- Structure content effectively using headings, summaries, FAQs, tables, lists, and other formats that improve readability and discoverability.
- Refresh and optimize existing content based on organic performance, changing search behavior, and emerging opportunities.
- Work closely with SEO, editorial, product, and other stakeholders to take content from brief to publication.
- Stay current with developments in SEO, AI search, LLMs, and financial content.
Qualifications and Skills:
- 5+ years of professional content writing experience in digital marketing, SEO, or organic content.
- Prior experience writing about finance or financial services is required, ideally across wealth management, investing, personal finance, fintech, or insurance.
- Strong ability to research and explain complex financial topics accurately and in plain English.
