Writer
Writers play an essential role in our editorial process at First Quarter Finance, taking each post from an unanswered question to a thoroughly verified resource that our users can rely on.
You must excel in all aspects of writing, have a deep understanding of research best practices, and have the ability to distill complex topics into easy-to-understand content.
Experience writing finance-oriented online content is required. Preference will be given to candidates who are credible experts in personal finance and consumer topics.
We also value writers who bring a user-focused, adaptable mindset to the role.
What we can do for you:
- Offer a rate of $20+ per hour based on your experience and qualifications. Payment is every two weeks, with zero fees and no invoicing required. We also offer pay raises based on performance.
- Offer flexible hours. This is a contract position and doesn't require a set schedule. We do ask that you commit at least 15 hours per week to this role.
- Offer a wide variety of purely editorial topics -- no sponsored or branded content.
- Invite you into a fantastic remote team that has a culture of journalistic integrity and respect for one another.
- Value your contributions. We make sure everything we do is for a purpose and no work goes unappreciated.
- Offer stable work. Founded in 2013, we're hiring to expand, not to replace anyone.
What you can do for us:
- Take new posts from basic outlines to near-perfect. Topics are provided.
- Work closely with our Managing Editor to create content that is the very best on the web for that particular topic.
- Maintain a high standard of efficiency, accuracy, and quality.
- Exhibit an expertise in personal finance and a passion for helping people navigate and improve their financial lives.
- Demonstrate an ability to follow our style guide and standard grammar conventions.
- Be adaptable, curious, and forward-thinking. We're continuously looking for ways to improve and expect Writers to do the same.
- Value open communication and show an ability to receive and respond to feedback.
