Role Overview:
As a Lead Writer / Content Strategist II, you will produce top-notch, data-driven content that empowers Canadians to make informed personal finance choices, particularly regarding credit cards. This position combines editorial excellence with strategic insight, focusing on identifying content gaps, optimizing existing materials, and creating innovative formats to engage audiences effectively. Your work will enhance NerdWallet Canada’s expertise, improve content performance, and broaden our audience through compelling, audience-first storytelling.
In this senior individual contributor role, you will be a thought leader, merging strong editorial judgment with a strategic, audience-centric approach.

Key Responsibilities:
Identify content gaps and optimization opportunities using performance data and strategic priorities; propose and create new articles to fill those gaps.
Research and develop well-sourced, clear, and engaging content focused on Canadian personal finance issues, especially credit cards.
Engage in and create diverse content formats (e.g., articles, newsletters, social media, video) to enhance the audience-first user experience.
Provide editing support, including backreads, copyediting, and line editing, to maintain high editorial standards across team outputs.
Review Canadian credit card products, gather and analyze data, and translate insights into easily digestible comparisons and recommendations for consumers.
