Markets & Investing Writer, Investopedia

Job Title

Job Description

I. Job Summary | Major goals and objectives

Investopedia News is seeking a writer to cover markets and investing, a sprawling beat that’s vital to our ability to serve our smart and engaged readership of everyday investors. 

We’re looking for someone who gets up each day eager to find interesting stories about money, markets and investing. You will cover topics including:

• Market movements–in stocks and indexes, funds, commodities, crypto and beyond–and what they mean and why they matter 

• The big and obvious, as well as the small (or hidden) and important 

• The concepts, terms and themes investors are wrestling with and how to understand them 

• The people and ideas that matter–what they’re doing and why they’re interesting

• Advice and tips to help people navigate complicated times

On a given day, you might write news, analysis or features–or contribute to our daily markets blog. Your ideas might come from data on a screen, corporate announcements, a conversation with a source, published research, or your own curiosity. 

Some days, you might turn in several pieces. Other times, you might be working on a longer-term feature or something in between. You could produce articles, pieces based largely on charts, Q&As–or even things we haven’t thought of yet. 

We’re looking for a clean, clear, accurate and reader-focused writer with piles of ideas and high ethical standards. Finally and most importantly, you’ll value teamwork, collaboration and collegiality. We love this stuff and we’re looking for someone who does too. 

II. Essential Job Functions

Reporting: Cover breaking news, trends, and relevant events in markets, money and investing with speed and accuracy, developing and using a broad range of sources.
Writing: Write engaging articles and headlines that adhere to the Investopedia style and journalistic principles, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and comprehensibility.
Research and Analysis: Analyze financial reports, data releases, market data and economic indicators to produce content with insights that help readers make informed decisions.
Teamwork: You will coordinate with other members of the team to cover the stories that are most relevant to our readers, perhaps occasionally including stories not directly related to markets. A broad interest in financial topics is essential.

III. Minimum Qualifications and Job Requirements | All must be met to be considered.

• 5+ years writing and reporting experience at a high-output publication where financial news and information is central to its mission
