Produce high-volume short-form video and static ad creative for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Edit footage, craft hooks/scripts, coordinate UGC/on-camera talent, manage posting schedules, track basic performance metrics, and create email marketing campaigns. Execute briefs rapidly, iterate on winning creatives, and grow into greater strategic ownership over time.
WallStreetQuants is a fast-growing education business in the quant trading space. We help people land roles at the most competitive quant firms on Wall Street.
You'll be the engine behind our short-form content, ad & organic/email creative — turning ideas, briefs, and raw footage into finished, platform-ready videos, statics and emails that get posted and tested.
This is a high-output, hands-on role. You won't be setting the strategy from day one — you'll be executing it well, learning fast, and growing into more ownership over time. If you're 1-3 years into your career, hungry, obsessed with marketing and want a seat at a creator-led business where your work actually ships, this is for you.
RequirementsWhat you'll actually do
- Edit short-form videos for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts: cuts, captions, sound design, b-roll, pacing
- Produce ad creative variations at volume — when something works, we need 10 versions of it shipped quickly
- Help write hooks, scripts, and captions under direction from seniors
- Coordinate with freelance UGC creators and on-camera talent: schedule shoots, brief them, collect and organize footage
- Manage posting schedules and basic channel admin across platforms
- Stay on top of trends, formats, and what's working in finance/business content
- Track basic performance (views, hooks rate, hold rate, CTR) and bring observations to the team
- Create email marketing content & campaigns
- 1-3 years of marketing, either professionally or as a serious side project / personal channel
- A reel or portfolio that shows you understand short-form pacing, hooks, captions, and platform-native editing — not just technical editing skills
- Strong writing instincts — you can punch up a caption, sharpen a hook, suggest a better opening line
- High volume mindset — you're excited about shipping a lot, iterating fast, and not getting precious about any single piece
- Comfortable making viral content across channels: email / organic / paid (statics + videos).
- Background or genuine interest in finance, markets, trading, or quant topics (we'll teach you what you need to know, but curiosity helps)
- You run or have run your own social media account with real engagement
Benefits
- $55-80K depending on experience
- Full remote, flexible hours, async-first culture
- Real growth path: this role can grow into Creative Strategist or Head of Content as the team scales
