NerdWallet, a website and mobile app delivering industry-leading financial guidance, tools and independent reviews, is seeking candidates with strong writing and editing skills for a position as a Content Management Specialist (CMS).
The CMS will work on projects that help maintain and optimize a large library of consumer-focused personal finance articles. You will use your attention to detail and research skills to update, fact check and enhance NerdWallet pages, sometimes working with teammates and sometimes independently, with the goal of ensuring the internet’s best answers for the topics we cover. Projects you may be working on in this position include:
- Launching new coverage areas that require detail-oriented, frequent updates.
- Using search-engine optimization skills to find new content opportunities and to experiment, update, fact check and optimize pages across our Taxes and Investing libraries.
- Ensuring our content is competitive and up-to-date for each tax season and during transitions between tax seasons.
- Independently identifying SEO opportunities, and collaborating with others to execute on their recommendations.
- Working closely with and learning from our subject matter experts, including expert reviewers, and watching news and reacting in real time with content updates.
Where you can make an impact:
- Finding new SEO opportunities for us to test and expand our reach.
- Optimizing our existing content to grow traffic and improve rank.
- Editing new and optimized articles – with the opportunity to occasionally write new articles.
- Fact-checking and updating content and industry data to ensure consumers are getting the latest, most accurate information.
- Enhancing the website through internal linking and other types of search engine optimizations.
You are:
- Adaptable and eager to learn. You may be considered for positions of greater responsibility later on.
- Excellent at prioritization and handling multiple projects at once.
- Resourceful and self-directed. You can tackle anything from story updates to projects with minimal direction, and you consistently deliver polished work.
- Someone with a strong attention to detail. This could be a good role for someone with fact-checking or copy-editing experience.
- Passionate about self-improvement and at ease with constructive feedback that will help you grow.
