Markets Writer

This Markets Writer role will be based in New York, NY or Menlo Park, CA joining our growing News team.

The story of money is the story of culture, and Sherwood is the secret weapon for the next generation of investor. Our team strives to make financial news more accessible, entertaining, and relevant by changing the way it is curated, shared, and consumed by the next generation. We already serve tens of millions of readers via our flagship newsletter Snacks; this summer we’ll be expanding and launching a web destination, building on our mission to provide strategies, new perspectives, analysis, in-depth reporting, surprising storytelling, inventive information, and most importantly, context to financial news. We aim to be a 24-hour news team, making real-time decisions based on key events and what our audience cares about.

You're a financial writer who is deeply entrenched in market news. You're driven to dig beneath headlines to understand what company news means for shareholders and the public; how the economy connects to the markets; how tech, social issues, and consumer trends shape business, and what private company innovation means for public markets. We are looking for a specialist to join the team, not a generalist – you should have a vision for all the ways existing coverage underserves modern audiences, and creative ideas on how to break through the noise.

What You’ll Do Day-to-day
As part of the Sherwood Media team, you’ll be on the pulse of the daily financial news cycle. You'll work closely with News editors and writers to pitch, develop, write and refine stand-out financial stories, crafted for our customers, not financiers.
Your core responsibility is researching and writing incisive news stories and analysis to shape Sherwood’s editorial voice, as well as owning recurring features like opinion columns, interviews, and long form reporting.
You’ll help pitch, research and fact check story coverage.
We’ll lean on you to help share and execute experiments and initiatives, finding new, strategic ways to reach customers with helpful, compelling coverage.
You'll help ensure our news products span a balance of perspectives and topics, and uphold Sherwood’s editorial and ethics standards.
Here, you will have the opportunity to transform your career in a dynamic environment that supports excellence and autonomy.
