Hiring for a Freelance Editorial Lead for my Bestselling Substack Newsletter Frugal Chic
If you already read newsletters about money, have a Substack yourself or watch finance content already, this might be for you.
I'm looking for:
- A strong level of financial literacy
- Experience in writing or journalism
- An eye for style and fashion
I currently write the newsletter myself, and I don’t want that to completely disappear. I’ll still be heavily involved in the ideas, opinions, and personality behind it. But after writing a whole book and diving in the deep end with other ventures, I find myself needing support.
That might mean:
- Turning my voice notes, rough drafts, videos, conversations, and chaotic Notes app thoughts into polished newsletters
- Studying trends and industry shifts that can inform new ideas
- Researching topics and finding the facts, studies, statistics, and examples that make an idea stronger
- Fact-checking financial content and making sure we’re using credible, up-to-date sources
- Coming to me with your own ideas, angles, observations, and things you think Frugal Chic® should be talking about
- Understanding my voice well enough to know when something sounds like me and, importantly, when it doesn’t
- Helping develop recurring concepts, frameworks, and editorial series that become recognisable parts of Frugal Chic®
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
