• Manage end-to-end editorial workflow as a project coordinator, tracking work in progress and liaising with analyst teams, publications staff, product managers, compliance teams, and technical support to ensure timely delivery to global clients.
• Identify, elevate, and resolve control issues with transparency, maintaining sound judgment on risk and compliance matters in every business decision.

• 6 – 10 years of experience with at least five years of experience creating, editing, or supporting investment or financial analytic content, in roles such as financial research editing, equity research, financial journalism, or compliance and legal operations with an editorial focus.
• Strong familiarity with global financial markets, financial terminology, and ongoing business and investment news.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously under tight deadlines, with strong prioritization and time‑management skills.
• Meticulous attention to detail, with the capacity to consistently apply a broad range of editorial guidelines and compliance procedures.
• Clear and confident communication skills, both written and verbal, with the interpersonal skills to work effectively with demanding internal stakeholders and reach constructive outcomes.

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field.

• Holding a current FINRA Series 16 license is a significant advantage and will be prioritized in the selection process.
