- Develop new educational pathways that meet learners where they are, with clear progression from introductory to mastery-level content
- Lead the team to create compelling content across multiple formats: video tutorials, interactive tools, written guides, and live instruction. Work closely with marketing to ensure appropriate reach, deployment, and alignment with SEO and digital acquisition goals

Skills
- Deep, genuine interest in individual investing and personal finance; you don't need to be a professional investor, but you have a working knowledge of fundamental stock analysis, believe in its power as a framework for everyday investors, and can make that conviction contagious to learners at every level
- A genuine willingness to develop deep fluency in BetterInvesting's analytical frameworks; prior knowledge of the SSG is not required
- Demonstrated ability to take complex subject matter and build structured, sequenced educational programs around it, from foundational concepts to advanced applications; the content drives the curriculum, not the other way around
- 1–2 years of direct experience designing and delivering online learning programs; online education requires distinct instructional design skills, and comfort with digital learning environments, asynchronous formats, and learner engagement strategies is essential for this role
- Experience managing and developing a team, with the ability to set clear expectations, coach for growth, and hold people accountable
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate complex analytical concepts for non-expert audiences
- Comfort with quantitative analysis and financial calculations; the SSG is a fundamentals-based framework, and the ability to work fluently with numbers is essential to teaching it effectively
- Bachelor's degree (Master's in Education, Instructional Design, Curriculum Development, or related field preferred)
- Background in financial services, investment education, or personal finance, whether professional, academic, or as a committed individual investor
- Prior familiarity with the Stock Selection Guide or similar fundamental analysis frameworks is a plus, but not required; what matters is the ability and eagerness to develop genuine fluency
