This is an opportunity to make an impact and play a key role in the growth of a top-50 financial publisher. We are hiring an associate editor to join our team to help drive subscriptions, traffic and advertising at Benzinga. 

At Benzinga, content is king. 

Benzinga combines and makes accessible both the news and the conversation. This hybrid approach allows us to deliver relevant trends and scoop stories that no one else can. We live and breathe Benzinga, and our job is to spread the news like a grass fire and bring you the most engaging content possible.

You will have a direct hand in creating content seen by millions.
