Growth Marketer

About this role

About Future Finance
Future Finance is building the next generation of financial media: a daily newsletter that makes markets, investing, economics, and wealth creation engaging, actionable, and easy to understand for a modern audience.
Our goal is simple: become a daily habit for ambitious professionals who want to become smarter investors and better-informed consumers of financial information.
We're not going to out-spend our way to an audience. We're going to out-think, out-create, and out-connect everyone else in this space.
The Role
We're not looking for someone who scales Meta or Google budgets. We're looking for someone who can look at a newsletter, a brand, a content library, and a network - and find growth hiding in plain sight.
This is a creative, relationship-driven, operator role. You'll be the person who figures out how to add 10,000 subscribers without spending $10,000. You'll build partnerships, create content that spreads, design referral loops, and unlock distribution channels that money can't buy - working hand in hand with our writers and publishers to fuel growth.
If your instinct when you see a problem is to increase ad spend, this isn't the right fit. If your instinct is to ask "who already has our audience, and how do we build something together?" - read on.
Success in this role looks like:
Net new subscribers acquired
Subscriber quality and engagement rates
Partnership and co-marketing velocity
Organic content reach and conversion
Cost per subscriber

Design and Optimize Referral & Viral Loops

Identify the moments in the subscriber journey where readers are most likely to share
Test referral incentives, mechanics, and messaging to maximize word-of-mouth growth
Track viral coefficient and engineer improvements to it systematically
Grow Through Community and Events
Identify online communities (Reddit, Facebook Groups, Discord, Slack) where our audience lives
Develop a presence and contribution strategy in those communities - not spam, genuine value
Explore webinars, Twitter Spaces, and live events as subscriber acquisition and retention tools
Build relationships with journalists, editors, and media outlets for earned media and press coverage
Measure and Iterate Relentlessly
Report weekly on growth metrics, channel performance, and what's next
Requirements
Who You Are
3+ years of experience in growth, content marketing, or audience development
Track record: demonstrated success growing an audience, community, newsletter, or media brand without relying primarily on paid advertising
Strong writer: you can craft a pitch, a partnership email, a landing page, or a social post that actually works - and then works again
Resourceful and scrappy: you've built things with limited budgets and found ways to punch above your weight
Relationship-driven: you know how to cold outreach, build rapport, and close a partnership
Analytical: you know what's working and when to pivot
Bonus Points
A deep interest in stocks, DeFi, markets, crypto, and finance
Experience running or growing a newsletter (any niche)
Experience with referral platforms like SparkLoop, Beehiiv Boosts, or ReferralHero

Ideal Candidate Profile
You are someone who:
Thinks in systems - you don't just run one-off tactics, you build things that compound
Has strong opinions about what makes content worth sharing
Reads newsletters obsessively and notices what's working in the market
Can write a cold partnership email that actually gets a response
Knows the difference between vanity metrics and the numbers that actually matter
You've probably grown something - a newsletter, a community, a social account, a blog. That's the energy we're looking for.
