About Us
The Corporate Systems team manages and supports Morningstar's Corporate platforms used globally across the organization encompassing product, marketing, sales, client service, finance and employee productivity tools. We are responsible for day to day support and improved operational and tactical efficiencies for Morningstar employees in the platforms and technologies they use to effectively market, sell, provide service and collect revenue for our products.
We are implementing an enterprise-wide content authoring and storage system for our structured and taxonomized written and digital content, which supports our collective need to re-use content components throughout the Morningstar 'content universe' in multiple products and platforms (while protecting sensitive or regulated content as applicable). In other words - it is a headless CMS that streamlines our report and article writing process. This tool will be a 3rd party SaaS solution.
We follow a hybrid policy in which we require individuals to be onsite in our Toronto office 3 days a week.
