If you're a personal finance expert with serious writing or journalism chops, a creative streak, and a passion for financial literacy, this one's for you.

Finder is looking for a high-energy, detail-oriented editor, or an up-and-coming writer ready to grow into one. You will be the driving force behind our banking vertical and mission to demystify personal finance. This is a unique opportunity to help everyday consumers make smarter financial decisions by producing the most relevant, authoritative, and engaging content in the UK market.

You will drive content quality, topic relevance, and reader engagement across fintech, current accounts, savings, business and children's banking, while occasionally overseeing mortgages, credit, and insurance. This role focuses on building and improving comprehensive reviews, guides, and "best" lists. You will be a fierce advocate for expertise, authority, and trust, ensuring all content exceeds competitor standards and digital best practices.

Positioned at the intersection of fintech and digital media, you will reinforce accuracy and consistency to drive traffic and brand visibility. Your goal is to cement Finder as the go-to resource for financial clarity.

Crucially, you will act as our primary financial expert, building a powerful personal brand to become a sought-after voice for journalists and a relied-upon source for authoritative commentary on the UK banking and fintech sector.

You will collaborate with leading financial brands to develop high-impact, award-winning branded content and strategic partnerships. Our track record includes successful engagements with major industry players such as Monzo, Revolut, Starling, HSBC, Natwest, Barclays, Tide, GoHenry and American Express.

Core Responsibilities

Drive PR & Trends: Serve as a key media spokesperson, providing expert commentary on banking trends and identifying news opportunities for press features
Content Partnerships: Collaborate with leading financial providers and agencies to deliver award-winning, high-impact branded content.
Video & Socials: Work with our inhouse video crew to produce high-impact, expert-led video content for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn to establish Finder as the authoritative voice in the market
Editorial Excellence: Edit and improve articles to meet Finder's style, voice, and tone, aiming to consistently exceed the quality of our competition. Audit and optimise older content to strengthen user intent and ensure our library remains fresh and accurate
Ensure Compliance: Apply deep regulatory knowledge across the banking, credit, and mortgage categories to maintain content safety and integrity
Writer Management: Manage, guide, and provide constructive feedback to freelance writers, fostering a culture of high performance and growth

Requirements

We want a collaborative team player with a bias for action and a passion for writing and communicating. This role is open to writers, deputy editors and editors ready for a position with a deep understanding of the personal finance landscape.

Education: Hold a bachelor's degree in journalism, English, history, marketing or communications, or have commensurate experience in digital publishing
Excellent Writer: Proven digital writing experience with a clear path of progression
Fintech and Personal Finance Passion: A deep, genuine passion for fintech and personal finance. You stay up to date with the latest industry trends, products, and news, and you are driven by a desire to help consumers make smarter, more confident financial decisions
Sharp Researcher: Excellent critical thinking and research skills, with the ability to produce content on complex or unfamiliar financial topics with ease
Meticulous: Keen attention to detail and high quality standards.
