Your role in helping us shape the future:

In this position, you will be an integral part of the Credit Cards and Loans teams. As the person responsible for publishing content to the site, being meticulous and detail-oriented should be second nature for you. You should also be someone who remains calm under pressure and is able to effortlessly change gears when more pressing issues arise.

To thrive in this role you need to be able to work in a team setting and possess top-notch communication skills. The digital producer is often at the end of the workflow, so letting others know when you have completed a task or that an issue has come up is essential to the success of the entire team.

Are you up to the challenge?

You will be working in a fast-paced journalism environment where you will be depended on to help staff troubleshoot a variety of technical issues, select photos for editorial content and make frequent updates to product pages. Your ability to solve problems quickly and juggle myriad responsibilities will be crucial to ensuring the team meets its goals. As part of the job, you'll:

  • Produce Credit Cards and Loans articles and slideshows
