US News seeks investing writer

The Money team at U.S. News & World Report is seeking a talented writer to create content for new college savings research and data projects with a specific focus on 529 plans. We’re looking for a flexible individual able to research, write and edit detailed descriptions of individual plans, as well as educational content associated with college saving investment products.

The ideal candidate will have a background in education, finance or business journalism, and experience writing for both sophisticated users of college savings plans (think financial advisors) and new parents exploring their savings options for the first time.

Digital media experience is a plus, as is an ability to learn and effectively use multiple online content management systems.

This is a part-time or full-time contract position (or independent contractor/freelancer if circumstances permit), with hourly rates determined by experience. Please send a resume, cover letter and three appropriate writing samples to nycujobs@usnews.com.
