Job Description

Location: HSR (Bangalore) WFO

We are looking for thinkers who can use finance content to drive business outcomes.

Content is not a support function; it is a growth engine.

Your role would be to build authority, influence decision-making, and drive acquisition for India's mutual fund distributor ecosystem.

What You'll Own (Not Just Do)

Build high-impact long-form content (blogs, reports, newsletters) that drives:

  • Organic traffic
  • Lead generation
  • Brand authority
  • Turn complex topics (mutual funds, MFD business, regulations, market shifts) into:
  • Clear, sharp, insight-led narratives
  • Actionable content for distributors and financial professionals
  • Develop strong points of view, not just summaries

→ We value insight over information

Identify and execute content opportunities from:

  • Market cycles
  • Policy updates (SEBI, AMFI)
  • Industry shifts in distribution and investing
  • Build content IPs / series:
  • MFD growth playbooks
  • Distributor case studies
  • Industry breakdowns

Adapt and repurpose long-form content for distribution across:

  • LinkedIn
  • Social media
  • Email
  • Other relevant channels

→ Strong understanding of headlines, hooks, and content packaging is critical

Write with a clear understanding of the target audience:

  • Mutual Fund Distributors (MFDs)
  • Financial professionals
  • Investors
  • Collaborate with product, marketing, and leadership to align content with business goals
  • Ensure content adheres to financial and compliance guidelines where applicable
  • Edit and improve existing content to elevate clarity, structure, and conversion impact

Success Metrics

  • Content that ranks for high-intent keywords
  • Measurable organic traffic growth
  • Content that contributes to lead generation and conversions
  • High engagement in newsletters and long-form pieces
  • Clear improvement in brand authority within the MFD ecosystem

Strong Requirements

4–6 years of experience in:

  • Financial content
  • Fintech
  • Investment platforms
  • Business journalism
  • Strong understanding of:
  • Mutual funds
  • Indian financial markets
  • Investment behaviour
  • Securities markets

Ability to:

  • Break down complex concepts simply
  • Form original opinions backed by research
  • Write with clarity, structure, and authority
  • A portfolio that demonstrates:
  • Depth of thinking
  • Structured long-form writing
  • Real-world relevance

Advantage

Understanding of the mutual fund industry and the MFD distribution ecosystem:

  • MFDs
  • IFAs
  • ARN
  • Trail commissions
  • Business models
  • Experience writing for:
  • Financial advisors
  • Investment platforms
  • B2B financial audiences

Writing Expectations

  • No fluff. No jargon-heavy writing
  • Strong hooks, sharp structure, clear takeaways
  • Ability to simplify without dumbing down
  • Insight-led writing over generic information

AI & Tools

  • Uses AI for efficiency, not dependency
  • Adds original thinking beyond AI-generated content
  • Comfortable with SEO platforms, CMS, and related tools

What We Value

  • High ownership and accountability
  • Curiosity about markets, business, and user behaviour
  • Bias for action and iteration
  • Ability to take feedback and improve quickly

We Will NOT Consider Candidates Who

  • Only have academic finance knowledge without applied writing
  • Cannot show published long-form work
  • Depend heavily on AI without original thinking
  • Write generic, surface-level content
