CNBC, in partnership with Acorns, is looking for a producer to join an editorial and production team to create actionable, relatable and uplifting personal finance and investing content that inspires and empowers everyday Americans to make informed financial decisions.

The ideal candidate is an idea-generator who is passionate about helping people improve their finances and digging into topics about saving, spending and investing. This producer is an experienced shooter, a talented video editor, a capable interviewer, and a smart script writer. Editorial judgment and reporting experience is necessary.
