  • Draft & Refine: Write high-quality articles that follow Associated Press (AP) and Benzinga style guidelines.
  • Fact-Check: Ensure every piece of content is accurate, credible, and legally sound.
  • SEO & Headline Strategy: Craft compelling, search-optimized headlines and structure content to maximize discoverability and reader engagement.
  • Market Fluency: Apply a strong understanding of financial markets, equities, and macro trends to contextualize news for investors.
  • Collaborate: Brainstorm fresh, creative content ideas with the team alongside value additive exclusives and interviews to keep our audience engaged.
  • Analyze Performance: Use data and analytics to understand what resonates with readers and help increase retention

Requirements For The Role

  • Experience: 3+ years of documented news reporting or writing experience.
