About the role
Morningstar is seeking a highly-qualified editor to oversee Morningstar’s Japan Editorial edition.
About Morningstar Editorial Team
Morningstar is one of the most trusted brands for investing data, analysis and information delivered to individual investors, advisors, and industry professionals around the globe. The mission of the Editorial team at Morningstar is to help investors meet their financial goals, and our coverage of investing and the markets is through that lens. That means putting the day-to-day noise of the markets and investing into context while informing investors about the news, trends and opportunities that are critical to making smart decisions.
The Role
For this critical role, the successful candidate will help Morningstar deliver engaging, high-quality and informative articles to Japan readers. You will produce a mix of data-driven articles, videos, breaking news, and commentary to the Morningstar Japan website. The coverage universe for our team includes stocks and bonds, funds and ETFs, economic news and monetary and fiscal policy.
The role requires in-depth knowledge of the markets and investing along with meaningful editing experience. Along with this base of knowledge, we’re looking for an editor with a real passion for the subject matter, who is energized by the market’s ups and downs and thrives in a deadline-driven environment. Experience with data visualization, and how it can inform and improve compelling stories for investors and readers, is a significant plus.
This role also requires coordinating with our European and US teams, and supporting our regional Asia edition.
The ideal candidate is self-motivated, used to working autonomously, has a strong work ethic, high standards and a commitment to delivering engaging, well-crafted articles to readers. Collaboration and teamwork are integral to our process. We’re also looking a quick learner who can integrate our style and focus into their editing process.
Responsibilities:
•
Grow engagement with Morningstar’s Japanese editorial coverage and website
•
Edit and publish a regular flow of data-driven articles, videos, news and analysis to Morningstar’s Japan website.
•
Monitor US and European Morningstar websites for articles of interest to Japanese investors, including analyst coverage of stocks, ETFs and mutual funds available for purchase in Japan.
•
Manage the programming and lineups of the Japan and Asia regional websites.
•
Work with a global team of journalists to develop and fine-tune engaging stories about markets and investing.
•
Ensure that all articles meet Morningstar’s high standards for quality and clarity.
•
Incorporate SEO best practices into our articles.
•
Write clear and engaging headlines.
•
Be an editor of 1 (for now)
•
Coordinate with equity research and manager research to develop articles on upcoming longer reports.
•
Monitor market trends of importance to Japanese investors and coordinate with research teams around potential articles.
Requirement/Qualifications:
•
Minimum of 10 years of experience editing and writing investing or markets articles.
•
Proficiency in speaking and writing/reading in English
•
Proven ability to shape a compelling lede, succinct conclusion, and overall story structure that best conveys information to readers.
•
Proven ability to multitask and prioritize copy flow under time pressure, and manage competing demands from team members and editors.
•
Experience editing stories on deadline, at speed, without sacrificing high editorial standards.
•
Confidence in adopting new technologies into daily workflow and interest in innovation.
Nice to have:
•
Experience in leveraging financial data platforms (e.g. Morningstar, Factset, Bloomberg) as part of the editorial process.
•
Familiarity with Morningstar research and data
•
Comfort with Excel.
•
Experience of working in a large organization with multiple teams and reporting lines.
•
Experience working with teams where for some members, English is not the first language.
