Writer/Editor - The Motley Fool - England

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT

This is a slightly unusual dual role. We require an investing nerd -- a stock market writer who can perform editing duties as well. You'll be based in our offices in central London and report to our Investing Editor. Typically you'll write half a dozen articles a week, but you'll need to roll up your sleeves and get dirty editing as well. On the writing front, you'll primarily be writing about topical stock market news such as the latest results from Tesco or Lloyds Banking Group. But you'll also be expected to write pieces about topics such as investment strategies, asset allocation, retirement investing, funds, commodities, emerging markets and so on. If it's of interest to private investors, then it's fair game for a Foolish article. When it comes to editing, you'll be on the lookout for problems of clarity, logic, grammar, style, and accuracy, helping to ensure compelling, error-free, and Foolish content. Here you'll be working with a team of two dozen or so freelance writers, co-ordinating their articles and ensuring that we always have plenty to fill our regular emails. This position calls for a lot of juggling, so we need someone who is intelligent, very comfortable with numbers, adaptable, patient, meticulous, reliable, and cool under pressure. Past experience working for a website or other publication is useful but not essential. At times, you'll contribute to our discussion boards, edit content for our subscription newsletters and help our PR develop stories that will drive the financial media wild with excitement.

Primary responsibilities/objectives

Write compelling daily investing content for the Fool website
Make substantive edits to articles and newsletter content for clarity, grammar, in-house style and general Foolish tone. Proofread all manner of content.
Use content management and related systems to ensure correct formatting etc.

Core competencies

Attention to detail
Ability to work well in a team-oriented environment
Ability to leap tall buildings and catch typos in a single bound
Willingness and confidence to tear apart an article and put it back together so that it is a better read -- without introducing mistakes in the process
Reading annual reports for fun
Ability to prioritize and organize multiple projects
Ability to work well with Fools at all levels
Ability to roll with the punches -- and give a few, too
Dependability and consistency

Preferred qualities

Experience as a writer and/or editor for website or other publication
Comfort and familiarity with Foolish style/long-term user of the Fool website
Several years (profitable) experience as a private investor
Patience of a saint
Sense of humour
Strong writing skills
Willingness to build better, stronger, Foolish writers
Passion for the Fool's mission

Organisational overview:

The International Network of Street Papers (INSP) is a registered charity which unites and supports street papers sold by homeless vendors and people living in poverty worldwide. INSP is an umbrella organisation, which provides services for its street paper members and advises on the setting up of new street papers and support initiatives for marginalised people.

INSP facilitates communication between its 108 members and believes that experience-exchange, research and campaigning are all vital in tackling issues of poverty and homelessness. Representing a combined annual readership of over 100 million, INSP street papers comprise a powerful independent media movement, speaking from the ground up for a more educated, engaged and equitable global society.

The INSP headquarters are based in Glasgow, Scotland. The small, highly-skilled staff team work closely with its member street papers in some 40 countries to eliminate poverty through enterprising street paper projects.
