It's a really exciting time to join the Reach family. Express.co.uk, the website of the Daily and Sunday Express, is one of the world's Top 10 English language news sites with more than 100 million monthly users and is growing fast. Now we're expanding our City & Business coverage and we're looking for an experienced finance writer to join our dynamic digital team.

 

 

If you live and breathe finance, from global economics and currencies to the latest business and company news, this could be the opportunity for you. The successful candidate will help shape our financial coverage and be responsible for bringing City news to life, delivering compelling, high-quality, original content, driving audience numbers and delivering higher engagement and loyalty.

We help all kinds of people share experiences through our stories because we believe this is what makes us human. Oh, and we should probably also mention that with a monthly readership of 47 million people, Reach is the largest commercial publisher in the UK. At Reach, not only will you feel better understood, you will also feel you understand other people better too.

  • Knowledge and experience of SEO.
  • Able to work to strict deadlines.
  • Able to compile a news list containing engaging city and finance stories on a daily basis.
