This is a hands‑on role for someone who’s already proven themselves as a brilliant content creator and wants the freedom to make a real impact. You’ll move seamlessly between writing short, high‑energy posts and longer thought‑leadership pieces that show EXANTE’s expertise and global perspective.

Reporting Line: Head of Content

• Translate complex financial topics into sharp, readable copy that builds trust and engagement.
• Develop, schedule, and measure content for EXANTE’s LinkedIn and regional channels.
• Collaborate with peers in Research, Marketing, and Design to turn ideas and insights into compelling stories.
• Support longer projects such as whitepapers, event coverage, sales enablement and investor communications.
• Uphold brand tone consistency and clarity across all touchpoints.
• Monitor engagement and continuously refine messaging for maximum impact.

Qualifications

• 5+ years’ experience as a business or financial writer, ideally with a background in journalism, B2B marketing, or investment communications.
• A clear, confident writing style with fluent command of English.
• Proven ability to adapt tone and complexity for different professional audiences.
• Curiosity about markets, macroeconomics, and global investing.
• Comfortable working collaboratively in a fast‑paced, international environment.
• Familiarity with social analytics, SEO, and performance‑driven content.
• The ability to innovate and elevate both content and process, whether using AI or best practice from other sectors.

Personality / Mindset

• Curious about how markets move and what makes audiences tick.
• Sharp on detail, but never loses sight of the bigger story or your audience.
• Energized by complex topics and how to communicate them.
• Hands on, can do. You’re a self‑starter with the confidence to kick things off and get working.
• Comfortable challenging assumptions and suggesting better ways to say things.
• Collaborative by instinct, you enjoy working with designers, analysts, and subject experts.
• Calm under pressure; you thrive in fast‑moving, international environments.
• Driven by impact: you want to see your work shift perceptions and performance.

We Offer

• Corporate benefits (choose your preferred options)
• Truly inspiring culture, pleasant and informal work environment
• Ongoing education & training programs
• Opportunity to network and connect in the Corporate Events
• Global career opportunities
