About the role

The Editor – Data & Analysis will sit at the heart of one of the maritime industry's most respected brands, producing the content and intelligence that a highly specialized global audience of shipowners, financiers, and advisors relies on week after week.

Responsibilities

• Write and deliver weekly newsletter content: Research, analyze, and write the articles and market summaries that power each issue of Freshly Minted — covering vessel transactions, shipping finance deals, capital markets activity, and global maritime developments with accuracy and analytical depth.
• Craft features and analysis for Marine Money Magazine: Develop long-form articles, deal analyses, and data-driven market trend pieces for the quarterly magazine, producing supporting charts and graphs from both public and proprietary data sources.
• Maintain the Marine Money Deal Database: Keep the Deal Database accurate and current by documenting shipping finance transactions — deal amounts, financiers, deal types, use of proceeds, principals, and dates — while mining it for analytical content that serves subscribers and consulting deliverables.
• Research and update the Official Guide to Ship Registries (OGSR): Conduct ongoing research across open, national, and international registries to keep OGSR entries current, accurate, and consistent, covering registration requirements, taxation, crewing, legal frameworks, and regulatory changes.
• Contribute to the digital membership platform: Produce short-form analysis, database highlights, and charts that add real subscriber value to the Marine Money digital platform and reflect developments across the brand's conference portfolio.
• Monitor markets and build industry intelligence: Track shipping finance news, capital markets activity, regulatory changes, and vessel transaction data continuously, developing working knowledge of key market participants to fuel original reporting and story development.
• Support editing, proofreading, and production: Assist the Managing Editor and Executive Editor in reviewing content across all publications, ensuring accuracy, clarity, consistency, and adherence to Marine Money's editorial style standards before anything goes to print or post.

• Strong writing and translation skills: You can take complex financial data and market intelligence and turn it into clear, well-structured, compelling content.
• Data discipline and attention to detail: You approach structured data and reference content with care, catching inconsistencies and maintaining the kind of quality control that keeps a proprietary database trustworthy.

• A collaborative, self-starting mindset: You work well independently and as part of a lean, high-trust team, following through reliably and bringing a genuine interest in the subject matter to everything you produce.
