Senior Content Editor

About the Job

We're currently in the midst of the largest wealth transfer in history—an estimated $11T of baby-boomer-owned businesses is set to change hands this decade.

Mainshares backs the next generation of operators transferring into the owners’ seats. We work with them to identify business opportunities, connect them with SMB investors, and help them manage their acquisitions.

We’re on a mission to ensure the future of America’s small business economy. We believe in its importance for creating wealth and building prospering communities.

About the Role

Buying and running a small business can be daunting, confusing and lonely. X is filled with finance lingo. There are charlatans selling get-rich-quick courses. And, every success story seems to be an Ivy League MBA with experience on Wall Street.

At Mainshares, we want our content to directly contribute to our mission: backing the next generation of American owner-operators. That means consistent, high quality content that educates, inspires and informs the owners, operators and investors in the space.

We’re hiring for a Senior Content Editor to lead the charge in developing an effective content effort that is best in class for the SMB ecosystem.

Responsibilities

• Source, vet and manage a team of freelance content writers

• Coordinate with internal and external subject matter experts to deliver tactical, educational insights to our audience

• Draft briefs, provide redlines, and package content pieces for publication across our channels

• Manage roadmap and production of articles, reports, guides and newsletters for small business operators, owners and investors

• Collaborate with marketing, sales and product teammates to maximize distribution and impact of content

Requirements

• 5+ years of content creation and editing experience in a Series A to Series C startup

• You have owned the sourcing, vetting and managing of freelance creative talent

• You are detail oriented and have strong project management skills, regularly using tools like Asana and Notion to streamline and track workflows

• Your previous role required collaborating with design to generate high quality infographics and illustrative assets for your writing

• You have previously gone from outsider to insider in an industry. You are naturally curious and are always thinking, “how does this apply to XYZ?”

• You are looking for a mission to drive your work and are more intense than most folks you’ve worked with

Nice-to-Have

• Understanding of accounting and finance terms

• Familiarity with the small business ecosystem, with family or friends who own and operate SMBs
