Vancouver, Canada Rippling Full time

In the public markets, you can buy and sell your shares of companies freely. Interested in owning a bit of Tesla? Log into your favourite brokerage and buy a share. 

But what if you want to own a bit of SpaceX? The company is private and not listed on public markets, so there is traditionally no easy way for you to buy a share. What if you worked at SpaceX or another startup, earned shares and wanted to sell them? Unfortunately, you’d run into the same problem and be unable to sell the shares you’ve worked so hard to acquire. 

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 benefits 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.
Hiive is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workforce. We believe in providing equal employment opportunities to all qualified individuals regardless of race, colour, ethnicity, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, provincial, or local law.
