Position: Business Analyst/Writer for Financial Commentary Subscription
Company: MeritCapital
Category: Business Analyst
Experience required: no_exp
English level: intermediate

Our company is creating a subscription-based report for financial analysis and stock market trade recommendations. We are looking for an analyst/writer to help with the following:

1. Meet for 1 hour weekly with the founders to brainstorm upcoming content for the week
2. Create an article outline based on the thesis / financial ideas that we discuss during the meeting (articles have been averaging 2000-3000 words)
3. Research news and data sources for supporting information; do data analysis as needed and create our own visuals in partnership with our data analyst using our proprietary data models. Create summary of researched information with proper citation so that others can contribute to writing as the timeline dictates
4. Draft article, citing sources and including visuals (TBD)

We will publish a longer article every 2 weeks, and a trade recommendation every week.

The ideal candidate can demonstrate effective, fast, and thorough research skills, choosing trustworthy sources to support the main points of the article. They work independently but speak up with questions, because they know that remote collaboration works best when we kill assumptions and force clarity.

The primary role I am hiring for is a business analyst; an exceptional candidate may also be responsible for writing the articles. Native written English would be required for someone taking on the writing portion of the work. Native English is not required for the analyst portion of the role.

I imagine that this job will require 10-15 hours a week, but it depends on the final scope of the role.

We are already publishing content and could use help immediately. If you aren't immediately available, we can be flexible on the start date.
