Morningstar is a global leader in mutual fund and ETF data and analysis.

The successful candidate for this role will write both original content and local-language adaptations of other Morningstar stories. For this role, we are seeking a reporter that is fluent in Dutch or French. Responsibilities for the position will include reviewing translations of articles by other reporters for publishing on websites aimed at readers in either of those languages.
We are looking for a reporter who can combine a lively, engaging writing style with a proven ability to make complex subjects accessible to a wide audience, from retail investors and pension savers to financial advisers and institutional investors.
The successful candidate will possess a sound understanding of financial markets and strong news judgement. The role requires the ability to crunch numbers into news-you-can-use, build and leverage a strong network in the funds industry and engage in thought leadership, which requires a keen awareness of the fund & ETF trends that matter.
