Part‑Time (12–20 hours/week) | Providence, RI (In‑Office) | Growth Path to Full‑Time

Somewhere out there is a person who doesn’t want just a job—they want to put their fingerprint on something that matters. They want to go home at the end of the day and say: I helped this company grow today. They want to be recognized and compensated for their contribution, and they want to be proud of their achievements and what they helped the company achieve every day.

If that’s you, keep reading.

Equity Risk Sciences (ERS) has built something the financial industry has never seen: proprietary quantitative systems that rate the statistical probability and magnitude of stock price changes on more than 15,000 stocks using probability theory, actuarial science, and data science—encompassing tens of billions of data points across 40 years of daily price history.

Our founder, Raymond Mullaney, is a 49‑year investment industry veteran whose work has been featured on the front page of The New York Times, in Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, and dozens of other publications. His research has been formally submitted to the SEC. Ray is now the author of two books: Burden of Proof (burdenofproof.law) and IBM: Nobody Looked (ibmnobodylooked.com), and the founder of “The Fiduciary Mandate,” a public‑interest advocacy initiative dedicated to one principle: every American investor has the legal right to know the statistically‑measured probability and magnitude of loss before their savings are placed at risk (thefiduciarymandate.org).

Every major financial data provider—Bloomberg, FactSet, Morningstar—gives investors raw data and says, “Figure out what it means.” ERS is different. We translate complex financial risk signals into clear, actionable downside‑risk probability ratings. We’ve identified many of the causes of stock losses, codified them, and built the systems to detect them before they happen.

We are building the Moody’s of stock risk. We are raising $20 million. We are on a trajectory toward becoming a nationally recognized brand—and eventually a public company. The person who fills this role will be at the center of that growth story.

THE ROLE
We’re hiring a Marketing & Outreach Coordinator to work from our Providence office two to three days per week, approximately three to six hours per day. You will be the operational engine behind our outreach—managing our CRM, executing targeted communications campaigns, coordinating capital raise support, and serving as a professional ambassador for ERS to the outside world.

You will work closely with our CEO, who will direct strategy and priorities. But between those interactions, you will be largely self‑directed: executing the plan, learning the landscape, and building the systems that allow ERS to reach the people and institutions that need to hear from us.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Own the CRM. Manage our entire contact database—categorizing individuals and institutions by type, maintaining accurate records, and ensuring every interaction is logged. You must be fluent in CRM platforms (Salesforce, HubSpot, or equivalent) from day one.

Execute targeted outreach at scale. Send tailored emails, hard‑copy letters, and research reports to hundreds of contacts every week—one at a time, carefully targeted, never mass‑blasted. Different audiences receive different materials.

Learn our audiences. You will quickly master the difference between the types of individuals we reach and the types of institutions. Each audience has different needs, and you’ll learn which reports and materials go where.

Support capital raise activities. Distribute our pitch deck to targeted investors and institutions. Understand subscription documents and the mechanics of fundraising. You won’t be selling—but you need to understand the landscape and be comfortable sending materials to the right people, in the right way, every single day.

Work the phones. Call publishers to find the right editor for our manuscript. Call media contacts to introduce our research. Call institutional prospects to identify decision‑makers. You must be confident, articulate, and poised on the phone. Every conversation is a chance to establish rapport and represent ERS with professionalism.

Manage the CEO’s calendar and meeting preparation. Know who the CEO is meeting, what reports they’ll need, and what the purpose of each interaction is. Prepare materials in advance so every meeting is productive.

Promote our subscription services and free resources. Understand what we sell, how our subscription model works, and how to direct prospects to our free ValueRatings.com platform as a gateway to deeper engagement.

Leverage AI tools. Use AI actively to research, draft, learn, and amplify your effectiveness. Every hour in a part‑time role must count. We expect you to work smarter, not just harder.

Build systems that scale. Track results, refine approaches, and create repeatable outreach processes that will grow with the company.

WHO YOU ARE

CRM‑experienced. You have hands‑on experience with Salesforce, HubSpot, or a comparable platform. You know how to manage a large database of contacts and execute outreach campaigns to dozens or hundreds of recipients per week. This is non‑negotiable.

Confident and well‑spoken. You pick up the phone without hesitation. You introduce yourself and the company with poise. You are not shy—you are assertive, professional, and self‑assured.

An exceptionally fast learner. There is a lot to learn at ERS—different audiences, different materials, different institutional types, different purposes. You absorb information quickly and retain what you learn. We do not have time for someone to learn what the job is while they’re doing it.

Detail‑obsessed. Every person you contact, you document. Every report you send, you know why you sent it and to whom. Every email, every letter, every phone call reflects on ERS. Attention to detail is the standard.

Hungry. You want to be a star. You want to affiliate with a world‑class growth story and put your fingerprint on its success. You don’t just count what you earn—you measure how much the company grew because of your contribution.

