Deputy Editor, Crypto (Contract)

Nashville Public Radio, New York, NY, United States


About The Role SoFi is launching a weekly crypto newsletter for everyday investors interested in crypto ownership, long-term investing, and the future of finance. We are seeking a Deputy Editor to lead this editorial franchise and serve as a primary crypto editorial voice for SoFi — overseeing the newsletter's voice, curation, aesthetic, and execution, while also developing a broader portfolio of crypto education content across formats.

This is an opportunity to build a unique editorial franchise at the first and only nationally chartered bank where consumers can bank, borrow, invest, and buy, sell, and hold crypto.

This role is ideal for a journalist with deep crypto subject matter expertise — someone who can report authoritatively on markets, regulation, and infrastructure — and an editorial instinct to translate that expertise into a must-read weekly. Equally important is fluency with AI‑assisted tools: you’ll design and operate workflows that use AI to accelerate research, sourcing, and production, while ensuring every word published is human‑reported, human‑written, and human‑edited. This is not an AI‑generated newsletter; it’s a human one, built by someone who knows how to use every tool available.

SoFi’s mission is to help people get their money right. The Educational Content team’s role is to show members how through content that’s credible, relatable, and empowering. We believe financial literacy unlocks ambition, and we build resources that help members feel confident about both their money and the products they use to manage it.

This is a full‑time contract position.

Provide an authoritative, independent editorial voice that keeps readers reading

Report on the most important stories shaping crypto markets and infrastructure

Translate crypto concepts and developments into accessible, investor‑focused insights

Cultivate interviews, market insights, and op‑eds from contributing partners

Maintain a tone that is educational, practical, and aligned with SoFi’s mission to help members get their money right

Develop crypto education content across formats (:25% of your time)

Extend your crypto editorial expertise into other SoFi content formats, including explainers, guides, multimedia assets, and special editorial projects

Build AI‑enabled editorial workflows

Design and operate editorial workflows that use AI to accelerate research, idea generation, and production — with every output reviewed, rewritten, and owned by you. All content is 100% human‑written and edited; AI is a production tool, not a co‑author.

Leverage data and your own creativity to drive experiments with new formats and features to improve newsletter quality and performance

What You’ll Need Deep crypto subject matter expertise

Expertise in crypto markets, blockchain infrastructure, and digital asset investing

Knowledge of regulation, stablecoins, custody, DeFi, and institutional adoption

Newsletter Leadership Experience

Proven experience writing and/or editing successful newsletters

Ability to package complex topics into concise, engaging editorial formats

Strong instincts for audience engagement and editorial prioritization

Broad editorial range

Comfort working across content formats beyond the newsletter (including explainers, Q&A, scripts, guides, etc.)

Ability to adapt voice and depth to different editorial contexts while maintaining a consistent POV

Experience collaborating with cross‑functional teams on editorial projects

AI‑native editorial mindset

Commitment to maintaining the highest editorial standards

Experience using AI tools to support research, production, and editorial workflows

Comfort building (and experimenting) with AI‑assisted production and processes

Understanding that AI accelerates your work but doesn’t replace your voice, judgment, or byline

Exceptional writing and editing skills

Ability to translate complex financial topics into clear, accessible language

Strong sense of newsworthiness and narrative framing
