Money magazine seeks editorial assistant

Money, the nation’s largest personal finance magazine, and its website Money.com are seeking a full-time freelance editorial assistant.

The majority (80 percent) of this position will be editorial work—the responsibilities include pitching and writing stories for the web and magazine, helping senior writers with background reporting, finding real people anecdotes for features, compiling data for visualizations, and fact checking.

The other 20 percent of the job will involve assisting the magazine’s managing editor with administrative tasks, such as answering phones, making travel arrangements, coordinating his schedule, submitting expense reports, and helping with presentation preparation.

We are looking for a self-starter with strong reporting, interviewing and writing skills, who is also very organized and a multi-tasker. Previous financial journalism experience is preferred. Please send a resume, cover letter, and two clips to mmagnarelli@moneymail.com if interested.
