We are seeking a talented and experienced Chief News Editor to join our team and contribute to our goal of creating the most informative sites in this vertical.
As our Chief News Editor, you'll be covering breaking news, market trends, and emerging technologies, while working closely with our editorial team to ensure all content is accurate, timely, and meets editorial standards. You will be responsible for creating and publishing original news content related to technology for one of our biggest brands.
We especially are looking for someone who can demonstrate a depth of experience in both building and managing news teams. You will have an eye for detail but also an ability to strategize and implement solutions as required as you monitor the sites’ key performance indicators.
Integrating multimedia and social channels into our news operations is an important part of the job, as well as hiring new talent and training existing staff, all to be achieved while aligning with the commercial imperatives of the company. Videos, podcasts, and events are also areas the company is keen to develop further, so expertise in these areas is helpful but not essential.

In addition to covering the daily news cycle, our sites provide insight, reviews guides and other educational content for individuals and institutions looking to stay up-to-date with the rapidly evolving world of fintech, from blockchain to ChatGPT.
