WHO IS RATEHUB?

We’re a company on a mission - We are a unique Canadian Fintech that is the one stop shop for all financial needs of the consumer - Save, Spend, Borrow, Invest, and Protect. Every single team member, from product & engineering to sales & marketing, finance, operations, and everything in between is obsessed with one thing; helping Canadians make better financial choices. And we’re pretty great at it, too. Via our digital application technology and our award-winning in-house brokerages, we help over 2M Canadians per month make a positive impact on their finances. We have many unique businesses - a mortgage brokerage, a life insurance brokerage, a home and auto insurance brokerage, a mortgage originations and servicing business, a Financial Services Marketplace and a content business across Ratehub and MoneySense. 365 days a year we deliver our users the best online mortgage experience, personalized Credit Card and Loans options, and cheaper auto & home insurance policies than they typically get from their existing financial adviser.

Changing how people make financial choices isn’t easy, though. We know that achieving our mission is full of challenges; challenges that can be complex and often unexpected, but that are always interesting, rewarding, and fun to solve as a team. This is where you come in. We are on the hunt for the right kind of people to join us and help lead us forward to continued growth.

The Editor in Chief will shape the next chapter of MoneySense, one of Canada’s most trusted and award-winning personal finance media brands. Since joining Ratehub in 2018, MoneySense has remained proudly editorially independent and is focused on expanding its reach and impact.

We’re looking for a leader who can combine editorial excellence with SEO and audience-growth expertise to help more Canadians feel confident in their financial decisions. But this role goes beyond editorial: you’ll be responsible for guiding the future of the brand, ensuring MoneySense stays commercially viable, strategically aligned, and positioned for long-term growth in a rapidly evolving media landscape.

As Editor in Chief, you’ll set the editorial vision, refine content strategy, and lead a talented team while also shaping how MoneySense continues to thrive as both a trusted resource and a successful business. This is a high-impact opportunity to grow a national brand, shape financial conversations in Canada, and lead MoneySense into its future.
