The successful candidate is a strong content producer with genuine curiosity about investing, financial planning, and institutional financial management. They can elicit useful perspectives from experienced partners, manage multiple pieces through a production pipeline, and work carefully in a regulated environment. The role also contributes to broader firmwide content work as priorities require and uses AI tools throughout the content lifecycle with appropriate judgment.

• Excellent organizational and project management skills, including the ability to manage multiple pieces at different stages simultaneously.
