Money magazine seeks editorial assistant

Money, the nation’s largest personal finance magazine, is seeking a full-time freelance editorial assistant.

The majority (80%) of this position will be editorial work—the responsibilities include following a beat and pitching stories on that topic, writing front-of-book articles, finding real people anecdotes for features, creating data visualizations, helping senior writers with background reporting, and fact checking.

The person will also have the exciting opportunity to work on the launch of a new Money.com website (as Money will be losing its partnership with CNNmoney.com in the Time Inc/Time Warner spinoff).

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 resume, cover letter and clips to Mmagnarelli@moneymail.com.
