YOUR ROLE

As a News & Syndication Editor at FinanceBuzz, you'll be responsible for crafting high-quality content that helps our readers make smart personal finance decisions that better their lives. You'll need to be comfortable with a fast-paced, newsroom-style content creation process where you'll be assigning a story, editing, and publishing it all within a few hours time.

The ideal candidate is someone chock full of article ideas (an ideation machine!) who can easily come up with dozens of newsworthy, highly-clickable content ideas each week. Also needed: a knack for writing headlines and selecting photos that grab the reader's attention. You'll review analytics frequently to adjust content strategy on the fly and ensure all content is optimized for distribution and monetization.

• Working closely with writers to help them deliver their best work through constructive feedback and mentoring

• Growing and fostering the FinanceBuzz brand as a top destination for personal finance information and education

• Expertise in creating content for syndication platforms like Apple News, MSN, and Yahoo
