Full Job Description

What is the Seeking Alpha Marketplace and why is it better?

• The Seeking Alpha Marketplace is a platform for investing newsletter authors to manage and promote their subscription services. It already generates tens of millions of dollars of revenue, with over 180 investing subscription services. Many authors on the Seeking Alpha Marketplace platform have turned their subscription service into a full-time job, with a number of authors generating revenue of over $1M per year.
• Marketplace subscription services combine elements of the traditional investing newsletter, such as longer-form macro analysis, single stock ideas, and model portfolios, with more modern features such as real-time chat and trading alerts that keep subscribers plugged into markets throughout the trading day.
• Services can be quite broad in scope, with some that attempt to cover hundreds of stocks, to really niche, with services that focus on just a single theme such as biotech, cannabis, or cryptocurrency. Subscription prices also vary considerably, charging as little as $200 or as much as $2,500 per year.
• Unlike competitors like SubStack which provide only subscription management, Seeking Alpha’s Marketplace also helps authors with customer acquisition by providing access to millions of Seeking Alpha readers and even pays authors for articles that market their subscription services. As a result, Seeking Alpha Marketplace authors have far faster income growth than on other platforms.

What we're looking for?

We're looking for a person who is passionate about investing - and particularly online investing communities. This is your chance to be part of something big, by working with top investing personalities both on and off of Seeking Alpha and serving as a key asset for the company’s growth trajectory.

Why we’re a great company to work for?

• 
  We have a mission. Seeking Alpha is about more than helping people make money. People who invest are 24% happier, 19% less stressed, and report a 36% increase in their sense of well-being (source). By helping investors to succeed, we help them to send children to college, achieve life goals, afford healthcare, and provide themselves with a secure retirement.

• 
  We’re profitable and growing fast. We fuel our growth investments with our own capital, leading to greater stability for employees, and an inspiring growth-focused environment. All employees receive equity grants in-line with their cash compensation.

• 
  You’ll work with great people. We work in small, tight-knit groups of smart, engaged people who bring everything to the table every day.

• 
  We have fun. We love to get together at company events, which include Alphas who work from home. “Seeking Alpha doesn’t feed me well,” said no one ever.

• 
  You’ll impact the lives of many people. We have 15 million unique monthly visitors, and 500,000 unique users visit Seeking Alpha every business day.

If that's what you're looking for too- go ahead and apply!

Requirements:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English - must
• A strong knowledge of investing and capital markets - must
• A “sales” personality - able to easily approach strangers and pique their interest in the Seeking Alpha Marketplace - must
• A strong working knowledge of best practices in investing newsletter marketing - nice to have
• Familiarity with top social media platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter - nice to have
• Solid understanding of web metrics, digital analytics, and a proven ability to generate, analyze and interpret reports - must
• Outstanding project management skills, demonstrated by the ability to deliver on time and on budget - must

• Energetic, "can do" attitude, autodidact - must

Responsibilities:

The Marketplace Growth Manager is responsible for increasing the number of authors on our platform. Potential levers include:

• Actively reaching out to potential Marketplace service providers outside of the Seeking Alpha ecosystem, whether on social media platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter, or via competing sites like Marketfy or financial newsletter providers within SubStack. This will include establishing a viable social media presence so that you can easily approach potential new services.
• Actively reaching out to Seeking Alpha’s 1,000s of active contributors and 10s of thousands of dormant contributors to pitch them on opening their own Marketplace services. This involves gaining an intimate knowledge of Seeking Alpha’s contributor ecosystem and learning to identify the characteristics of successful Marketplace service providers.
• Evaluating incoming applications to open new Marketplace services.
• Onboarding new services by familiarizing them with what running a successful Marketplace service entails and walking them through our content management system and various on-site marketing tools. This part of the process involves a lot of hand-holding as you help authors fine-tune their service’s focus and all of their marketing materials.
• Staying up to date with new investing newsletter and online community industry trends - particularly among top competitors.
