This role reports to the Director, Public Relations & Communications.

Where you can make an impact:

Original research and analysis

Set and own NerdWallet’s economic research and reports, the flagship annual studies, recurring indices and one-off investigations that define what we are known for.

Conduct original quantitative analysis across every kind of source: NerdWallet’s data, commissioned consumer surveys, federal statistics (BLS, BEA, Census, Federal Reserve, CFPB) and private sector datasets (Zillow, ADP, Indeed, Realtor.com and others).

Design and interpret survey research, writing the report with new and relevant topics.

Develop and publish commentary on major data releases (CPI, jobs report, FOMC, GDP, housing) as soon as they publish.

Hold NerdWallet’s editorial standards for methodology, sourcing and writing.

Story angles and partnership with Comms

Work side by side with Communications to translate findings into pitchable angles. You are in the room when we decide what to pitch, not handed a request after the fact.

Maintain a forward-looking pipeline of data narratives tied to the seasonal, cultural and policy moments where consumer finance becomes news.

Identify where NerdWallet’s data says something no one else can say, and push to invest there.
