Added 2024-05-09 18:44:28 +0000 UTCCOMPANY/PUBLICATION: APEX SYSTEMS
Apex Systems is looking for a talented contract writer/editor to support our clients trading articles team.
CANDIDATES MUST ALREADY HAVE:
A minimum of 7 to 10 years in markets/business journalism experience. Your published work samples will show you’ve written regularly about market events, trading/investing strategies and a range of asset classes with an easy, inviting style that can be understood by any reader.
News savvy. You pay daily attention to corporate, economic, geopolitical, social and consumer trends that can move markets. You read widely, build source relationships easily and continually bookmark ideas to fuel new articles and keep existing high-performing content current.
An interest in personal finance. You see the rich story territory between trading/investing education and how those readers can better meet their financial goals.
Remote team skills. You understand remote work, self-publishing technology and what it's like to work with teammates working from anywhere.
YOU’LL BE PRODUCING:
Definitive, timely content for traders and investors. You'll join a markets-focused team that delivers both breaking coverage and fresh, topical content that explains what's trading and how to trade it using our client's advanced tools. You'll also help update existing high-performing content as needed.
SKILLS YOU’LL NEED:
Deadline-writing experience. You'll be producing new stories every week that will be ready to go to our editing desk after a single review from a source editor and then on to compliance approvals. We’re realistic about complexity and know some articles may take longer to complete for many reasons—but writers need to be ready to turn in clean, readable and error-free copy sometimes in hours or days, not weeks.
Respect for style. We toggle between the AP Stylebook and our Clients internal style manual in producing content, and you’ll receive both on your first day.
Great headline, caption and social media writing skills. Your ability to write smart, eye-catching headlines, chart captions, callouts, social media posts and related metadata make all the difference in our search rankings.
CMS familiarity. Most organizations have a bespoke content management system and each is a little different.
Enterprise software skills. Facility—if not expertise—in the Microsoft Office suite is necessary for this role for basic communication and copy creation.
