Managing Editor, Financial Adviser IQ

Money-Media, a Financial Times unit, is looking for a managing editor to lead its daily online publication covering the financial advisor industry. Financial Advisor IQ covers broker-dealers, registered investment advisors (RIAs), other firms and professionals who work with investors to build financial plans. We reach more than 100,000 industry practitioners and executives each day, and are in growth mode. We provide advisors news and insights to help them do their jobs better, focusing on what it takes to build a practice, attract and retaining clients and, of course, manage money. You will lead a team of journalists and help shape coverage in vetting pitches and assigning stories, coming up with ideas for investigative projects and data visualization pieces, videos and coaching and editing reporters. This is a great opportunity to put your stamp on a title with an enthusiastic team at a well-established, stable and profitable company with entrepreneurial spirit. This role requires good organizational skills, attention to detail, a judicious editing eye, sharp writing style, ability to break news and skill needed to develop a broad source network. The managing editor will oversee an associate editor, to beat reporters and a data visualization reporter and freelancers. The managing editor is responsible for pushing through product improvements based on planned upgrades and ongoing market feedback. We expect the managing editor to work with the group managing editor and be engaged with the business side of the publication as an enthusiastic source of ideas and suggestions for growing the title’s reach and profitability.
