Responsibilities

• Track developments across stablecoins, digital currencies, on-chain treasury management, and cross-border payments infrastructure.
• Identify the questions that enterprise decision-makers are asking about stablecoins and payments, and build content that answers them directly.
• Monitor the competitive landscape to spot gaps and opportunities in how this space is being covered.
• Develop clear, opinionated perspectives on market trends - not summaries, but views that demonstrate expertise.
• Write long-form content for the Merge website: guides, explainers, market analyses, and use-case breakdowns - optimised for both search engines and LLM discoverability.
• Draft LinkedIn posts and thought leadership content, maintaining a consistent publishing cadence.
• Produce short-form content: comparison pages, glossary entries, FAQ-style pages, and explainers that capture high-intent queries.
• Create clear visuals: payment flow diagrams, treasury architecture maps, market comparisons, and infographics using relevant design tools.
• Think beyond publication. A single piece of research should become a blog post, a LinkedIn thread, a podcast talking point, a newsletter pitch, and a conference abstract.
• Pitch and place guest articles, opinion pieces, and expert commentary in relevant publications and newsletters.
• Build relationships with journalists, newsletter editors, and podcast hosts covering payments and digital assets.
• Coordinate with freelance podcast producers, video editors, and designers to deliver multimedia content. You own the brief and the narrative - external partners handle specialist production.

Requirements

• Exceptional writing skills: you can take a complex topic and make it clear, engaging, and persuasive.
• Strong analytical thinking: you can read a market report, a regulatory filing, or a protocol whitepaper and extract what matters.
• An instinct for distribution: you think about where content will live and who will see it, not just whether it's well written.
• Speed and consistency: you can produce multiple pieces of quality content per week and sustain that cadence.
• Intellectual curiosity about finance, blockchain, and how money moves globally.

Preferred

• Understanding of how search engines and LLMs discover and surface content.
• Exposure to payments, blockchain, or financial markets (through study, internships, or personal interest).
• Experience pitching or placing content with journalists, editors, or publications.
• A personal blog, newsletter, or portfolio of published writing.
• Experience briefing or coordinating with freelancers and external creative partners.
