This role will be based in San Francisco or New York.
LinkedIn is looking for a journalist with a passion for finance news to oversee content on the topic. The beat will involve a mix of financial services industry news, developments in markets and the economy, trends in fintech and helping cultivate the most prominent and knowledgeable voices on these topics. The right candidate is immersed in the beat, preferably has been actively covering it, has strong industry relationships and is entrepreneurial about ways to engage an audience around finance news and views.
This finance-focused editor will join a global team of journalists who help create, curate, cultivate and circulate the professional content that flows through LinkedIn. You will concentrate on sourcing, showcasing and writing about the industry insights that directly add value to finance professionals and those whose work intersects with money. You will have powerful tools at your disposal to achieve this: Your articles will reach the largest collection of professionals ever assembled, your curated topics will reach highly targeted audiences, and the voices you cultivate — from chief investment officers and leading economists to financial advisors and personal finance experts — will find and build audiences eager for their insights.
You will also develop skills to build a career that lasts: how to analyze data; how to leverage a variety of multimedia tools and formats; how to measure and promote your work; and how to achieve excellence on a cross-functional team.
You should have experience editing and/or reporting on finance news and trends, strong news judgment, deep existing relationships in the industry, excellent (and fast) writing skills and, most importantly, an entrepreneurial spirit. The ideal candidate is as interested in shaping a product as shaping a story.
