Sherman Research is an SEC-registered financial research firm that develops signal-driven research, model portfolios, and technology for financial professionals. The Finance Editor will lead the editing and publishing standards for consumer-facing financial content, ensuring technical research becomes clear, consistent, accurate, and compliance-ready copy across daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly communications.
Responsibilities
- Line and substantive editing on every consumer-facing piece, to publish-ready, on schedule
- One consistent voice across every cadence, channel, and surface
- The style guide. Writing it, enforcing it, revising it when reality disagrees with it
- The editorial calendar and the handoff protocol between the research desk and the writers
- Headlines and subject lines, including the final call on them
- Pushing weak or non-compliant claims back to the desk before compliance ever sees them
- Getting copy through compliance in one round
- Briefing and developing the freelance writers who file into you
Skills
- 5+ years editing professionally, with published finance or markets work you edited rather than wrote
- Proof you can take a technical draft and make it readable without losing the substance. Before-and-after samples are the strongest thing you can send us
- Enough market fluency to interrogate an analyst, though you don't need to be one
- A track record of holding a daily or near-daily publishing rhythm
- Evidence you've owned a voice or style guide across more than one writer
- Comfortable telling a subject-matter expert their draft isn't clear yet
- Prior work inside a compliance or legal review process
- Familiarity with systematic, quantitative, or trend-following strategies
- Newsletter or consumer fintech background, especially at scale
- Experience building an editorial process from nothing
- SEO instinct for the evergreen pieces
Benefits
- The work is async and deadline-driven.
- You manage your own time and hit dates without anyone chasing you.
