MoneyMagpie: content editor, full-time position, but can be part-time. Also open to freelance applicants on a pro-rata basis.

MoneyMagpie is a personal finance site that has been running since 2008. We are growing – and that means we need someone fabulous to be our content editor.

In return, you will get a new role to shape as your own within a loyal, fun, and hardworking team. We aim to make finance fun – and that is reflected in the people we hire. The position is – and always will be – entirely remote. Since 2013, we hve operated as a remote company with people based across the UK and beyond – so it is second nature to us.

• Three to five years’ experience in writing and editing investment and personal finance articles
• Strong project management skills
• An understanding of different media channels in content plans (social, PR, web content etc)
• A proven ability to create content schedules
• Strong research skills
• Confidence with multitasking
• Experience running cross-platform campaigns
• Attention to detail
