Job Summary

Drive multi-channel content to grow a paid trading community, building and executing the full funnel from social to email to membership.

  • Must-have: Proven experience growing social media accounts — links and metrics required.

  • Standout: Ability to launch and scale brand accounts across X, Instagram, and TikTok from zero.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the entire top-of-funnel — social media, content, and email — and turn daily trading activity into content that attracts subscribers and grows the community.
  • Run and grow the founder's personal X (Twitter) account — drafting posts, threads, replies, and growth experiments.
  • Launch Alpha Pod's X account from zero and build a distinct brand presence.
  • Launch and grow Instagram and TikTok from scratch — short-form video, carousels, educational reels tailored to trading and finance audiences.
  • Every day, the Alpha Pod Discord generates charts, trade ideas, flow analysis, market discussion, and bot outputs. You'll pull the best material and package it into X threads, IG carousels, TikTok clips, and email content.
  • Build and maintain a repeatable daily/weekly content calendar so this runs as a system.
  • Plan, write, and send email campaigns — weekly digests, onboarding sequences, re-engagement flows.
  • Build funnels from social content → email capture → community membership.
  • Grow the email list as a standalone asset.
  • Help plan and execute launch campaigns for new products — trading indicators, algorithmic tools, and future research offerings.
  • Own launch copy, teaser content, email rollout sequences, and post-launch engagement across all channels.

Requirements

  • Proven experience growing social media accounts — links and metrics required.
  • Trading, finance, investing, or tech/education niches preferred.
  • Strong writing skills. You can write hooks, threads, and copy that sounds human and direct — not generic AI-generated content.
  • Understanding of how social media, email, and community acquisition work together as a funnel.
  • Comfortable working inside Discord daily and identifying content that will resonate with a broader audience.
  • Genuine interest in stocks, options, or trading. You don't need to be an expert or active trader, but you should find the space genuinely interesting.
  • Experience with Beehiiv or similar email platforms (ConvertKit, Mailchimp, etc.).
  • Self-directed and comfortable with high autonomy. You'll get raw material and strategic direction; you own the execution.
  • Part-time: 20–30 hours per week
  • Remote, U.S. time zones preferred for market-hours alignment
  • Contract / Independent contractor

Preferred

  • Understanding of fintwit (financial Twitter) culture and what performs on trading/finance X.
  • Short-form video production skills (CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, etc.).
  • Experience marketing a Discord community, paid membership, or subscription product.
  • Basic design skills for carousels, thumbnails, and social graphics (Canva, Figma).
  • Familiarity with tools like Unusual Whales, TradingView, or similar trading platforms.
