The opportunity

Altruist is hiring an experienced Content Strategist and Copywriter to shape the voice and storytelling behind Hazel, our transformative AI engine built exclusively for wealth managers and recently featured in CNBC, Bloomberg, and Yahoo Finance. This is a founding role in a rapidly expanding space, where a hands-on individual contributor will define Hazel’s voice, positioning, and the story we tell to the market. We’re looking for someone who brings strong content strategy instincts, obsesses over language, genuinely enjoys spending much of their day writing and editing, and takes ownership of projects from first draft through final result.

You’ll translate sophisticated AI capabilities into messaging that advisors immediately understand and trust. You’ll partner cross-functionally across Product, Marketing, Design, Sales, and Compliance to ensure Hazel’s story is clear, consistent, compliant, and effective at every touchpoint. We’re looking for someone who can zoom out to shape strategy and zoom in to refine a single sentence until it’s exactly right.

This role is hybrid, with three in-office days per week at our San Francisco FiDi location.

Your impact

• Define and evolve Hazel’s content strategy, messaging framework, and positioning in a rapidly growing AI category

• Shape the channels and formats that carry Hazel’s story, including SEO, thought leadership, lead-generation assets, product marketing, and launch campaigns

• Translate complex AI concepts and product capabilities into simple, advisor-friendly language

• Write and edit high-impact content, including product marketing materials, landing pages, emails, in-product messaging, sales enablement materials, and thought leadership

• Step in on key launches to drive messaging from concept to execution

• Collaborate closely with Product to deeply understand new features and articulate their value clearly and accurately

• Partner with Design to ensure copy and UX work seamlessly together

• Manage content workflows, including routing materials through Compliance and ensuring approvals are secured before publication

• Oversee publishing and distribution, ensuring assets are posted accurately and on time

• Monitor performance metrics and optimize messaging based on data and feedback

• Maintain consistency across channels while tailoring messaging for specific audiences

What you bring

• 5-8+ years of experience in content strategy and copywriting, ideally in AI, fintech, or SaaS

• A sharp editorial instinct and deep love of language

• Proven ability to make complex topics simple without losing nuance

• Experience collaborating cross-functionally and operating as a strong individual contributor

• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment where you may need to roll up your sleeves and jump into different types of projects

• Experience navigating compliance review processes (or working in regulated industries)

• A performance mindset where you measure effectiveness and iterate accordingly

• Strong organizational skills and ownership mentality — you see projects through from idea to approval to live performance
