The Senior Content Strategist will be responsible for driving the direction of SoFi’s newsletter program, including a wide variety of campaigns and content programs connected to it. We are looking for someone with demonstrated experience managing a newsletter, content product, or editorial program <em>as a business</em>, not just as a publication.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If you love transforming vision into reality, thrive in complex cross-functional environments, and happily design operating models for new programs from scratch, this role is for you. Newsletters and educational email are one format in SoFi’s rich and evolving multimedia content engine, so overseeing this program requires multidisciplinary content marketing expertise.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You understand that a newsletter, email bootcamp, or fin lit curriculum must earn its place in a subscriber's inbox — and that doing so requires a deep understanding of your audience. You'll use audience insights and performance data to ensure every issue, feature, and supporting asset delivers genuine relevance and utility. You are an expert communicator, an entrepreneurial operator, and a data-literate strategist who knows how to measure what matters and use those insights to drive meaningful change.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Ideally you have experience with personal finance and investing focused content, with practice translating complex concepts into digestible stories across multiple formats. Fluency with AI-assisted tools is a requirement, as you'll design and operate workflows that use AI to accelerate research, sourcing, and production. Awareness of and connection with industry—content, media, and financial technology—will ensure SoFi’s content program is innovative and culturally aware.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You'll join a brand-oriented content team whose mission is to make financial knowledge and empowerment more accessible. In a world of misinformation, our goal is to deliver credible, clear, and compelling intelligence and insight.</span></p> <h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What you’ll do:&nbsp;</span></h3> <h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Strategy &amp; Direction</span></h3> <ul> <li style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Define and own the strategic vision for SoFi's newsletter program, setting a clear direction that balances audience value with business impact — and evolving that direction based on performance insights.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Build and maintain a compelling business case for the newsletter program; present it with authority to senior stakeholders, adapting your narrative for marketing leaders, product partners, and executives alike.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Develop and execute a subscriber growth strategy that spans organic, paid media, paid social, lifecycle marketing, and content syndication across external platforms — managing campaign oversight end-to-end from creative asset production to performance analysis and recommendations for next steps.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Leverage audience insights and performance data to ensure the newsletter consistently delivers relevance to our target readers, iterating on content strategy as those insights evolve.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Identify opportunities to expand the newsletter portfolio with the introduction of new content products, bringing creativity and innovation to the vision, planning and execution of these new ideas.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Identify opportunities for AI integration across content sourcing, creation, and distribution phases of workflow.
