Personal Finance Writer – Russia (Russian, Freelance)

Role overview

We're looking for an experienced personal finance writer with strong knowledge of the financial landscape across Russia and excellent writing and editorial skills in Russian.

You'll help create, review, and maintain accurate, engaging, and accessible personal finance content for nudge, covering everything from everyday money management and budgeting to investing, retirement, and other financial topics relevant to the local market.

This role combines personal finance expertise, strong writing and editorial skills, and the effective use of AI-assisted tools. You'll be responsible for creating clear, accurate, and engaging personal finance content that helps people understand their options and make informed financial decisions. AI-assisted tools support research, editing, and quality assurance, while human judgement, accuracy, and editorial ownership remain central to everything we produce.

Responsibilities

• Act as nudge's personal finance subject-matter expert for Russia, maintaining a strong understanding of local financial products, regulations, government initiatives, and developments affecting consumers

• Research, pitch, write, and refine personal finance content, including evergreen articles, educational posts, and other formats

• Use AI-assisted tools to support research, editing, and quality assurance while maintaining full editorial responsibility for the content

• Critically evaluate suggestions and feedback from AI-assisted editorial tools, applying independent judgement to determine appropriate changes

• Participate in human-in-the-loop (HITL) editorial workflows, reviewing feedback, resolving identified issues, and ensuring content meets nudge's quality standards

• Independently verify financial information using reliable and authoritative sources

• Review and update existing content to reflect changes in legislation, financial products, and local market developments

• Adapt complex financial topics into clear, practical, and engaging content appropriate for the intended audience, while following nudge's editorial guidelines and tone of voice

• Identify relevant and timely content opportunities, proposing ideas based on market developments, audience needs, and content priorities

• Collaborate with regional content managers and other internal stakeholders to meet deadlines and maintain consistent editorial standards

Skills and experience

The ideal candidate should:

• Have strong knowledge of personal finance across Russia, including relevant financial regulations, consumer financial products, and government schemes

• Demonstrate excellent writing, editing, and proofreading skills in Russian, with the ability to explain complex financial information clearly and naturally

• Have experience creating clear, accurate, and engaging personal finance content that makes complex financial topics accessible to different audiences

• Be comfortable using AI-assisted tools within an editorial workflow, with an understanding of their strengths and limitations

• Demonstrate strong editorial judgement and the ability to critically evaluate automated suggestions rather than accepting them without question

• Understand the importance of human oversight, factual accuracy, and accountability when using AI-assisted tools

• Be adaptable and willing to learn new technologies and editorial processes

• Have strong attention to detail, particularly when reviewing financial figures, regulatory requirements, eligibility conditions, and other potentially sensitive information

• Be able to write and edit naturally in Russian, ensuring that content is locally relevant and does not read like a literal translation or unedited AI output

• Have strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the confidence and professionalism to represent nudge in client-facing discussions when required

• Be organised, reliable, and able to manage deadlines while working independently in a remote, collaborative environment

• Be adaptable and open to evolving tools, technologies, and editorial processes

Experience with AI-assisted editorial processes, localisation, personal finance content, or multilingual editorial workflows would be an advantage.
