Investing Writer

What you'll do
Find and frame the story

Gather information on newsworthy US and global topics for coverage across the Editorial team.

Craft original, often contrarian ideas that distinguish Simply Wall St from run-of-the-mill financial news mastheads.

Deliver with speed on US markets

Respond quickly to US market events, earnings, and time-sensitive matters during US hours, turning them into researched, genuinely useful coverage rather than a rushed reaction.

Act as our on-hours US voice, so we are early and credible on the stories that matter to a US audience.

Write across formats

Write articles, for either Editorial or B2B, covering investing insights, company and economic news, financial products, and more.

Contribute across multiple formats, including The Foxhole, Market Insights, bespoke articles, and emails.

Publish, on average, one Market Insights article every three weeks, alongside a steady flow of other timely pieces.

Weave in Simply Wall St community assets, such as Narratives and Company Reports, that add insight for the reader and link naturally back to the platform.

Optimize for reach without losing voice

Optimize content using best SEO and GEO practices to maximize impressions, clicks, click-through rate, and registrations, while maintaining a human voice and a personal brand that resonates with an audience of everyday investors.

Creative copy that converts

Treat writing as work with a purpose. Most of what we publish has a business goal behind it, from registrations to engagement, and you write to that goal while keeping the reader's trust.

Produce creative, high-converting copy across the business, not only for market coverage. That includes campaign, product, partner, and brand work.

Convert without slipping into hype or promissory language.

Support the Senior Investment Editor directly with content initiatives and production, and work flexibly with teams across the business on an as-needed basis.
