Contract Writer

What you’ll do:
- You’ll be a writer/editor covering daily markets and trading on the Ticker Tape site. But this isn’t just a “daily markets wrap-up” writing job.
- Ticker Tape succeeds not by being all things to all people, but by spotting and producing stories of relevance for our clients and prospects regardless of their experience in trading or investing.
- In today’s news-packed market environment, Ticker Tape readers are looking for ways to learn and improve, and you’ll be essential to that mission.
- In a single day, you could be working on story about options and futures trading strategies for someone who has never executed a trade, what’s behind daily market volatility or how new tax legislation could affect the finances of our most active traders. Ticker Tape is that diverse. We serve a broad and eager audience with endless interesting story possibilities no where they are on their learning curve.
- The best candidate for this job will be an experienced deadline writer and explanatory journalist who knows trading, has already covered the markets and understands the needs of individual investors who want to trade on their own. We need you to deliver the “how” and “why” of any topic so it’s clear to readers at any experience level—always keeping an eye on what they’ll need to know next.
- The job is fully remote, however, there is a slight preference for Chicago-based candidates who can join us back at the office from time to time.
