Editorial Content Lead

About the company

Quant is the foundation of the blockchain economy.

 

Assets of all kinds, from currencies to carbon credits, are being tokenised, making their ownership immutable, their provenance traceable and their use manageable. Our patent-pending technology makes this simple, trusted and future-proof.

 

We work with financial institutions and corporates to dramatically reduce their time-to-market, create new revenue lines, and mitigate risk by delivering enterprise-grade solutions built with security and compliance front of mind.

 

Founded in 2018, Quant is UK-based with a US presence. We spearheaded the Blockchain ISO Standard TC307 adopted by 57 countries and solved interoperability with the creation of the world’s first blockchain-agnostic API gateway, Overledger.

The Marketing team

Small and agile, the Quant marketing team is focused on raising Quant’s market profile, explaining and illustrating the many benefits and use cases for blockchain in finance, and ultimately generating sales leads. To do so, we run a digital-first, content-led marketing operation that revolves around a content hub on our website and amplification through digital channels – owned, shared and paid for. The team is also responsible for all other communications, PR and events.

The role

We’re pioneers in what is effectively a new market segment, so a large part of our marketing involves educating our audiences using a wide variety of news, opinion and research-based content.

 

As Quant’s in-house Editorial Content Lead, you’ll be taking on an important and expansive role that provides an opportunity to help build Quant’s narrative and reputation, sharpen our positioning and messaging, and – perhaps most importantly – tell our stories in clear and compelling fashion. You will be a key member of the Marketing team and work closely with thought-leaders across our business, notably our CEO, CPO, Head of Innovation, Head of Sales as well as other Quant experts in finance, technology, policy, legal, human resources and standards.

 

Taking charge of our editorial process, your focus will be on planning then delivering a regular flow of high-quality content that seeks to demystify blockchain and explain the practical benefits of its use in financial markets. As you do so, you’ll need to consider the different audiences we serve (financial institutions, corporates, channel partners and developers) and adapt your work accordingly.

 

This is a full-time global role, based in London, reporting directly to our Chief Marketing Officer. Although initially an individual contributor role, for the right person, over time it has the potential to evolve into a managerial position, in line with company growth.

Our shared values

We have expertise in finance and technology in common but what unites us is our beliefs. We believe in:

 

Innovation: We love a challenge and have little respect for the status quo. Experience has taught us that problems are a matter of perspective and that, with new ideas and a fresh way of looking at things, solutions often present themselves.

 

Ambition: The scale of a task won’t deter us when we believe it will take as closer to our vision. Every problem is an opportunity. Every obstacle, the chance to take a calculated risk and question assumptions. In short, we’re not afraid to think big.

 

Trust: Fundamental to a prosperous economy, trust also lies at the heart of our company. Indeed, we believe it is the bedrock of a healthy society committed to equality and fairness. We trust each other, we engineer trust into our solutions, and we work hard every day to earn the trust of our clients and partners.

 

Adaptability: We remain open-minded, objective and flexible at all times. When the facts change, so does our approach. We embrace that agility and encourage all those we work with to do the same.

 

Respect: We’re respectful of the ideas and perspectives of others, we celebrate people’s differences and recognise their achievements. We also hold the needs and health of our environment dear. And we have no tolerance for bullying, harassment, or discrimination of any kind.
