Second Foundation Partners is looking for a talented, passionate writer intrigued by the opportunity to bring data to life through engaging daily content about media, markets, and sports.
The Role
You'll be an early part of a small team building content from our new research platform, turning data-driven insights into daily fresh, engaging content. Working with our Digital Content Manager, you'll help keep our site dynamic and interesting, blending analytics with cultural commentary.
What You'll Do
- Write daily content that explains what our AI-powered dashboards are telling us about media, markets, and sports;
- Keep our WordPress site organized and fresh;
- Use AI tools to help generate and refine content ideas;
- Spot interesting patterns and connections across different topics;
- Turn complex data insights into clear, engaging stories; and
- Learn to translate technical concepts into accessible content.
What We're Looking For
- Strong, fast-paced writer with 0-2 years of experience with an independent voice;
- Someone equally comfortable with Shakespeare and Stonks;
- Deep interest in at least one of our core areas: media, markets, or sports;
- Intellectual curiosity and ability to spot interesting connections;
- Willingness to learn WordPress and basic web design; and
- Comfort working with data and AI tools (we'll teach you the specifics of our platform).
What Makes a Good Fit
- You read widely and voraciously – especially about media, financial markets, and/or sports;
- You can explain complex ideas without being pedantic and repetitive;
- You're interested in how stories and narratives shape our world;
- You find the sort of writer who tells you how to think exhausting; and
- You can switch between serious analysis and snark.
What We Offer
- $70,000 base salary, bonus, 401k, and health insurance;
- Chance to learn about AI, markets, and narrative analysis;
- Supportive, small team environment; and
- Room to grow in a small, rapidly growing company.
- Location: Fairfield County, CT with partial remote possible
How to Apply
- Candidates must have current authorization to work in the US without requiring employer sponsorship.
- This is an early career position with room to grow. Recent graduates welcome. While we wouldn't be surprised to see successful candidates from academic writing backgrounds, we care more about whether you can think and write clearly.
- Send to ...@2fpartners.com (1) a resume, (2) a brief cover/introduction email if you think there are important things your resume doesn't cover, and (3) a small portfolio of your work. This could be links to things you've written or document with samples of writing you are proud of in any style.
- Help us out by including the position you are applying for in the subject line of your email.
