Financial Advisor IQ, the leading publication covering wealth management, is looking for a journalist who can thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven newsroom. 

The ideal candidate will be able to join a team of highly motivated and skilled journalists and establish themselves as a leader on their beat and in the newsroom. 

We have an energetic team and seek someone eager to jump into the workings of the financial advisor market, develop inside sources, generate industry-shaping scoops, and produce exclusive, must-read stories that impact advisors in their day-to-day work. 

We write for an audience of financial advisors about how to work with clients, how to win new ones, how to grow a practice and, of course, what the major industry players are doing to stay competitive in terms of pay, benefits, products and business support. That means talking to advisors, executives and  recruiters and digging through filings to find original stories. 

We seek team players who can thrive in a work environment where reporters and editors swap ideas, share sources and industry knowledge, and save the competition for... the competition.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
