Overview

Moneyfacts Group plc is the UK’s leading provider of retail financial product data and has been pioneering financial comparison technology for over 35 years. 

Moneyfacts' data is used by virtually every bank and building society in the UK, the Bank of England, Financial Conduct Authority, Financial Ombudsman Service, HM Treasury, Prudential Regulatory Authority and UK Finance.

INTEREST is a new digital publication from Moneyfacts, using our data, intelligent, impartial editorial and graphs to inform readers about what is going on with interest rates to make interest interesting.

INTEREST is published every six weeks, to fit in with MPC meetings. It focuses specifically on inflation and rate setting, an under studied subject. INTEREST seeks to identify the effects, positive or negative, interest rates have on the economy.

 

The Role

This is an exciting opportunity to take the lead as Editor & Lead Writer for INTEREST.

We are looking for a talented writer or journalist with a background in mathematics, statistics and financial data collection, who can develop a largely neglected subject.

  • Work with Data and Design teams to incorporate appropriate charts and graphics to complement and enhance the written copy
  • Monitor and maintain a keen interest in economics news and events
  • Propose stories and ideas for inclusion in the publication
  • Attend regular editorial meetings at Norwich offices

 

Experience & Skills

  • Educated to Degree level, ideally in Mathematics or similar subject
  • Previous experience working as a writer or journalist in financial services
  • Ability to work with data
  • Experience with financial data collection
  • Keen interest in current affairs
  • Ability to analyse historical data and identify trends
  • In depth knowledge and understanding of the role of the Bank of England in UK monetary policy.
