Managing Editor, MoneySense

Who is Ratehub?

We’re a company on a mission - We are a unique Canadian Fintech that is the one stop shop for all financial needs of the consumer - Save, Spend, Borrow, Invest, and Protect. Every single team member, from product & engineering to sales & marketing, finance, operations, and everything in between is obsessed with one thing;  helping Canadians make better financial choices. And we’re pretty great at it, too. Via our digital application technology and our award-winning in-house brokerages, we help over 2M Canadians per month make a positive impact on their finances. We have many unique businesses - a mortgage brokerage, a life insurance brokerage, a home and auto insurance brokerage, a mortgage originations and servicing business, a Financial Services Marketplace and a content business across Ratehub and MoneySense. 365 days a year we deliver our users the best online mortgage experience, personalized Credit Card and Loans options, and cheaper auto & home insurance policies than they typically get from their existing financial adviser. 

Changing how people make financial choices isn’t easy, though. We know that achieving our mission is full of challenges; challenges that can be complex and often unexpected, but that are always interesting, rewarding, and fun to solve as a team. This is where you come in. We are on the hunt for the right kind of people to join us and help lead us forward to continued growth.

The Managing Editor will play a vital part in building the future of MoneySense, a trusted, award-winning Canadian personal finance media brand that has remained editorially independent following its acquisition by Ratehub in 2018.

To achieve this, the Managing Editor will bring together editorial expertise and SEO insight to create content that drives growth in traffic, engagement, and reach. This role is pivotal, bridging editorial vision with data-driven strategy to strengthen our brand voice, stay agile as reader habits evolve, and deliver content that not only gets published, but also performs, resonates, and builds lasting impact with our audience.
