Job Description
Managing Editor
Ratehub.ca
• Own the end-to-end editorial process, ensuring every piece of content meets MoneySense’s high standards for accuracy, independence, and authority. • Rethink the editorial calendar to reflect shifts in consumer behavior, prioritizing high-value, expert-led content that goes beyond simple search queries. • Recruit, brief, and manage a roster of freelance contributors and vetted financial professionals (CFPs, tax experts, etc.) for quotes, columns, and the "Ask MoneySense" franchise. • Assign and edit content optimized for both traditional search (SEO) and generative engines (GEO), prioritizing proprietary data, original reporting, and expert insight that AI cannot replicate. • Produce data-led stories by combining Canadian public datasets (StatsCan, CMHC, Bank of Canada) with Ratehub’s proprietary data to generate unique financial insights. • Lead reactive coverage for major financial events (e.g., Bank of Canada rate decisions), ensuring expert-led analysis is published and distributed within hours of an announcement. • Develop reporting formats that feature real Canadians and expert commentary (e.g., financial profiles and annotated case studies) that go deeper than anything AI can generate. • Manage the update cycle for "Best of" guides and cornerstone content to ensure they remain accurate, competitive, and relevant for readers. • Monitor performance metrics across Google Analytics, SEMrush, and other tools to identify shifts in how readers discover and interact with our content. • Use data insights to optimize content, improving discoverability and the reader journey from first touchpoint to financial decision. • Guide social media and newsletter distribution strategies, ensuring content is packaged effectively to drive audience retention and direct engagement. • Oversee digital publishing workflows to ensure content is formatted and distributed in adherence to brand standards across all platforms. • Work with product and engineering on interactive tools and content experiences that create reasons to visit and return to MoneySense.ca. • Collaborate with sales on branded content and sponsorship packages while maintaining editorial independence.
