You're a strong writer who wants to keep improving and learning new skills.

That's what it takes to thrive at NerdWallet. We've been around since 2009, helping consumers make smart financial decisions. We cover consumer finance -- banking, credit cards, education, health care, insurance, investing, mortgages, personal loans, shopping, small business -- you name it.

We have a content team of 50+ and we're growing.

Our staff writers and editors have worked at outlets such as ABC, Bloomberg, CNN, Dow Jones, ESPN, the LA Times, MarketWatch, MSN, MSN Money, Reuters, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. We also have staff writers who spent years as successful freelancers. What we have in common: We take initiative. We think strategically. We problem solve effectively. We're adaptable. We're highly collaborative.

WHERE YOU CAN MAKE AN IMPACT:

YOU OFFER:

• A strong work ethic
• A strong command of language
• Attention to details
• The ability to work well on your own, as well as in a team setting
• The ability to juggle multiple projects
• Strong work samples in hard news or complex topics. Our work involves understanding complex topics and explaining them conversationally. We will not consider applicants whose experience is concentrated in sports or features unless you've also covered hard news and provide such work samples. Please include links to your work samples along with your cover letter and resume.
