Human Interest is on a mission to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits. More than half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future. Too often, it’s because they are employed by a company that doesn’t offer a retirement plan. Human Interest is changing that by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium‑size businesses to offer employees a path to financial independence through retirement savings. We’re a high‑growth fintech company changing the retirement industry. We are backed by a number of investors, including Marshall Wace, Baillie Gifford, BlackRock, TPG (The Rise Fund), SoftBank, Glynn Capital, NewView Capital, USVP, Wing, Uncork, and more. About the role We’re looking for a data‑ and detail‑obsessed content editor to refine and grow the Human Interest voice. You’ll help us set a new bar for content quality and data governance while also helping us 10x production volume. Note: This is NOT a copywriting role. You should have the chops to rewrite a headline, rework an operational email, and drive narrative consistency. We’ve already laid the foundation for our content and editorial programs; now it’s time to scale our data program quickly and strategically. You’ll liaise between Marketing, Sales, Legal, Finance and Data teams to analyze, manage, and document troves of data—i.e., customer data, industry surveys, and third‑party sources—to identify trends and summarize findings. You’ll serve as an organizational gatekeeper by editing and fact‑checking content across the entire customer lifecycle (customer notifications, support articles, data reports, landing pages, blogs, etc.). You’ll know when to follow established standards and when to evolve processes while navigating the strict regulatory confines of the financial industry. You can catch grammatical mistakes from a mile away and coach teammates to avoid similar mistakes. You have a baseline knowledge of regulatory compliance (a background in finance, fintech, or a regulated industry is ideal) and know how to work across creative and technical teams. You have a passion for fact‑checking claims, organizing information, and upholding strict standards of precision. You’re adept at analyzing and synthesizing vast amounts of data from multiple sources and uncovering compelling storylines for upcoming content and campaigns. You can move fast while elevating our standards and inspiring others to follow. About the team People talk a lot about “culture fit.” Let’s talk about our team and what we’re looking for in our next colleague. Reporting to the Manager, Content Strategy, this is an individual contributor role, but provides an opportunity to showcase cross‑functional leadership with significant ownership and responsibility. As a key member of the Corporate Marketing team, you’ll work closely with cross‑functional teams, including Media/PR professionals, Product Marketing, Partner Marketing, and senior leadership teams. Successful candidates are collaborators who work with talented professionals—ownership, collaboration, and efficient project completion. Agile, fast iteration, and real‑time data are our trademarks. What you get to do every day Copyedit and proofread content for clarity, accuracy, and adherence to established style guides and legal requirements. Fact‑check and verify data, research, and claims to ensure all published content and communications are accurate, legally compliant, and aligned with industry and brand style standards. Juggle projects and deadlines and occasionally pinch‑hit as a content writer to help 10x campaign production and GTM initiatives. Drive data governance by streamlining documentation and auditing our growing asset library on regular cadences (quarterly updates), while maintaining a collection of internal and external sources. Serve as a critical quality control checkpoint by rapidly reviewing and editing Sales, Customer Success, and Product communications within SLAs to drive operational efficiency. Deeply understand the pain points and needs of our B2B and B2B2C target audiences (business owners, savers, financial advisors, HR professionals, etc.) and how effective communications can empower them. Serve as a brand advocate across all customer touchpoints, guide cross‑functional teams on best practices, and identify opportunities for operational efficiency. What you bring to the role 4‑7+ years of relevant professional experience in a related role (research, journalism, editing, or an information background). Unparalleled attention to detail. Lots of job descriptions mention attention to detail, but it’s critical in this role. Exceptional command of grammar, punctuation, and syntax, and strong understanding of conventions (e.g., AP Stylebook). A deep curiosity for research and data, with a track record of translating complex concepts and datasets into clear, compelling, and compliant narratives. Experience in a regulated industry like finance or fintech, demonstrating a foundational knowledge of compliance requirements and the ability to navigate them effectively. Proven ability to work autonomously and collaboratively, managing deadlines and prioritizing tasks with a high degree of ownership and self‑sufficiency. A collaborative and solutions‑oriented mindset, with a track record of partnering with cross‑functional teams (including Legal, Product, and Sales) to drive initiatives to completion. Nice to have Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Marketing, Journalism, or a related field. Experience at a fast‑paced, high‑growth startup/SaaS company. Familiarity with 401(k) and/or financial services products. Experience with a baseline content marketing (CMS, analytics) and project management (Jira, Google Suite, etc.) toolkit.