College‑educated with a degree in public relations, marketing, communications, journalism, or a related field—or equivalent professional experience that demonstrates the same capabilities.

Familiar with the investment industry. You know what an RIA is. You understand what an IPO means. You have at least a working knowledge of how public companies, brokerage firms, and institutional investors operate—or you are determined to learn it immediately.

TWO PATHS IN
We recognize that the right candidate may come from one of two backgrounds:

Path 1: The proven professional. Your recent roles have been in PR, marketing, communications, or CRM management. You’ve run outreach campaigns. You’ve managed large contact databases. You know this work because you’ve done it.

Path 2: The exceptional newcomer. You may be a recent graduate or early‑career professional with limited experience—but you are so bright, so driven, and so compelling in how you present yourself that it’s impossible to ignore you. If this is you, don’t just send a resume. Write a cover letter that shows us who you are. Then call Ray and make your case. If you’re not hungry enough to pick up the phone, this isn’t the role for you.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT
ERS is not a large corporation offering you a cubicle and a title. We are a high‑growth company with proprietary technology that works, a founder with a 49‑year track record, and a clear path to becoming a nationally recognized brand.

The person who proves their value in this role will not remain part‑time. As ERS scales, this position is designed to grow into a full‑time, well‑compensated marketing and communications leadership role. Top performers will be eligible for stock options in the company.

If the idea of joining a pre‑IPO company at the ground floor—one that is building something the financial industry has never had—doesn’t excite you, this isn’t the right fit. But if it does, this is the kind of opportunity that changes a career.

DETAILS

Schedule: 2–3 days per week in‑office, 3–6 hours per day (flexible scheduling).

Location: 10 Dorrance Street, Suite 500, Providence, RI 02903.

Start Date: Immediate.

Growth Path: Designed to become a full‑time marketing and communications leadership position as ERS scales.

Compensation: Commensurate with experience. Exceptional performers will be eligible for stock options.

WE HAVE A STORY. WE NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN’T WAIT TO TELL IT.
If the Wright Brothers had hired you before anyone knew they’d invented the airplane, your job would have been to make the world believe that two brothers from Dayton, Ohio had done something that had never been done before — and to be so credible, so clear, and so compelling that people believed you.

That’s the job.

Equity Risk Sciences (ERS) has done something that most people in finance don’t believe can be done. We’ve built quantitative risk and performance ratings that have demonstrated strong, repeatable predictive power in extensive historical testing across multiple market cycles. For professionals who understand what that term means, it changes everything. For those who don’t yet understand it, your job is to help them see why it matters.

Our work is built on probability theory, actuarial sciences, accounting, mathematics, and data science — encompassing tens of billions of data points across more than 15,000 stocks over 40 years of daily price history. In long‑horizon historical simulations, our approach has produced results comparable to ~21% annualized* versus ~9% for the S&P 500 (methodology available on request). Our founder was elected to the White House Conference on Small Business and attained many other distinctions. His work has been featured on the front page of The New York Times and in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes and dozens of other publications. Our research has been submitted formally to the SEC.

* The 21% annualized return figure was generated using an earlier, superseded version of the ERS ratings. The study validates the directional methodology; it does not project current platform performance.

Every major financial data provider — Bloomberg, FactSet, Morningstar — gives investors information and says, “Here’s the data. Figure out what it means.” ERS is different. We translate complex financial risk signals into simple downside‑risk probability ratings. You cannot avoid losses unless you can first identify what causes them. We’ve identified many of the causes, codified them, and built the systems to detect them. We’re not aware of another platform that delivers the same combination of downside‑probability and downside‑magnitude ratings at broad market scale.

THE MISSION: BUILD A NATIONAL BRAND
We believe the foundation of this company’s success is becoming a national brand. We aim to become the go‑to independent name in stock downside risk—analogous to what Moody’s and S&P represent in bonds. We want investors, fiduciaries, and institutions to think of Equity Risk Sciences as America’s Independent Stock Risk Rating Agency™.

The person we hire must define this as their personal goal: making ERS a nationally recognized name in investment risk. This is not a support role. This is the beginning of a brand‑building campaign, and you will be at the center of it.

WHAT YOU’LL DO
ERS writes reports on stock risk and opportunity. Our founder has been doing this for nearly 50 years, and there is an abundance of published articles and research about his and our work online. Your job is to get these reports — and our story — into the hands and minds of the people who need to see them.

Distribute our proprietary stock risk research reports to targeted audiences: financial media, Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), SEC and FINRA regulators, legislators, fiduciaries, and institutional investors.

Build relationships with the media. Get on the phone. Call editors. Say, “I’m sending you a report — I think your readers will find it valuable. I’ll follow up in a couple of days.” Then follow up. Our founder has been published in major magazines, journals, and mainstream press. Those relationships exist. Your job is to reactivate them and build new ones.
