*Work from anywhere on the planet! Our HQ is in London but have teams working remotely all over the world.*

We are seeking a talented and experienced Chief News Editor to join our team and contribute to our goal of creating the most informative sites in this vertical.

As our Chief News Editor, you’ll be covering breaking news, market trends, and emerging technologies, while working closely with our editorial team to ensure all content is accurate, timely, and meets editorial standards. You will be responsible for creating and publishing original news content related to technology for one of our biggest brands.

We especially are looking for someone who can demonstrate a depth of experience in both building and managing news teams. You will have an eye for detail but also an ability to strategize and implement solutions as required as you monitor the sites’ key performance indicators.

Integrating multimedia and social channels into our news operations is an important part of the job, as well as hiring new talent and training existing staff, all to be achieved while aligning with the commercial imperatives of the company.

In addition to covering the daily news cycle, our sites provide insight, reviews guides and other educational content for individuals and institutions looking to stay up-to-date with the rapidly evolving world of fintech, from blockchain to ChatGPT.

We’re committed to creating a culture that fosters growth, creativity, and innovation. If you’re passionate about the fintech industries and want to be part of a dynamic and fast-growing team, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.

• Strategy creation and implementation of editorial policies and plans

• Conducting interviews with industry experts and key players in the tech space
• Monitoring, analyzing, and reporting of market trends, news developments, and regulatory changes related to the verticals
• Collaborating with other team members, including editors, writers and designers to produce engaging and informative content

• Manage and build out existing teams, including putting in place training programs for continual professional development.
