Deputy Editor - Responsible Investor

Deputy Editor – Responsible Investor

We at Responsible Investor (PEI Group) are looking for a Deputy Editor to help lead our award-winning coverage of sustainable finance.

Responsible Investor is widely recognised as the leading source of news and analysis on areas including sustainability regulation and standards, voting and stewardship, nature finance and the ESG backlash.

We help institutional investors keep up to date with and make sense of a rapidly changing environment. We write for a global subscriber base covering asset owners, asset managers, banks, regulators and service providers.

Our team of reporters regularly break global stories and source unique insights from key industry players, thanks to their deep market expertise and connections.

Our approach to journalism is rigorous and selective. We only publish original stories – no press release write-ups or uncritical interviews. We are meticulous about accuracy in content and style.

As Deputy Editor, you will play a key role in maintaining Responsible Investor’s reputation as a source of credible, market‑leading journalism.

You will help the Editor manage our team of reporters and ensure a daily flow of clear, clean, concise copy. Key tasks will include copy‑editing, providing input and feedback on story selection and development, and ensuring timely content delivery and publication.

You will have experience of producing high‑quality, original journalism, a passion for accuracy, and be happy working on a high‑pressure news desk. You will contribute news, features and comment pieces on a regular basis but your priority will be supporting and when required deputising for the Editor.

You will be keen to take on new challenges and responsibilities, get to grips with complex subject matter, and assist with the development of Responsible Investor’s broader product offering across multimedia and events.

The role will suit an experienced financial journalist looking to develop the skills to progress towards an editor position.
