Insider seeks a reporter to cover millennial investing

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
