Welcome to Morningstar. We’re a people-centric company led by a mission to empower investor success.

Morningstar has been committed to empowering investor success for over 35 years. Our mission extends to 27 countries and with our global reach, we empower investors worldwide to attain their financial goals. One way we accomplish this is by offering independent research and great software products to financial advisers and individual investors. We believe that when the investor wins, we all win.

About the team

Our mission is to improve outcomes for everyday investors across Australia by delivering high-quality, independent analysis, and guidance. We are a small but dedicated team, supported by a global business, passionate about our subject matter and empowering everyday Australians to reach their financial goals.

Morningstar is seeking a talented Assistant Editor to join the editorial team. Primary responsibility will be working on one of Morningstar’s publications, First links. First links is a leading weekly publication delivering expert commentary from financial market professionals. Its network of contributors shares their knowledge from an informed and impartial point of view, without pushing products or promoting services.

Day to day could you see being involved in the following

Primary duties involve sub-editing, researching, and fact-checking articles from the team of Morningstar journalists and Firstlinks contributors. You will also work closely with editors, assisting with content planning and the curation of external analysis and opinion articles.
Additionally, you will:

• Assist with the curation of content from Firstlinks content partners

• Be introduced to content creators with the view to developing long-term relationships

• Sub-edit and proof articles across our online channels

• Ensure content adheres with Morningstar’s editorial guidelines

• Publish content in the CMS including sourcing photos and graphics

We are ideally interested in hearing from people who have a knowledge of financial markets, but an interest in investing is a must. You would also have experience in a similar role, the ability to manage multiple stakeholders and be known for your superior writing and editing skills. Tertiary qualifications in journalism, communications, or another literacy-related field will be an advantage.

Build a Career that Matters at Morningstar

At Morningstar, your contributions have meaning and can drive change. We offer a place where talented, driven people can grow. Our differences are our strengths; the fact that we don’t all think the same way and encourage unique perspectives helps create great products and services for our clients.

Morningstar deeply values diversity and considers having a diverse employee base as core to the intellectual vibrancy of our spaces, the employee experience, and ultimately our business success. We are proud that we have been acknowledged with Best Places to Work certifications in many of our global locations.
