The role
SoFi is looking for an expert editor to help lead the production of a new personal finance newsletter. Published regularly throughout the week, On the Money cuts through the noise of day-to-day financial news to bring you a more thoughtful point of view on what’s important in this moment – and how it impacts your bottom line.
Reporting to the Senior Managing Editor on the SoFi Content team, the Newsletter Deputy Editor will help lead a team of writers and cross-functional collaborators. We are a mission-driven team that cares deeply about financial literacy and helping people fulfill their ambitions. The ideal candidate is an experienced editor and operator who is equally capable of managing an editorial calendar, helping a writer develop a thesis, and diving into a line edit.
Candidates with at least five years of experience editing for a top-tier newsletter or personal finance content are preferred. This is a full-time contract remote position.
What you’ll do
- Oversee the editorial pipeline: With an eye for what matters most in this financial moment, you will be responsible for assigning, nurturing, and producing high quality stories that educate, inform, and inspire our audience.
- Coach a team: You will support our small but mighty team of writers at every stage (i.e. ideation, developing structure, getting into the weeds of a line edit, etc.).
- Be a force for rigorous quality control: This includes making sure that our content goes deeper than surface level – and that everything we publish is thoughtful, structured, 100% accurate, objective, and compelling (with extra points awarded for funny).
- Collaborate and cooperate: Putting out a newsletter is a team sport, and you will need to cultivate great relationships with writers, other editors, our compliance team, and cross-functional partners from across the organization. Good news: they’re all great!
What you'll need
- Passionate about our mission and committed to producing excellent work.
- An experienced editor who can manage every stage of the editorial process.
- Sufficiently organized to ward off chaos and keep pieces moving forward simultaneously.
- Comfortable giving and receiving candid, constructive feedback.
- Committed to bringing positivity, empathy, and respect to every interaction.
- Bonus points for experience publishing personal finance content, working with financial products and services, and playing nicely with legal and compliance functions.
