Content Editor

Responsibilities

• Lead the Central Solutions and Institutional content beats—from idea sourcing and editorial greenlight, to drafting, review, publication, amplification, and post-publication reporting to feed future improvements.
• Build and sustain working relationships with various subject matter experts.
• Lead publication of thought leadership across formats: market and economic commentary, white papers, blogs, videos, graphics, executive bylines, and content supporting the firm’s quarterly webinar program and live events.
• Write, edit, and lead production of collateral that supports these businesses — one-pagers, capability overviews, presentation content, and materials that support prospect and client conversations.
• Write the brief as often as you work from one. This role defines what a piece is trying to do, not just how it reads.
• Translate technical investment and fiduciary concepts into writing that is clear without being simplified, and authoritative without being stiff.
• Own the production and review process end to end: when necessary collaborate with design and video production resources, traffic work through stakeholder and compliance review to completion.
• Partner with the Head of Content to maintain the firmwide content calendar, ensuring Central Solutions and Institutional work is visible, sequenced, and planned far enough ahead to be produced well.
• Contribute to firmwide content work outside the primary beats as team priorities require.
• Edit and proof to Cerity Partners voice and AP style, and hold that standard on other people’s drafts as well as your own.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree
• 4+ years of content creation experience, with a portfolio of published work, weighted toward written content, with demonstrated experience in visual media.
• Demonstrated experience producing substantive content by working through subject matter experts — interviewing, synthesizing, drafting, and getting a busy senior person to engage and stay engaged
• Working literacy in investments and capital markets: able to read a capital markets outlook deck, timely market commentary, or an investment committee insight and know what matters in it
• Excellent organizational and project management skills, with the ability to run multiple pieces at different stages simultaneously
• Experience collaborating across marketing, legal/compliance, and internal business teams in a matrixed organization

Preferred

• Experience in financial services. Strong generalists will be considered, but candidates without financial experience should expect to demonstrate their comfort with this subject matter in the interview process.
• Experience in a regulated industry where legal and compliance review is part of the publishing process
• Exposure to institutional audiences — nonprofits, endowments and foundations, retirement plan sponsors, or the consultants who advise them
• Familiarity with content management systems, workflow tools, and content analytics
• Experience working with, and getting the most out of, AI content generation

• 401(k) savings and investment plan options with 4% match
