Responsibilities

• Write short-form video scripts (30-45 seconds) from research and themes we provide
• Draft titles, hooks, and on-screen text for YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok
• Write captions that drive engagement and conversion
• Write Instagram story copy within a structured formula
• Execute within documented content frameworks with specific models for hooks, body architecture, and quality gates
• Produce high volume without sacrificing precision
• Collaborate with video producer/editor
• Coordinate content publication across all channels

Requirements

• Strong short-form copywriting ability. You think in tight, declarative sentences, not paragraphs.
• Comfortable with financial and macro themes. You should know the difference between a rate cut and a rate hold, understand why a supply shock matters, and not confuse a treasury auction with a savings account. This is markets content, not budgeting advice.
• Ability to follow creative systems precisely. This role is about executing within frameworks at speed, not freelancing.
• Speed and consistency. The goal is drafts that need 20% editing, not 80% rewrites.
• Based in Chicago and able to work in person.

Preferred

• Bonus if you've worked in: financial media, or any environment where content is measured by measurable outcomes
