The ME is the day-to-day manager of the financial publication – with input from the Editorial Director, Director of Content Operations and the Executive Editor.

We’re Seeking a Candidate With The Chops To

Harvest the financial insights of the analyst/guru – and “productize” them in a way that creates high-concept content.

But TradeSmith is a true “fintech” firm: The research we sell and the storylines we tell are all based on our own, proprietary analytical tools created by our global development team. The bottom line: We can offer our subscribers the kind of one-stop packages our rivals can’t match.
