Want to work for a rapidly growing personal finance website? Then join our editorial team at Times Money Mentor - a website dedicated to offering tips and help on how to manage your everyday finances. 

The website, which is part of The Times and The Sunday Times, is now looking for a money writer/analyst to help bring our stories to life by combining excellent research and analytical skills with a passion for helping readers understand money matters.

You will have a great eye for detail and know how to write accurately and engagingly about complex money products such as credit cards, bank accounts, pensions and investments. 

As part of the role you will be writing and updating new as well as existing content, including looking after our best buys. You will also work towards becoming an expert on various personal finance topics and be able to pitch stories on those matters.

What you will do:

  • Keep our existing content up to date and accurate

  • Write new content

  • Compare and analyse products, including looking after TMM’s Best Buys

  • Become an expert on various personal finance topics including pension, investments and credit cards

  • Use data and SEO to get editorial insights

  • Ensure TMM’s tone of voice is consistent across the site

  • Be part of TMM’s wider strategy

 

This job is for you if

  • You have a minimum of one year working in a similar role

  • You thrive under pressure and can work to tight deadlines while maintaining high standards

  • You’re passionate about the future of digital journalism 

  • You have lots of ideas and the organisational skills to execute them

  • You can work well independently or as part of a team

  • You enjoy keeping up to date with personal finance news and products launched
