Job Description:

At NerdWallet, we’re on a mission to bring clarity to all of life’s financial decisions and every great mission needs a team of exceptional Nerds. We’ve built an inclusive, flexible, and candid culture where you’re empowered to grow, take smart risks, and be unapologetically yourself (cape optional). Whether remote or in-office, we support how you thrive best. We invest in your well-being, development, and ability to make an impact because when one Nerd levels up, we all do.

The Vertical Expansion Content team is looking for an Editor/Content Strategist II who has wide-ranging subject matter proficiency. This position involves ideating, assigning, and editing content that helps readers make the best financial decisions. Collaboration with team members and cross-functional stakeholders is also an essential part of this role. The Editor/Content Strategist II will also help develop content strategy, investigate innovative content formats, and support the writers and Managing Editor.

In this role, you will serve as the editorial subject matter expert, educating and coaching the team on all things content-related. You are a strong communicator who maintains poise under pressure and thrives in a fast-paced results-driven org. You are someone who is resourceful and business savvy, able to operate autonomously and manage self-directed assignments with minimal oversight. You are a detailed project manager, who can balance evolving — and at times competing — priorities and deadlines, without compromising quality or attention to detail. Lastly, you will leverage your editorial creativity by producing different types of quality content within guidelines laid out by the Managing Editor.

Where you can make an impact:

• Editing: Edit content to ensure it is helpful, engaging, clear, and actionable, while consistently providing effective feedback and coaching to writers to improve quality and meet editorial standards.

• Content Strategy: Supports content strategy and SEO performance by identifying content gaps and optimizations through data analysis and keyword research, pitching and writing.

• Performance Analysis: Analyzes content performance data and communicates insights to stakeholders, demonstrating strong performance management skills and using data to inform editorial decisions.

• Editorial Operations: Assist with content production and operational support, including publishing articles, managing deadlines, assigning planned content, and contribute to audits, reviews, or rubric development as needed.

• Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional stakeholders acting as an editorial subject matter resource and aligning editorial priorities with business-driven needs.

Your experience:

• 5+ years editing for consumer-facing online publications

• Track record of strong line-editing that puts consumers/readers experience at the forefront.

• Excellent communication skills and strong ability to provide constructive feedback to writers and peers.

• Knowledge of SEO best practices or interest in learning

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in homeownership topics, student loans or auto loans

Where:

• This role will be remote (based in the U.S.).

• We believe great work can be done anywhere. No matter where you are based, NerdWallet offers benefits and perks to support the physical, financial, and emotional well being of you and your family.

What we offer:

Work Hard, Stay Balanced (Life’s a series of balancing acts, eh?)

• Industry-leading medical, dental, and vision health care plans for employees and their dependents

• Rejuvenation Policy – Flexible Vacation Time Off + 11 holidays + holiday company shutdown

• New Parent Leave for employees with a newborn child or a child placed with them for adoption or foster care
