Investment Marketing Writer
Valley Forge, PA
Vanguard, one of the world's leading investment management companies, needs a creative,
disciplined writer to develop and produce a range of investment and marketing communications,
in a variety of different media including print and electronic channels. You should
be able to tailor your writing to various audiences, such as sophisticated investment
professionals, financial advisors, and individual investors.
You'll independently research and write original materials. You should be able to
work with your creative team and internal clients to develop "out-of-the-box"
ideas as needed. In all cases, your copy should reflect an in-depth knowledge of
Vanguard funds and services, investment concepts, the competitive landscape, Vanguard's
established brand identity guidelines and style, and an understanding of the target
audience.
You'll follow established creative timelines for completing drafts, reviewing copy
with clients, and negotiating and implementing edits. Through this process, you
should display a professional and flexible attitude that assures the highest level
of quality and accuracy. You'll work with your team and your clients to ensure that
all internal and external vendor deadlines are met. You may also mentor less experienced
writers by providing specific feedback on their copy, story ideas, and interviewing
skills.
Position Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in English, Journalism, Communications, or Technical
Writing. CFA or CFP credentials are a plus, though not required.
Minimum of five years of related experience writing investment or marketing
communications or in investment research and management, with demonstrated excellence
in writing.
