  • Manage the number of page impressions to meet the associated Financial model KPIs 
  • Contribute to an ongoing culture of improvement and innovation, creating and developing processes and concepts which will drive efficiency and effectiveness whilst continuing to ensure that customers are delighted.

  • Demonstrable background in personal finance writing
  • Solid experience of commissioning/editing on a digital brand, national newspaper or magazine
  • A digital-first journalist who can create multi-platform content in line with an overarching brand purpose and tone of voice
  • Exceptional writing and editing skills and a meticulous eye for detail

  • Motivated self-starter who proactively take ownership of goals and delivers results
  • Thrives in a fast-paced, target driven environment and works well under pressure
  • Has a positive “can do” attitude
  • Excellent attention to detail


What's in it for you?

  • The chance to be integral to building a brand new, digital, editorial business unit from scratch 
  • Competitive remuneration packages
  • Pension  
  • Subsidised gym membership
  • Private healthcare
  • Extensive & continual internal & external training and development opportunities
  • Subsidised cafeteria
  • Discounted book store
