We’re an Australian investment platform with a mission to provide a seamless and immersive experience that breaks barriers for ambitious investors. We serve a global customer base of 500,000+ investors, with more than A$2 billion in assets under administration.

Our internal mantra is ‘never settle’ and we all share an ambition to grow this business. This is your opportunity to join a scaleup rocketing upward to become a robust financial services company.

As a Senior Markets Commentator, you'll be the authoritative face and voice of Stake’s content. Your expertise will help shape the way our audience understands and engages with the world of financial markets.

• Innovation: Bring fresh ideas for presenting market insights and analysis, exploring new formats to engage our audience.
• Thought leadership: Let your knowledge, passion and confidence shine through and establish yourself as a trusted authority on the markets in the media, to grow Stake’s brand, and build your own profile as a markets commentator.
• Education: Break down complex concepts and trends in a way that provides clear context to our audience, demonstrating what it means and why it matters.

A bit about you

• Storytelling: Exceptional skills in crafting and framing compelling narratives that contextualise market developments and trends in an insightful and engaging manner for a broad range of audience cohorts across a variety of channels and platforms.
• Data interpretation: Ability to interpret and effectively communicate data, charts, graphs and statistical information to support market insights and analysis.
• Networking: With at least five years’ experience in the industry, you’ll have a proven ability to build relationships with experts, analysts and professionals to establish yourself as a go-to source for market wisdom. You are proactive on social media and have a strong desire to grow your own brand.
• Collaboration: Experience working within a bigger team to produce well-rounded and cohesive market-focused content, with a capability to provide mentorship to more junior writers, offering constructive feedback to enhance their skills.
• Media experience: Prior experience appearing on television, radio, webinars, podcasts or other video/audio platforms, demonstrating comfort and adaptability in different media formats, is preferable. Video production experience is also favourable.
