They’ll also have a voracious appetite for high-level discussions with the most brilliant minds in investing. They’ll have a keen editorial eye for proper story selection and framing. And they’ll possess the drive to deliver high-quality work on a daily basis.

The ideal candidate has:

  • A background in journalism and proven experience covering investing for a business publication
  • Impeccable writing and editing skills
  • Familiarity fielding pitches, helping assign stories, crafting headlines, and meeting deadlines in a multi-tasking environment
  • A self-starter attitude and strong organizational skills
  • The ability to juggle multiple stories while balancing accuracy and speed
