The right person for this role understands our traders, moves fast, and takes pride in copy that actually performs.

• Comfortable working under NFA compliance guidelines for regulated brokerage content, or willing to learn and apply them consistently.
• Detail oriented enough to get a compliance reviewed email right and creative enough to write copy that actually engages traders.
• Comfortable moving fast, taking feedback, and iterating without losing momentum.
• Strong collaboration skills with the ability to work across multiple teams and manage competing priorities without losing consistency.
• This is an individual contributor role focused on hands-on execution, personal accountability, and subject matter expertise in copywriting and brand voice.
