Finance-Literate Research Assistant

Summary

You'd be our overnight markets/content radar. Each weekday morning before 7:00 AM Pacific, you send a short brief of 3–5 high-quality posting opportunities from the prior evening, so the founder wakes up to a ready queue. RiskModels is an institutional equity-risk analytics product (position-level factor/risk decomposition for stocks, funds, and 13F filings; riskmodels.org / riskmodels.app). The job is NOT to post on our behalf and NOT account management — you find and interpret; the founder writes and posts in his own voice. Focused overnight SCAN (not "monitor everything") of: Reddit (r/quant, r/algotrading, r/investing, r/SecurityAnalysis), X/fintwit, LinkedIn, Substack/finance blogs, and SSRN/arXiv q-fin when something relevant pops up. Each morning brief = 3–5 items, each with: source + link; 2–3 sentence summary; why it fits RiskModels; suggested founder angle; suggested format (quick reply / LinkedIn post / X thread / article seed); link recommendation (none / soft / direct); promo-risk (low/med/high); one possible hook. Quality over quantity. Post nothing, no automation/bots, no account access. Must-have: real finance literacy (beta vs. alpha, factor/sector exposure, residual/idiosyncratic return, active share, 13F) — this is the gate. Plus taste for timely, genuine opportunities and reliable early-morning delivery (India/Europe/US-East-Coast schedules fit well). Trial: $75 fixed-price for 5 morning briefs over one week (before 7am PT, 3–5 ideas each). Strong, consistent work becomes ongoing at $15/day weekdays. Please answer the screening questions; we read those first.
