Economist & Market Commentator — Office of the CEO

Reports to: CEO (dotted line to Head of Brand & Communications)

Location: Pune Experience: 4–8 years

Type: Full time The role

You will be the economic mind and writing voice behind the CEO's public presence — primarily on X, with extensions to LinkedIn and long-form content. This is not a social media management job. You will form independent views on markets and macro and translate them into commentary sharp enough that market participants stop scrolling.

The CEO's account is a credibility asset for the firm. You are its custodian. What you'll do

Think first

· Track macro releases (CPI, IIP, GDP, trade data), RBI policy, global central bank action, and their transmission into Indian equity and rate markets

· Build a running point of view on market structure — FII/DII flows, derivatives positioning, sectoral rotation, primary market activity

· Generate the content agenda rather than react to it: identify what will matter in two weeks, not what trended yesterday Write

· Daily and event-driven posts in the CEO's voice — Budget day, MPC day, results season, volatility events, regulatory shifts

· Long-form threads and commentaries (800–2,000 words) on subjects with genuine depth: SEBI's F&O; reforms, retail participation trends, market microstructure changes, valuation debates

· Op-eds and bylined columns for financial publications

· Talking points and speech notes for TV appearances, panels and earnings calls Publish and engage

· Own the posting calendar and cadence; know when to post and when to hold





· Manage rapid-response during market events — a considered take within the hour, not the day

· Navigate the fintwit ecosystem: know who matters, when to engage, when to stay out What you need

Non-negotiable

· NISM Series XV (Research Analyst) certification, valid and current

· Master's in Economics, Finance or equivalent

· 4+ years in macro research, economics, market strategy or financial journalism

· A public writing portfolio — published research, columns, or a personal account with a track record. We will read it closely. Strongly preferred

· Prior experience ghostwriting for a senior executive, and comfort with the ego-free nature of the work

· Fluency with data sources: CMIE, Bloomberg/Refinitiv, NSE/BSE datasets, RBI publications

· Demonstrated ability to build charts and visuals that carry an argument

· Native understanding of X as a medium — thread architecture, hooks, timing, what earns quote-tweets versus what dies Temperament

· Opinionated, but shows the working

· Comfortable being wrong in public and correcting cleanly

· Understands that a broking CEO's account carries regulatory weight — instinctively knows the line between commentary and a recommendation How you'll be measured

· Quality of thinking as judged by the CEO and by who engages with the content

· Consistency of output through a market cycle

· Follower growth and engagement among a qualified audience — traders, investors, journalists, allocators

· Zero compliance incidents Interested candidates can share their CVs on [email protected]
