German Language Editor

Job description

Description

Impact is a global online platform, accessible to UBS employees, especially client advisors (CAs), and increasingly WMO clients, catering for their daily needs in terms of relevant business and economic information. This should be achieved by offering compelling, concise and context-relevant news articles that help clients understand financial markets and linking them to appropriate and useful instruments and trading ideas. Impact editors use the UBS House View of the UBS Chief Investment Office (CIO) to identify stories that enable UBS client advisors to promote communication with clients and help them make better investment recommendations. The main difference from a story found in other media is that Impact always quotes in-house experts – the bank's view and the investment recommendation with products are our selling propositions on this online platform.

The editors' journalistic and economic expertise will always be complemented by the knowledge from CIO Research and product specialists within UBS. In this context, the editor will be instrumental in writing the stories in cooperation with CIO Research, Investment Banking Research and Investment Products and Services (IPS) specialists from Equities, Fixed Income, Foreign Exchange, Funds and Discretionary Mandates.

• Support Impact as THE platform for UBS client advisors.
• Assist Impact to the next level: be THE platform for UBS Wealth Management clients.
• Continuously help to improve the quality of Impact.
• Build a network and connect with UBS information sources that are material in providing sound investment ideas.
• Advocate journalistic excellence. Help other IPS personnel publish quality articles on the platform.

Requirements

• Fluent spoken and written German – ideally native level – and a high standard of English.
• Several years of experience in a business of financial publication, preferably online.
• In-depth knowledge of the financial industry and financial insturments.
• Excellent writing skills with plain, precise language.
• Sound economics background, reflected in a university degree in economics or equivalent.
• Outstanding ability to identify compelling news.
• Ability to complement journalism expertise with the authority and knowledge of research and product specialists within the firm.
