Crypto Researcher

We are looking for a Crypto Researcher to sit at the heart of our daily content, owning the research that shapes what we say on air and the trade ideas we put in front of our community. 

This is a commercially accountable role. Your work directly influences the quality, credibility and tradability of everything we publish. You will be expected to spot narratives before they break, pressure-test ideas with data, and turn raw market noise into clear, actionable insight.

This is a remote-first (based anywhere in the world) role aligned to South African Standard Time (SAST). Given the 24/7 nature of crypto markets, you will need to be comfortable researching outside traditional hours to stay ahead of developments.

What you'll do

• Track the markets around the clock Stay informed on global events that could impact markets, with a particular focus on cryptocurrency trends. Keep on top of macroeconomic shifts and how they may influence market movements. Because our markets never sleep, being online and researching outside standard hours is crucial to staying ahead of potential developments.
• Research with rigour Critically assess new trends, emerging narratives and trade ideas, employing a logical and data-driven approach. Develop a deep understanding of current market conditions, including ongoing trades, popular narratives and the key news stories that may influence trends.
• Read market sentiment Stay on top of the latest industry launches and evolving trends, and conduct sentiment analysis to understand overall market sentiment. Engage actively with various platforms, offering insights and commentary on their usability and potential.
• Shape the daily shows Identify the key question or topic of the day, what most people in the community are focused on or curious about. Working as part of the team, curate and design the daily script, documentation and narrative for each daily show, ensuring the utmost quality and professionalism. Be active and prepared for any research-centric calls.
• Deliver actionable insight Seek out actionable, tradable information that community members can use to make informed decisions and learn from. Implement business suggestions and strategies as the role develops.

Your skills and experience

• Crypto fluency. A deep, hands-on understanding of cryptocurrency markets, narratives and culture. You live and breathe this space.
• Research and analysis. A logical, data-driven approach to assessing trends, narratives and trade ideas, with the discipline to separate signal from noise.
• Macro awareness. Comfortable connecting macroeconomic developments to crypto market movements and explaining why they matter.
• Sentiment reading. Experience analysing sentiment across social platforms and communities to gauge where the market's attention sits.
• Communication. Able to turn complex research into clear, concise scripts, documentation and narratives suited to a live audience.
• Pace and adaptability. You thrive in a fast-moving, 24/7 environment and can flex your hours around the market.

Personal Attributes

• Genuinely curious and plugged into the crypto community and wider conversation
• Self-starting and proactive, comfortable owning your own research agenda
• Calm under pressure and energised by a fast pace
• A team player who takes pride in the quality of what goes out the door

We use AI-assisted tools to help manage and review applications. A human is always involved in every hiring decision.
