We are seeking a freelance editor with a background in editing news and/or educational content in the trading/investing/markets space.

  • You should be able to navigate complicated topics and present them in a way that is understandable for a lay audience while providing useful next steps for people from all backgrounds.
  • Depending on the topic, these articles will be 500-1000+ words in length and edited according to Investopedia style and format. That means including fact checked, cited documentation from original sources for all stories.
  • Owned by Dotdash, Investopedia has a traditional freelance model that pays writers and editors to create content on their own schedule without limiting their ability to work on other projects.

The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of one or more of the specific areas of expertise listed above—and demonstrated experience editing for well-recognized outlets on these topics.

  • 5+ years of experience publishing financial content in well-respected outlets.
  • Strong editorial skills and a keen sense of how to help readers understand trading, investing, and markets.
  • Excellent project management skills, attention to detail, ability to multitask, and verbal/written communication skills.
