• Educational articles & content (blog articles, guides, etc.)

CONDITIONS:

Contract: Freelance, you can allocate between 10% and 20% of your time to this position

Start date: As soon as possible

Location: Flexible, remote. For this long-term freelance mission, you will work remotely but you are welcome to visit us in our Geneva office if you wish!

We are an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity. We consider all applications equally regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply.

Our audience:

We address a mix of non-expert and educated visitors in precious metals and investment in general. Our audience is in their late 30s to 60s, most of whom are looking to invest, diversify, save, or simply protect their money. They are looking for a trustworthy and easy-to-use partner. Building our reputation is therefore paramount, and we value transparency and education over financial speculation and overly aggressive marketing techniques.

As a Fintech, we want to differentiate ourselves from the classic "old school" gold retailers and dust off the idea of saving and investing in gold as something accessible for everyone.

Please make sure to include relevant examples of your editing and SEO work.
