We’re a next-generation financial services company and national bank using innovative, mobile-first technology to help our millions of members reach their goals. The industry is going through an unprecedented transformation, and we’re at the forefront. We’re proud to come to work every day knowing that what we do has a direct impact on people’s lives, with our core values guiding us every step of the way. Join us to invest in yourself, your career, and the financial world.

The role

SoFi is looking for an enthusiastic and experienced editor to help produce On the Money, our flagship personal finance newsletter, as well as future newsletters. On the Money cuts through the noise of day-to-day financial news to bring readers a more thoughtful point of view on what’s important to their bottom line.

Reporting to the Deputy Newsletter Editor, the Senior Newsletter Editor will be responsible for editing and writing high quality stories that educate, inform, and inspire our audience. We are a mission-driven team that cares deeply about financial literacy and helping people fulfill their ambitions.

The ideal candidate is a skilled journalist and savvy wordsmith with a nose for news and experience covering the economy, investing, and financial products. You should have top-notch editorial judgment and be able to lead the newsletter team when needed. You should be a resourceful, detail-oriented multi-tasker capable of handling anything from top editing to embracing the technical aspects of assembling a newsletter.

Candidates with at least three years of experience editing for a top-tier news outlet or personal finance newsletter are preferred. This is an FTE position.

What you’ll do

You will help ensure that everything our newsletters publish is well-written, thoughtful, 100% factual, objective, and compelling (with bonus points for funny).

• Edit stories: Support our small but mighty team of writers at every stage (i.e. fact-checking, making structural suggestions, getting into the weeds of a line edit).
• Assign stories: Help identify newsworthy trends and topics, creating assignment briefs and keeping track of the editorial calendar.
• Write stories: Develop expertise on the fly, researching a topic to deliver accurate, polished copy. You will have an opportunity to leverage AI responsibly and creatively to drive story development and accelerate and enhance our workflow.
• Collaborate and cooperate: Putting out a newsletter is a team sport, and you will need to cultivate great relationships with writers, other editors, our compliance team, and cross-functional partners from across the organization. Good news: They’re all great!

Who you are

• A journalist with experience covering personal finance news.
• Passionate about financial literacy and committed to producing excellent work.
• Versed in financial products and services.
• Capable of managing every stage of the editorial process, including collaboration with legal and compliance functions.
• Organized enough to keep multiple projects moving forward simultaneously.
• Comfortable giving and receiving candid, constructive feedback.
• Committed to bringing positivity, empathy, and respect to every interaction.

A note to applicants: If possible, please provide a sample of your best clips in the ‘Website’ application field.
