Investopedia seeks a senior insurance editor

As a Senior Editor of Insurance Product Reviews, you will assign and edit product reviews, comparisons, and “best of” lists of consumer and small business insurance products.

The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of insurance products—especially life insurance and Medicare—and have demonstrated experience creating reviews of insurance companies, as well as of comparative ratings and “top” lists of various insurance products. Such products include life insurance, health insurance, Medicare, travel insurance, home warranties, and commercial insurance.

About Your Contributions

  • Function as subject-matter expert for insurance.
  • Work with SEO team members and tools to identify new content opportunities and improvements for existing content in our insurance-reviews corpus.
  • Source and on-board high-quality new freelance writers as needed, sending out paperwork and approving monthly invoices.
  • Assign, edit, and publish new reviews and top lists of financial institutions and products.

About You 

  • 5+ years of experience editing personal finance content.
  • 3+ years of experience writing or editing insurance content, in particular, editing life insurance content.
  • 1+ years of experience publishing financial product reviews and recommendations, ideally on insurance products.
  • Experience developing and executing methodologies for evaluating financial products.
  • Strong editorial skills and keen sense of how to develop content that serves a targeted reader needs.
  • Demonstrated experience working with staff and freelance editors and writers to create great content at scale.
  • Excellent project management skills, attention to detail, ability to multitask, and verbal/written communication skills.
  • Self-starter who can develop scrappy solutions to solve challenges impeding your roadmap.
  • Strong desire to help make people smarter in their financial lives.
