[Hiring] Investing Writer @Simply Wall St

Role Description

Simply Wall St has undergone a significant evolution, moving from a research platform to a Portfolio Command Center. This shift represents a fundamental change in our product and brand, designed to give stock investors the ultimate control room for managing their wealth.

Our Editorial team is how we bring that world to life beyond the product. We do not aim to compete with mainstream financial mastheads on dry “here’s what happened” reporting. Our ambition is to excel on judgment, original framing, and thought leadership that helps everyday investors to understand what it actually means.

We are hiring a writer in a US-aligned time zone to give our coverage a more direct US voice and to sharpen our response time on key US events, earnings, and reader questions. We are open to candidates located in United States, Canada or Latin America.

The throughline for this role is timely depth. You have the breadth to write credibly across industries and markets, the speed to be early on a story, and the research discipline to make a reader feel genuinely informed rather than just updated. Done well, your work helps investors get to the front of where opportunities are forming, not the back of where the news already broke. Layered on top is a commercial instinct. Most of what we publish has a job to do, and you write copy that moves readers to act without losing their trust.

This is a fully remote, full-time role, engaged as an independent contractor, based in the United States, Canada, or Latin America (US-aligned time zones). You will report to the Senior Investment Editor.

Qualifications

• 3 to 5+ years writing about markets, investing, or finance, ideally for a consumer or investor audience.
• Deep US market fluency. You follow the US news cycle closely, understand earnings season, and know what actually moves US stocks.
• An experienced stock investor. You understand fundamental analysis, portfolio management, and how long-term investors think, so you can write credibly for an investing audience.
• Broad knowledge across industries and markets, with the research instinct to go deep quickly on any of them.
• Excellent written English, with a human, personal voice that everyday investors trust.
• Comfortable adopting AI tools to research and produce faster, without letting the writing lose its voice.

Requirements

• A strong, fast writer who can turn a developing story into a well-researched, useful piece on a deadline.
• A talent for finding original, often contrarian angles that stand apart from the mainstream take.
• Able to translate complex investing ideas into accessible, engaging prose that describes rather than prescribes, leaving the decision with the reader.
• Solid SEO and GEO literacy, without writing for the algorithm at the expense of the reader.
• Self-editing and reliable, able to run your own pipeline with light oversight.
• Skilled at crafting conversion copywriting that is naturally woven into the content.

Benefits

• Flexible remote work: work where you're most productive.
• Share Club: cash to invest, a free SWS subscription, and regular sessions to talk stocks with the team.
• L&D fund: we invest in your growth.
• Team events & hackathons: come together and push what's possible.
