re gonna be in for a bad time.
• Ability to break down complex financial topics in a simple and concise way.
• Bonus: Someone with a “voice” or “writing personality” — and isn’t afraid to show it in their writing.
