Careers | Contrarian Thinking

Senior Writer

Position Overview

We're looking for a sharp, multi-talented writer who can swing from spreadsheets to story arcs without breaking a sweat. Someone who's passionate about startups and can distill complex financial topics into copy that converts, content that slaps, and stories people can't stop sharing.

The ideal candidate has a finance brain and a marketer's pen. You should be just as comfortable breaking down an acquisition deal as you are writing a viral tweet or distilling a wealth-building framework for 500,000+ newsletter readers.

This is not a one-trick writing gig. You'll write deep-dive breakdowns. You'll write short-form social. You'll write brand messaging, newsletter intros, and downloadable guides that feel more like contraband than content marketing.

You'll report to our Executive Editor, work closely with our CEO, and collaborate with teammates across media, community, and investing.

If you need "ample time to noodle," this is not the role for you.

If you crave creative range, run fast, write clean, and have impeccable taste, you'll thrive here.

If you worked here this month, here are some things you might have worked on :

• Wrote a 1,200-word acquisition breakdown that turned a trash hauling business into a must-read case study
• Turned that story into a 3-tweet banger that got 500k+ impressions on Codie Sanchez's Twitter
• Pitched a spicy new guide to help Main Street moguls get funding without begging VCs
• Partnered with our media and community teams to turn dry business frameworks into addictive, wealth-building cheat codes
