Create, optimize, and manage student loan content to inform and empower readers, using SEO and analytics to improve reach and engagement. | 5+ years editorial experience with 3+ years in personal finance writing, strong writing and communication skills, SEO knowledge, and ability to collaborate cross-functionally. | At NerdWallet, we’re on a mission to bring clarity to all of life’s financial decisions​ and every great mission needs a team of exceptional Nerds. We’ve built an inclusive, flexible, and candid culture where you’re empowered to grow, take smart risks, and be unapologetically yourself (cape optional). Whether remote or in-office, we support how you thrive best. We invest in your well-being, development, and ability to make an impact​ because when one Nerd levels up, we all do. Role Summary The NerdWallet Content team is looking for an experienced writer and content strategist to join our Student Loans team. In this role, you’ll shape NerdWallet’s student loan coverage to help readers make confident, informed decisions. Your work will directly influence how consumers understand, compare, and manage their student loan options. You’ll pitch and produce content that empowers readers to take action, serve as a thought leader by reporting on industry trends, and experiment with new ways to improve key pages. You’ll help shape content strategy, track performance, and explore fresh approaches to reach more people. You bring an ownership mentality and thrive on raising the bar. You’re a versatile reporter who identifies the most important angles, digs for clarity when details are murky, and adds meaningful context. You’re also collaborative, resourceful, and eager to test, learn, and share insights — helping both readers and your teammates succeed. This role reports to the Managing Editor. Where you can make an impact • Review and analyze student loan lenders using NerdWallet’s rubric, transforming complex data into clear, digestible content. • Research, report, and write well-sourced articles and guides that position NerdWallet as the go-to destination for student loan insights. • Use analytics to evaluate student loan content, making improvements that increase reach, engagement, and impact. • Maintain and optimize existing student loan pages so readers always have access to the most accurate and relevant information. • Collaborate with cross-functional partners — from spokespeople to newsletters and app content teams — to ensure borrowers understand how policy and market shifts affect them. • Apply SEO best practices so content is easy to discover. • Track, measure and report on performance, using insights to refine strategy. • Serve as a subject-matter expert, ensuring student loan messaging across NerdWallet is consistent, accurate, and consumer-focused. Your experience We know not everyone will meet every requirement. If you meet most of the criteria and are excited about the opportunity, we encourage you to apply. • 5+ years of editorial experience, with at least 3 years writing about personal finance, ideally student loans. • Track record of thought leadership with an ownership mentality and ability to take informed risks. • Excellent writing, reporting, and communication skills. • Passion for self-improvement and comfort with constructive feedback. • Experience interviewing sources, managing and updating content, and analyzing data sets. • Familiarity with SEO and proven ability to improve content performance. • Strong collaboration skills, with experience using spreadsheets, Google Docs, and analytics tools. • Ability to balance evergreen, review, and news content while working cross-functionally. Preferred Qualifications • Previous experience covering student loans, or a high-level understanding of how federal and private student loans work. Where: • This role will be remote (based in the U.S.). • We believe great work can be done anywhere. No matter where you are based, NerdWallet offers benefits and perks to support the physical, financial, and emotional well being of you and your family. What we offer: Work Hard, Stay Balanced (Life’s a series of balancing acts, eh?) • Industry-leading medical, dental, and vision health care plans for employees and their dependents • Rejuvenation Policy – Vacation Time Off + 11 holidays + 4 Mental Health Days Off • New Parent Leave for employees with a newborn child or a child placed with them for adoption or foster care • Mental health support • Paid sabbatical for Nerds to recharge, gain knowledge and pursue their interests • Health and Dependent Care FSA and HSA Plan with monthly NerdWallet contribution • Monthly Wellness Stipend, Cell Phone Stipend, and Wifi Stipend • Work from home equipment stipend and co-working space subsidy Have Some Fun!
