Insider seeks a millennial investing reporter

Insider is looking for a full-time Millennial Investing reporter to help grow our Markets Insider site.

Markets Insider is a global real-time markets data destination that has recently celebrated its fourth birthday. We’ve grown a lot in that time, and we’re looking for the right reporter to help us continue that growth in a new and exciting way.

The ideal candidate is someone who reads the WallStreetBets subreddit for fun, and is fascinated by the day-trader movement that’s disrupting the entire market. If you breathlessly keep up on the latest meme stocks and are familiar with how young traders transact advice and ideas online, you could be the perfect person to guide us through a post-GameStop world.

We want someone with their finger on the pulse of millennial trading culture: the online forums they frequent, their investing behavior, the Robinhood-style brokerages they use, and the influence they wield over the broader market. This role will involve staying on the cutting edge of millennial and Gen Z investing trends.

The Ideal Candidate:

  • Gets excited by the new generation of investors transforming the market
  • Is intrigued by the exciting, playful online subculture surrounding millennial investing
  • Wants to know how millennials are transacting their money — what they’re doing with it, and through what mediums
  • Understands how the levers of the market are connected
  • Is a self-starter with a focus on constant self-improvement
  • Works at lightning speed
  • Has impeccable writing and editing skills
  • Has experience as a reporter on a business or markets beat

The salary range for this position is $65,000 to $80,000. Compensation for the role will depend on a number of factors, including a candidate’s qualifications, skills, competencies, and experience and may fall outside of the range shown. Insider offers a competitive total rewards package, which includes a 401k match, healthcare coverage, and a broad range of other benefits.

Are you passionate about this opportunity, but worried that you don’t have 100% of the experience we’re looking for? We still want to hear from you! Apply online and let us know why you would make a great addition to the Insider community.
