About The Position

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 someone who is resourceful and business savvy, able to operate autonomously and manage self-directed assignments with minimal oversight.

Lastly, you will leverage your editorial creativity by producing different types of quality content within guidelines laid out by the Managing Editor.
