Job Description:

Morningstar’s mission is to empower investor success. We strive to illuminate investing in support of this mission, so we can reach and inspire current and future investors. We’re looking for a strong editor and strategist to join our team. You’ll contribute in a major way to the evolution of our global editorial group.

In this role, you’ll be a part of the global audience team focused on driving audience growth through onsite content experiences, email newsletters, and third-party platforms. You’ll help connect people with our investing ideas, markets coverage, and personal finance tips on global Morningstar sites and through off-platform distribution.

We’re looking for someone who will:

1. Drive audience growth through onsite content lineups, email newsletters, and third-party platforms.
2. Develop and publish daily content lineups for our editorial experiences in Benelux, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, along with a regional Europe website. Make intra-day updates for breaking news when appropriate.
3. Coordinate the sharing of content between country site editors and help the team execute the global content strategy in the day-to-day.
4. Collaborate with U.S. and Canada engagement editors to pitch Europe-focused content relevant in those markets and accept story pitches for Europe. Contribute pre-market updates to Morningstar.com in the U.S. when needed.
5. Develop understanding of audience topics for each site and represent the reader perspective during editorial planning sessions.
6. Oversee content performance throughout the day and adjust lineups accordingly using news judgment, Morningstar priorities, traffic data, and headline testing capabilities.
7. Be aware of the top stories driving the market and evaluate how best to tap into the investing conversation of the day including evaluating newswire stories.
8. Use news judgment and SEO skills to test headlines and tweak content both before and after publishing.

Experience we’d like to see:

1. 8+ years of experience in content strategy or journalism, preferably with a prominent digital news organization. Time spent working in investing news or with a financial services organization is a plus as is experience working for a global organization.
2. Experience with investing for yourself and interest in the topic is preferred.
3. Experience with tools like Fathom Analytics, Google Analytics, ChartBeat, Parse.ly, FeedOtter, and ARC Publishing.
4. Hands-on experience writing effective headlines.
5. A strong understanding of search engine optimization practices.
6. Superb communication skills, both verbal and written.
7. Fluency in French, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, or Swedish would be an asset.
8. Demonstrated ability to work with designers, developers, editors, and subject-matter experts.
9. Excellent organization and attention to detail.
10. Experience with AP Style.

Morningstar’s hybrid work environment gives you the opportunity to work remotely and collaborate in-person each week. We’ve found that we’re at our best when we’re purposely together on a regular basis, at least three days each week. A range of other benefits are also available to enhance flexibility as needs change. No matter where you are, you’ll have tools and resources to engage meaningfully with your global colleagues.
