• Manage the News Cycle: Assign, shape, and edit quick analytical takes and strong ideas off breaking market news, meeting urgent deadlines.
• Maintain Industry Expertise: Stay deeply familiar with major asset managers, fund flows, index providers, and U.S. market trends.

You Have:

• At least five years of experience working as an editor, reporter, or analyst covering asset management, funds, or retail investing, or experience in financial services with a demonstrated ability to edit clearly and concisely.
• A strong understanding of asset allocation, fund mechanics, ETF structures, and portfolio theory.
• Experience conceptualizing enterprise features or fund analysis.
• Sharp, accurate deadline editing skills and the capability to deliver timely analysis—or an interesting angle—in clear and simple language.
• A collaborative, diplomatic approach and confidence in making fast, well-thought-out decisions while remaining calm under pressure.
