AI Investing Video Host (On-Camera) Job at Alva in New York

Alva · New York, NY, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

Alva is your AI investing agent. Research a thesis. Monitor a narrative. Backtest an idea. Automate a strategy. Alva turns any of it into a live playbook - with a team of agents watching the market 24/7 and alerting you the moment it matters. Powered by institutional-grade data from 100+ sources and a growing library of community skills and playbooks you can follow, remix, and learn from, Alva is your personal edge in all markets.

Alva was founded by a team of proven serial entrepreneurs. The founding team includes co-founders from Galxe, a major Web3 growth platform with over 30 million active users, as well as a co-founder from MiniMax, a leading frontier AI lab. The team also brings deep investment expertise from bulge bracket banks, alongside talent from UC Berkeley, the University of Pennsylvania, UCLA, and Peking University.

The role
We're looking for one person to run Alva's short-form video on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and X. You'll be on camera explaining what's happening in the market, usually on the day it happens: earnings, buybacks, Fed decisions, a stock that moved 20% before lunch.

You'll use Alva for your research, so the product will show up in a lot of your videos. We'd rather it show up because it actually helped you than because you were asked to mention it.

Nobody else works on these videos. You come up with the idea, research it, write it, shoot it, edit it and post it. That only works at the pace we need if AI tools already handle a lot of the work for you.

What you'll do

Decide what's worth covering each day. Be ready to post the same day when something big happens

Research with Alva and your own sources, and get the numbers right

Write, film, edit, caption and post everything yourself, including covers and carousels

Use AI for whatever it's good at: first drafts, rough cuts, captions, B-roll, thumbnails, turning one video into a version for each platform

Watch the numbers (views, watch time, follows, sign-ups), try new hooks and formats, and drop what doesn't work

Read the comments and use good questions as ideas for the next video

Tell the product team when something in Alva is confusing, slow or wrong, with an example

What success looks like

30 days: the channel has a recognizable format and a regular posting schedule, and you've posted your first same-day reaction video

90 days: typical views are clearly up, a few videos have taken off on their own, and people are signing up for Alva because of your videos

180 days: when something big happens in the market, retail investors check Alva's channels to understand it

What we're looking for

At least six months of posting short-form video regularly, on your own channel or as the host of a brand's channel. We care more about your typical views than your follower count

You invest your own money. You hold positions, you've been wrong before, and you can explain an earnings report, a buyback or a valuation without mistakes

You make your videos on your own today, and you can show us how: which tools you use, how long each step takes, and how you get from idea to posted in half a day or less

Native or near-native English, for a US or global English-speaking audience

You check your facts. Everything you post goes out under Alva's name

Probably not a fit if

Your channel is built on stock tips, "this will 10x" calls, guaranteed returns or meme coins

Someone else edits your videos today and you'd need that here too

You're great at reading a script but don't follow the market yourself

You only make long-form videos

Nice to have

You've hosted short-form videos for a fintech or financial media brand

You already use AI tools to research stocks or manage your own money

You can make static posts, like carousels and news cards, as well as videos

You have your own audience on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X or Substack. We're open to talking about how your channel and Alva's can work together
