What You'll Be Doing

- Research and write original content on investing, trading, personal finance, business, economics, and markets.
- Pitch 2–3 strong story ideas every week backed by research and clear audience relevance.
- Read annual reports, earnings transcripts, research papers, government reports, and other primary sources.
- Interview experts and practitioners whenever required.
- Convert complex financial concepts into engaging stories that anyone can understand.
- Create supporting material such as calculators, frameworks, models, data analysis, and visual references that strengthen our content.
- Repurpose insights across formats: turn a long-form video into shorts, reels, posts, and other platform-native content.
- Create clear visual briefs that editors and production teams can execute.

Important: We hire finance-first writers, not content-first writers. Strong financial understanding and research ability are significantly more important than prior content strategy experience.

- Familiarity with financial statements, financial ratios, investing frameworks, portfolio construction, valuation concepts, and market cycles.
- Ability to research unfamiliar topics from first principles.
- Ability to build simple financial models, calculators, and supporting material that improves content quality.

- Ability to explain complex financial concepts in simple, easy-to-understand language.
- Strong attention to detail and fact-checking.

Content Understanding

- Understanding of YouTube content fundamentals is a plus.
- Familiarity with concepts such as storytelling, audience psychology, retention, packaging, and content outliers are preferred.
