Virtus Investment Partners: Senior Financial Writer – United States

A Senior Financial Writer does far more than put investment ideas into words. This role sits at the intersection of financial markets, investment strategy, and brand communication, helping institutional, high-net-worth, and retail audiences understand complex ideas through clear, credible, and engaging content. For an experienced financial writer who knows how to turn market insight into compelling stories, this opportunity with Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management offers the chance to influence how an established investment firm communicates its expertise.

With responsibility for developing white papers, market commentaries, investment articles, client communications, presentations, and digital content, the position combines financial knowledge with exceptional writing and editorial judgment. The ideal candidate will bring at least five years of relevant experience, strong knowledge of equity and fixed-income markets, creativity, and the ability to collaborate with investment professionals and wealth advisors while maintaining a consistent voice across multiple channels.

The Financial Writer will be responsible for creating a wide range of content that supports the firm’s three different distribution channels (institutional, high-net-worth, and retail) and the firm’s equity and fixed-income investment strategies. This includes creating investment communications, such as white papers, quarterly commentaries, market commentaries, articles, and other ad hoc requests, to support the firm’s brand-building initiatives, investment strategies, wealth advisory business, and distribution activities. Contribution to content may also come in other forms, such as video or audio. The ideal candidate will not only have exceptionally strong writing and editing skills, but will also play a leading role in generating creative ideas, engaging content, and innovative ways to engage the firm’s audience.

Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management is seeking an experienced financial writer (5+ years of experience) to help lead and guide the firm’s content generation and distribution efforts in support of the firm’s overall brand building and marketing efforts for its various distribution channels.
