Job description

WHO IS RATEHUB?

We’re a unique Canadian fintech that is the one-stop shop for all financial needs of the consumer. Save, Spend, Borrow, Invest, and Protect. Every team member—from product & engineering to sales & marketing, finance, operations, and everything in between—focuses on helping Canadians make better financial choices. We serve over 2M Canadians per month using our digital application technology and our award-winning in-house brokerages. Ratehub has multiple businesses including a mortgage brokerage, a life insurance brokerage, home and auto insurance brokerages, mortgage originations and servicing, a Financial Services Marketplace, and a content business across Ratehub and MoneySense. We strive to deliver the best online mortgage experience and personalized options across credit cards, loans, and insurance year-round.

Changing how people make financial choices isn’t easy, but we embrace opportunities and challenges as a team. We are looking for the right people to join us and help lead Ratehub forward to continued growth.

Editor in Chief – MoneySense

The Editor in Chief will shape the next chapter of MoneySense, one of Canada’s most trusted and award-winning personal finance media brands. Since joining Ratehub in 2018, MoneySense has remained editorially independent and focused on expanding its reach and impact.

We’re looking for a leader who can combine editorial excellence with SEO and audience-growth expertise to help more Canadians feel confident in their financial decisions. This role goes beyond editorial: you’ll guide the future of the brand, ensure MoneySense stays commercially viable, strategically aligned, and positioned for long-term growth in a rapidly evolving media landscape.

As Editor in Chief, you’ll set the editorial vision, refine content strategy, and lead a talented team while also shaping how MoneySense continues to thrive as both a trusted resource and a successful business. This is a high-impact opportunity to grow a national brand, shape financial conversations in Canada, and lead MoneySense into its future.
