Position: Reporter/Producer, Money.com
Location: New York, NY
The Reporter/Producer will cover the investing beat and other personal finance topics for Money.com, a fast-growing personal finance site that launched last June and is the digital arm of Money magazine. The reporter/producer will pitch, report and write stories for the web on a daily basis that help people understand what’s happening and make better financial decisions. Outstanding research and writing skills are required.
You will:
Pitch ideas daily on investing and personal finance topics
Come to know the investing beat backwards and forwards—from reporting on individual stocks and funds to investment strategy

You are:
A multitasker: People who’ve worked with you before would say you have grace under pressure. You’re used to managing multiple projects and deadlines – either in an internship or job – while still being precise. You can easily work at a volume of 1 to 2 reported stories per day.
An ideas person: You are naturally creative and enjoy brainstorming. When you look at a story in the headlines, you can see 5 more angles to cover in it. You also think bigger: packages, franchises, partnerships and more.
A dogged reporter: You’re eager to sink your teeth into a beat, develop sources, and ply those sources for unique stories that haven’t been covered before. You find yourself thinking of new angles for old stories and consider yourself a natural skeptic – someone who’s always thinking, “What’s this person’s agenda?”
An investing whiz—or you want to be. You’ve had experience on the investment beat through a job or internship, or have a significant personal interest in the topic. Money doesn’t just simply report on the news, we put it into context of how people should respond. You know you have the ability to create an authoritative voice that will tell people what they need to do to achieve financial security.
