About the role
You are the finance engine behind our content and research. You research companies, sectors, markets, and options strategies, and check every number before it is used. You then turn that work into clear content and marketing that the creative team can produce. You also measure what works and make sure every published piece passes our compliance review.
Your main job is to get the finance right. Marketing is a strong second skill that helps the research reach the right audience.
Key responsibilities
Primary: Finance and research
- Research US-listed stocks, options strategies, sectors, and macro conditions to support recommendations and content.
- Verify every figure against a primary source (company filings, exchange data, official statistics) before it is used.
- Model and explain option structures, including payoffs, breakevens, maximum risk, and expiry, in plain language.
- Review scripts, newsletters, and recommendation write-ups for factual accuracy before they go to compliance.
- Keep a clear research log showing sources, dates, and the reasoning behind each view.
Primary: Data and analytics
- Build and maintain dashboards for research performance, subscription funnel metrics (waitlist, trial, paid conversion), and content performance.
- Track how content and research lead to sign-ups and enquiries across YouTube, LinkedIn, email, and the websites.
- Produce a monthly performance pack with clear recommendations.
Secondary: Marketing and content operations
- Write briefs for the creative team covering video scripts, thumbnails, carousels, newsletters, and landing-page copy.
- Maintain one content calendar across both brands and plan repurposing from long videos to short clips.
- Support SEO, email, and small paid-social tests.
- Manage timelines and quality checks with the creative team.
