Job Description:
Barron's is seeking an experienced financial editor to collaborate with our stock pickers in producing compelling, well-researched investment analysis. This editor will play a central role in idea generation, working closely with reporters to develop and refine stock picks that are deeply analytical, forward-looking, and actionable for our subscribers. A strong emphasis will be placed on small-cap stocks and short ideas, with the editor helping to assess and clearly communicate the risks and rewards inherent in each investment thesis.
In this role, the editor will ensure each stock pick thoroughly examines all angles of the opportunity - from financial metrics and earnings reports to market positioning and management outlook. The successful candidate will be comfortable interpreting income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements, as well as identifying sector-specific tailwinds, headwinds, and investor sentiment. They will guide reporters in synthesizing complex financial information into clear, accessible narratives that resonate with both seasoned investors and those new to the stock.
The ideal candidate will have a sharp editorial sense, including a grasp of what makes a story compelling to read, as well as experience working closely with reporters to package investment ideas into cohesive, digestible stories. Each piece must connect the dots for the reader, culminating in a clear recommendation - whether to buy or sell - complete with a price target. The editor will also manage ongoing coverage of each pick, helping to craft follow-up updates and timely alerts in response to market developments.
Additionally, the editor will host live Q&A sessions with stock pickers to further engage readers and will assist in editing a weekly investment newsletter. The role involves regular collaboration with news reporters, technical analysts, and fellow editors, and will require fluency in using research tools and data platforms that support idea development and analysis.
This position is based in
