This market, which is worth over $25 billion and growing at a rate of 300% annually, currently represents less than 0.01% of the $500+ trillion in global financial assets. RWA.xyz is the leading data platform for tokenized assets, serving as the trusted provider for major financial institutions including Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, the U.S. Treasury, and the IMF.

What You’ll Do

• Establish RWA.xyz as the authoritative voice in tokenized markets by creating research and analysis that shapes how institutions understand this emerging asset class.
• Transform our unique dataset into narratives that drive organic discovery, earn media coverage, and become required reading for anyone serious about tokenization.
• Be responsible for publishing industry-defining research, writing monthly reports on market trends, deep dives on asset classes, and data-driven analysis.
• Feed intelligence to media by building relationships with journalists at Bloomberg, Reuters, FT, and proactively pitching data stories.
• Serve as an expert source and scale content through data journalism by working with engineering to launch programmatic SEO pages for thousands of assets, creating self-updating content that dominates search.
• Amplify our viral loops by creating embeddable visualizations, quotable insights, and screenshot-worthy charts that travel across LinkedIn, Twitter, and research reports.
• Build sustainable content engines by developing repeatable frameworks for market analysis, templates for asset class deep dives, and editorial calendars aligned with data releases.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years creating content for financial or crypto audiences, preferably at a data vendor, fintech, or financial media company.
• Deep understanding of capital markets and ability to write authoritatively about bonds, credit, funds, and tokenization.
• Track record of content driving measurable impact (traffic, citations, backlinks) with examples of work that shaped industry conversations.
• Experience with data visualization and working with APIs to tell stories within datasets.
• Media relationships or demonstrated ability to earn coverage in tier-1 publications.
• Exceptional writing that makes complex topics accessible without sacrificing sophistication.
• Startup velocity — you ship daily, not monthly, and balance quality with speed.
