Test CTA or headline. Low thumb-stop? Change visual hook or story tension. Low retention? Adjust narrative pacing, editing style, or format Use data to do more than just swap hooks, understand why something worked or didn't Conduct customer research (reviews, testimonials, surveys) and integrate insights into creative direction ✍️ Scripting & Ideation Write high-converting UGC scripts with strong DR hooks, tension arcs, and value-driven CTAs Ideate 5-10 fresh concepts weekly for new ads across UGC, TikTok-style, founder-led, testimonials, and more Collaborate with the Head of Creative and Performance Team to ensure alignment with audience psychology and brand voice 🎬 Production + Content Creation Direct and/or assist in in-person shoots (LA-based preferred but not required) Plan set, props, talent, and shot lists to make every frame intentional Think visually and practically, how can we shoot this smarter, tighter, and more natively to platform? Step into content creation yourself when needed. ✂️ Post-Production & Iteration Guide editors with detailed notes and creative direction; understand L-cuts, jump cuts, pacing, and motion as tools to retain attention Run retention audits and identify drop-off patterns Version winning creatives across formats, durations, intros, and CTA frameworks Create briefs that actually result in better deliverables - clarity, context, and intention We're a lean team with big goals. We believe in: Speed is king Work smart, overdeliver Data before ego Better every day We don't do corporate. We move fast, make decisions, and have a lot of fun while doing it. If you want to grow fast, own outcomes, and work with passionate people, this is the place. How We Hire Initial culture & value fit interview Creative strategy test (script writing, breakdowns, and idea pitch) Final call with team/founder Offer & onboarding We aim to move within 8-10 days.

    Contrarian Thinking

    Writer job in Austin, TX

    We're looking for a sharp, multi-talented writer who can swing from spreadsheets to story arcs without breaking a sweat. Someone who's passionate about startups and can distill complex financial topics into copy that converts, content that slaps, and stories people can't stop sharing. The ideal candidate has a finance brain and a marketer's pen. You should be just as comfortable breaking down an acquisition deal as you are writing a viral tweet or distilling a wealth-building framework for 500,000+ newsletter readers. This is not a one-trick writing gig. You'll write deep-dive breakdowns. You'll write short-form social. You'll write brand messaging, newsletter intros, and downloadable guides that feel more like contraband than content marketing. You'll report to our Executive Editor, work closely with our CEO, and collaborate with teammates across media, community, and investing. If you need “ample time to noodle,” this is not the role for you. If you crave creative range, run fast, write clean, and have impeccable taste, you'll thrive here. If you worked here this month, here are some things you might have worked on: Wrote a 1,200-word acquisition breakdown that turned a trash hauling business into a must-read case study Turned that story into a 3-tweet banger that got 500k+ impressions on Codie Sanchez's Twitter Pitched a spicy new guide to help Main Street moguls get funding without begging VCs Partnered with our media and community teams to turn dry business frameworks into addictive, wealth-building cheat codes Key Responsibilities: Storytelling & Strategy: Write high-impact, voice-driven copy across newsletters, reports, case studies, and growth content that informs and converts. Content Versatility: Move seamlessly between formats - from longform newsletters to 2-line tweets to landing pages and lead magnets. Deep Research & Analysis: Bring depth. Learn industries, analyze acquisition tactics, and translate complex strategies into clean, compelling stories. Voice & Brand: Write in a tone that's sharp, contrarian, and never boring. Help refine and evolve our editorial voice as we grow. Speed & Execution: Work fast without sacrificing clarity or quality. Own your deadlines. Turn good ideas into great content - fast. Work Ethic & Attitude: We don't do drama. We don't do divas. We do what needs doing - with hustle and humility. Necessary Skills and Qualifications Here's a list of primary skills we believe are necessary for this person to succeed: Fast-paced work ethic and startup mindset Proven success writing about business or marketing Exceptional storytelling instincts and attention to detail A strong grasp of tone and voice, with examples to back it up Ability to distill complex topics into digestible insights Familiarity with finance, acquisitions, investing, and/or small business ownership Bonus: experience writing for high-growth media brands or newsletters What is Contrarian Thinking and what do we do? We free minds and build bank accounts. We're on a mission to help 1 million people become financially free and to create 100,000 small business owners. We're a digital education and media startup that has amassed 9M+ followers in 5 years (and we're just getting started!). Our YouTube channel has 1.75M subscribers. Our main newsletter is read by 800K+ people every week. Our podcast - BigDeal by Codie Sanchez - is a Top 50 business show that has grown 300% in 2025. We also produce some of the best business content on Instagram (2.5M followers), Twitter, and LinkedIn. 99% of our content is 100% free. The other 1% is how we help people become expert deal makers so they can live freer. We do this through our courses and 2k+ person global community. We also have our own investment fund, Contrarian Thinking Capital, that invests in the businesses and tech that supports SMB growth, as well as our own portfolio company, Main Street Hold Co. So, yeah, you could say we put our money where our mouths are. For more information about our Founder and CEO, Codie Sanchez, read her bio. The Contrarian Creed These are the words we stand by, live by and define what it means to be a Contrarian. People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it. Be a great f*cking human. Do what's right even when it hurts. How you do anything is how you do everything. We do the dirty work. Your word is your contract. We are Archimedes, find your lever. Winners want pressure. We want your weird. Better weird than boring. Your job isn't done until THE job is done. We work the problem. Assumptions are for assholes. Find the truth. Less words, more meaning. Even our notes are worth stealing. Make every creation a mini-masterpiece. Show me your results, not your intentions. You ready to become an official Contrarian?

