About the position: Wise Publishing is looking for a Sr. Staff Writer who’s equal parts reporter and marketer, someone who knows how to turn timely financial topics into content that engages and converts. This role focuses on creating hybrid content: blending the informative, journalistic tone our readers trust with affiliate partner offers that help them make smarter financial choices. The ideal candidate is a strong writer with a sharp eye for detail, a curiosity about personal finance trends, and a deep respect for the reader. You know how to make a piece of content sing (and sell) without losing its credibility or value. This is a great opportunity for a content writer or journalist looking to deepen their skills in content monetization while staying true to editorial quality and integrity. Responsibilities (What you’ll do): Write and edit daily hybrid articles that blend affiliate marketing content with syndicated news, ensuring a natural and engaging flow. Research and integrate commercial copy from affiliate partners into news stories, maintaining a balance between promotional and informational content. Pitch original story ideas based on current financial news and consumer trends. Stay up-to-date on affiliate offers, ensuring articles reflect the most current information (sign-up bonuses, referral links, etc.). Collaborate with editors to finalize and prepare articles for publication. Replace expired offers or update affiliate mentions based on shifting budgets or priorities. Ensure each article includes a timely “why now” angle and updated contextual framing. Attend weekly team meetings and contribute to broader content strategies. Qualifications (Who you are): A diploma or degree in journalism, communications, marketing, or a related field. 3+ years of experience in digital content writing or journalism. Affiliate marketing experience is a plus. Exceptional writing and editing skills with a focus on clarity, accuracy, and tone. Comfortable using a content management system (CMS); experience with Google Workspace and Mac OS is an asset. Strong knowledge of personal finance and business news — or a passion to learn quickly. Familiarity with SEO fundamentals and digital performance metrics. Able to juggle multiple assignments, respond to editorial feedback, and meet deadlines. More perks and reasons to join: We’re proud to be recognized as a Great Place to Work® for the third year in a row. A hybrid work environment and a beautiful midtown Toronto office for when you want to collaborate in person. A flexible hybrid work environment; most of our team works 1-2 days a week in the office. Top-tier benefits including comprehensive dental/medical/vision as well as Health Spending Account (HSA), telemedical, and wellness program. Quarterly company-wide team outings and events. Free in-office snacks, espresso, and an outdoor patio. A supportive learning environment. Please submit your resume and 3-4 writing samples ( preference for stories in the personal finance space) for consideration in PDF format. We look forward to hearing from you; however, due to the volume of applications, only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted. #J-18808-Ljbffr
