Are you a skilled B2B writer with a strong commercial sense and the ability to deliver sharp content under deadlines? Do you enjoy balancing editorial excellence with client-facing content needs? 

We are seeking a dedicated Senior Writer to join our international editorial team. In this role, you will be responsible for producing commercial and sponsored content, as well as contributing to editorial content across Intelligent Insurer’s platforms and sister publications. You will collaborate closely with the editor and commercial team to meet client expectations while upholding editorial standards. 

The role would suit a journalist who has several years’ experience already under their belt writing about business or finance and who is now looking to progress their career. A broad understanding of business and finance is important, but an in-depth knowledge of this specific industry is not. 

We welcome applicants from across Europe. Travel is not necessary for this role.

• Deliver multiple executive interviews within tight timeframes, particularly during peak conference periods 
• Turn interviews, briefings and background materials into clear, engaging and publishable articles at speed 
• Work closely with the Editor to ensure all content meets Intelligent Insurer’s editorial standards and tone

What you'll need

You will regard attention to detail as fundamental and take pride in producing accurate, well-crafted articles that delivers genuine insight to our readers.

Success will be evident when clients are satisfied with seamless delivery, and your writing enhances the reputation of our publication, both commercially and editorially.
