Business Writer & Editor - Remote Entry Level
We're looking for an experienced business writer and editor to help produce thoughtful, useful content about finance, entrepreneurship, business strategy, and related topics.
This is not a high-volume content production role. We are looking for someone with strong editorial judgment: a person who can take an idea, interview transcript, research file, rough draft, or AI-generated starting point and determine what is actually worth saying, what is missing, what needs evidence, and how to make the finished product significantly better.
You will work directly with senior professionals to turn experience, opinions, research, and conversations into articles, reports, LinkedIn content, newsletters, and other publications. We care much more about the quality and originality of the finished work than the number of pieces produced.
Write and Edit
Turn interviews, transcripts, notes, research, and rough ideas into clear, engaging business writing. Substantively edit existing drafts for argument, structure, clarity, accuracy, tone, and usefulness. Recognize when a piece is technically correct but still boring, generic, repetitive, poorly supported, or missing a real point of view.
Help develop a consistent voice and style rather than imposing generic corporate writing. Translate complex financial and business concepts into language that professional audiences can understand without oversimplifying them.
Research and Challenge
Research unfamiliar industries and business topics quickly and intelligently. Identify credible sources, statistics, examples, and anecdotes that strengthen an argument. Fact-check claims and question unsupported assumptions. Recognize when additional research is insufficient and the right next step is to interview a subject matter expert.
Push back respectfully when an argument is weak or a topic is not worth publishing.
Develop Ideas
Identify interesting questions, timely developments, and underexplored topics where original perspectives can add value. Work with senior professionals to turn professional experience and recurring conversations into original content. Repurpose strong long-form ideas into social media posts, newsletters, and other formats without simply summarizing the original article.
Use AI Thoughtfully
We use AI to accelerate research, explore ideas, interrogate arguments, analyze information, develop outlines, improve workflows, and get to better answers faster. We do not want someone who simply prompts an AI model to write an article and lightly edits the result.
The explosion of generic AI-generated content makes editorial judgment, original thinking, credible research, and authentic voice more valuable, not less. You should be excited about experimenting with new AI tools while also being highly sensitive to unsupported claims, generic prose, false confidence, and repetition.
Exceptional writing and substantive editing ability. Strong editorial judgment and a clear instinct for what makes business writing interesting and useful. Experience writing, editing, researching, journalism, executive communications, thought leadership, or related work.
The ability to learn unfamiliar business subjects quickly. Strong research and source-evaluation skills. Excellent attention to detail and factual accuracy.
Comfort questioning assumptions and respectfully challenging colleagues. The ability to work independently from incomplete or imperfect instructions. Strong organizational skills and reliability.
Genuine interest in business, entrepreneurship, finance, investing, economics, or related subjects. Fluency with modern AI tools, or a strong desire to become highly proficient with them. Comfort receiving direct feedback and substantially revising your own work.
Prior experience in finance or specific business sectors is helpful but not required. We would rather hire an exceptional editor who is curious about business than a specialist who is only an average writer.
Freelancer looking for more stability or consistent work. Current or former business journalist. Editor or writer at a trade or industry publication. B2B writer or editor from an agency. Executive communications or corporate thought leadership professional. Financial or investment writer. Communications leader looking for a flexible part-time role. Experienced independent writer or editor interested in a long-term relationship.
We care much more about the quality of your work and judgment than about a specific degree or career path.
You will work directly with the people generating the ideas rather than several layers removed from them. You will have access to real business transactions, professionals, industry research, and senior advisors. You will also have considerable freedom to improve how we research, write, edit, and publish.
The role is particularly well suited to an experienced professional who wants substantive work and intellectual variety without necessarily wanting a traditional full-time corporate position.
