Until now. Hiive is a fintech/marketplace startup connecting buyers and sellers of stock of pre-IPO companies. Fresh off of a Series A led by one of the most successful investors in the world, growing 50% per quarter and looking for a person like you to join. 

As the Lead Writer, you will be at the creative center of Hiive. You’ll take trends, data, and interviews and convert those into leading stories in the private markets. We’re not just trying to write blog posts; we’re trying to build a knowledge engine akin to RobinHood’s Snacks and First Round Review. As one of the first hires on the marketing team, you’ll be given the creative keys to the castle and have the opportunity to forge your own journey with the potential to build your own team over time. 

In this role, your responsibilities would include: 

• Interviewing high-profile startup leaders at Unicorns and Hiive’s super knowledgeable exec team

• Turning the world’s most extensive set of private market data into compelling stories

• Building a feedback loop with our  growth team to optimize SEO, ad copy, webpage copy, and everything else we share publicly 

• Crafting social media content and boosting engagement with our audience 

• Work with our designers and agencies to create compelling graphics and thought-provoking videos 

Required Experience:

• 3+ years in journalism or content creation 

• You’re a great writer. From long form to short form, copywriting to a dissertation, you’re able to do it all

• Knowledge of BI tools to dig up insights – or the willingness to learn how to dive deep into data 

• The ability to take technical jargon and convert it into prose 

• Knowledge of startups, VC, equity, and the financial terms that surround them 

• Knowledge of SEO best practices a plus 

• We’re optimizing for impact, not exact qualifications. If you feel under- or over-qualified, let us know why you’re interested in this role. If you’re passionate and a fit, we will adjust accordingly.

• Highly competitive salary plus commission commensurate with experience and contribution. 
• Opportunity to participate in ownership of a rapidly growing early-stage startup through our employee stock option plan.
• Comprehensive 100% employer-paid health and dental premiums and a health spending account.
• Preference to those willing to work in our Mt. Pleasant, Vancouver, BC HQ, with a first-class view of the mountains. Open to remote candidates.
• An engaging social calendar, including bi-weekly catered lunches, bi-weekly “Friday bar,” team workouts, annual summer party and holiday party, two “onsite” all-team retreats each year, semi-annual team-building events, and Hiive Womens’ Network events.
• Significant opportunities for growth into team leadership and management roles.
• Entrepreneurial culture and a small and dynamic team.
• Sponsorship, immigration and relocation for exceptional candidates.
