Our CNET team is looking for a versatile editor who can help readers navigate some of life’s most consequential financial decisions — from shopping for a mortgage to applying for a student loan to filing taxes. Are you the go-to resource for friends and family when they’re mulling a big financial decision? Do you make a spreadsheet to compare the pros and cons of different credit cards before signing up? Can you write about complicated financial subjects in a straightforward, engaging way?

In this role, you will work with freelancers and staff writers to write, edit and publish personal finance news, explainers, and reviews, interview experts and explain what current finance trends mean to our readers.

  • Providing compelling buying advice based on research and data-driven analysis
  • Seeking out and interviewing experts in the field
  • Developing, maintaining and optimizing best lists on a regular basis

What We’re Looking For:

  • Top-notch writing skills and the ability to maintain the right tone and voice in our coverage
  • Capacity to approach financial products and services with a curious, yet critical eye and an understanding of the business models underlying them
  • Commitment to helping readers understand financial products and services — and identify which of them are the best for their particular needs
  • At least 3 years of experience in the personal finance space; writing or editing consumer-driven content in the categories of banking, credit cards, mortgages and other money categories.
  • Capacity for working independently and with minimal direction
  • Demonstrated experience with optimizing content for SEO
  • Top-notch project management skills; ability to prioritize and manage multiple deadlines simultaneously
  • Ability to communicate with stakeholders within the wider company