If you're interested, here's more information on what we're looking for. Responsibilities Write 3 - 4 articles per month for one client Each article is usually 2,000 - 3,000 words, and takes around 2 weeks to write in between rounds of edits 90% of articles are based on a recording of an interview with a subject matter expert combined with desk research The process includes one outline, then 2 rounds of edits Edit content based on feedback Complete a comprehensive questionnaire and outline (our version of the “brief”) before writing the first draft. Acquire knowledge about our clients, their products or services and the audience we're targeting (you don't need a background in fintech or financial services!) What we're looking for You don't have to have a background in fintech or financial services - we can teach you that. What we really value is attitude and good writing. These are the 7 characteristics of the best writers that we work with at Mint Studios: You have clarity of thought. You can put together logical arguments in the written form and when you don't understand something you'll take the time to understand it. You are inherently curious. You want to understand a topic inside out. You'll do the right amount of research and ask the right questions till you feel confident writing and talking about the topic. You are detail oriented. You care about delivering something great, even when no one is watching. You're constantly thinking of the bigger picture. You like to understand how the content in the interview fits into the product, the client, and the strategy. You take responsibility for your skillset. You're always trying to become a better writer and are open to new processes and ways of working. You are empathetic. You can put yourself in the shoes of the reader and of the client. You try to understand their perspective and will ask questions if you don't. You like working with smart, fun and collaborative people where you are supported and your career is developed! You might not be a good fit if... You don't enjoy explaining complex topics. You are a creature of habit and prefer to stick to your own writing processes or are not open to learning new processes. You don't enjoy the research process (understanding the topic, product and the content strategy in depth, listening to and analysing the interview for the main takeaways, etc). You don't like asking for advice, asking questions or you are not comfortable with feedback. You are not interested in improving your writing skills The password to apply is: The Hobbit About Mint Studios Mint Studios is a content marketing agency that helps helps financial services companies acquire customers and position themselves as experts with content marketing. Our main differentiation point from other agencies is that we create content that is optimised for conversions and leads, not just traffic. We do this by creating Bottom of the Funnel content, which involves understanding our client's ideal customer and creating content that is designed to sell, not entertain. You can learn more about BOFU here: What is BOFU (Bottom of the Funnel) Content and Why Is it Important? Although we only work with financial services companies, these range from crypto, to budgeting apps, to enterprise payments companies and consultancies. You won't be writing about the same topics over and over again. These are some examples of BOFU content we've written for clients: How To Get Health Insurance As An Expat In The Philippines Paying International Vendors & Suppliers: What's the Best Way? Wave Alternative In Australia: Parpera Top corporate incubators [2023] Examples of more technical content: Top marketplace payment providers in Australia: We compare 4! Payroll payments solution: How to innovate with Modulr Marketplace fraud prevention: how to fine-tune your current system You can learn more about why we set up the agency here: Why I Set Out to Build a Financial Content Marketing Agency Why I Joined Mint Studios: Michelle Maiellaro Why I Joined Mint Studios: Elliot McGuire Mint Studios Careers Compensation and benefits of working with Mint Studios We pay $300/£250/per article to begin with, and once you're trained on our methodology and we're confident in your writing (this usually takes 3 - 4 articles) we then go to the next stage, where we pay $450/£350 per article. For our payment clients, we pay $600/£500 per article once you're trained. If you pass our “probation period”, we can offer a long-term contract (at least 6 months). We can also offer a full-time position if you're interested. We pay on-time, usually on the first Friday of the month. As long as articles are delivered on time, you can work when you want. You don't have to know about financial services (but you do have to be willing to learn). We value good writing more. You'll be able to see how your content delivers impact and helps our clients acquire customers. We give a lot of detailed feedback. You won't get vague feedback like “can you make this less confusing?”. We try to make our feedback to the point and we'll always look for ways to improve the article ourselves (so you're not left coming up with alternatives alone). You'll have the opportunity to grow: we only hire content strategists from within, and we're always looking for strategists. You'll have a chance of learning about content strategy and learning how to turn readers into leads. Interested? Apply on the next page!
