If you're a personal finance expert with serious writing or journalism chops, a creative streak, and a passion for financial literacy, this one's for you.

Finder is looking for a high-energy, detail-oriented editor, or an up-and-coming writer ready to grow into one. You will be the driving force behind our banking vertical and mission to demystify personal finance. This is a unique opportunity to help everyday consumers make smarter financial decisions by producing the most relevant, authoritative, and engaging content in the UK market.

You will drive content quality, topic relevance, and reader engagement across fintech, current accounts, savings, business and children's banking, while occasionally overseeing mortgages, credit, and insurance. This role focuses on building and improving comprehensive reviews, guides, and "best" lists. You will be a fierce advocate for expertise, authority, and trust, ensuring all content exceeds competitor standards and digital best practices.

Crucially, you will act as our primary financial expert, building a powerful personal brand to become a sought-after voice for journalists and a relied-upon source for authoritative commentary on the UK banking and fintech sector.
