What you'll do  We need an organized, detail-oriented Associate Editor who can write well-researched finance-focused stories, sharpen good content into something remarkable, manage our increasingly fast-paced editorial calendar, and keep things moving from idea to publication. In this role, you will:
Manage a daily short-form content calendar, keeping topics and deadlines on track
Brief content topics, with clear direction on audience, angle, and user experience
Write well-researched personal finance content
Edit content, polishing good work until every word tells and it's ready to publish
Fact-check every piece for accuracy before it goes live
Review all content through a reader's eye, making sure it flows as a cohesive whole and every link works
Shape every story for a fun and memorable mobile app experience
Refine editorial practices regularly, adapting to results like user engagement data
Make sure every piece meets our Editorial Style Guide and quality standards
Manage each piece of content end to end, following up until every task is closed
Support stretch projects and cross-functional work as needed
What it's really like working here  We believe in being transparent about what this role entails – both the exciting parts and the challenges.
You’ll wear many hats in a lean startup environment . As a bootstrapped company, we don't have layers of specialized staff. Some days you'll be writing content from scratch; other days you'll be editing, fact-checking, planning the editorial calendar, or repurposing existing content. If you thrive on variety and get energized by tackling different challenges, you'll love it here. If you prefer a highly specialized role with a narrow set of responsibilities, this might not be the right fit.
Quality and consistency are non-negotiable . We're a process-driven company because that's our competitive advantage. You’ll need to follow our Editorial Style Guide and documented processes, and maintain meticulous attention to detail. We don't reinvent the wheel on recurring tasks – we perfect the process once and apply it consistently.
We embrace experimentation and innovation . While we rely on our processes for repeat tasks, we also take on new challenges and are always evolving to respond to a changing content landscape. You’ll need to be ready to try new tools, measure your results, and adapt.
Responsiveness matters deeply .…
