Ready to define the voice of crypto tax?
Koinly is where technical accuracy meets creative storytelling. If you have the editorial rigour to lead this space, we want to hear from you.
This role is a fit if…
You'e an Editor-in-Chief who thrives at the intersection of editorial excellence, SEO science, and product-led growth. You've a natural radar for quality and can spot a misaligned brand voice from a mile away. You enjoy the "puzzle" of translating complex technical topics (like crypto tax and regulation) into clear, high-trust narratives that convert. On top of that, you're a leader of people; you take pride in mentoring writers into strategists and building operational systems that allow a content team to scale without losing its soul.
The must-haves
- 8+ years of experience in content strategy and editorial leadership, specifically within B2B or B2C SaaS (fintech experience is a significant advantage).
- Editorial excellence: A portfolio that demonstrates "Gold Standard" quality: flawless C2/Native English, a sharp eye for tone of voice, and the ability to edit technical drafts into compelling stories.
- SEO as a second language: Deep expertise in keyword research, intent mapping, and executing content strategies that move the needle on organic rankings and traffic.
- Proven leadership: Experience managing and scaling a mix of in-house talent and freelance contributors. You know how to set SLAs, give constructive feedback, and build a high-performing culture.
- Operational rigor: You don’t just "publish"; you build frameworks. You are comfortable designing workflows, content calendars, and distribution systems.
- Data-informed mindset: You are comfortable with analytics tools and can translate raw performance data into a strategic "what’s next" for the roadmap.
Bonus Points (nice-to-haves)
- Crypto/Tax Native: You already understand the crypto ecosystem or have experience in a highly regulated space like tax or finance.
- Multi-format mastery: Experience leading video strategy (YouTube/Shorts), webinars, or podcasts.
- Technical SEO: Knowledge of site migrations, schema, or core web vitals.
- Multilingual: Fluency in French or German, or experience managing localization programs.
Probably not a fit if you:
- Are primarily a writer looking to move into strategy for the first time. We need an established leader who has already owned a roadmap.
- Prefer a highly structured corporate environment with reliance on thorough guidance and direction.
- View SEO as "keyword stuffing" rather than a holistic user-experience and growth framework.
- Are uncomfortable with the technical or "dry" nature of tax and compliance content.
- Prefer working in a vacuum; this role requires heavy collaboration with Product, Customer Support, and Partnerships.
- No prior experience in B2B or B2C SaaS.
✔️ Don’t tick every single box? Neither do we 🤷
At Koinly, we hire for ambition and strategic "gut" as much as we do for years on a CV. We celebrate unconventional career paths and "outside the box" thinking. If you’re a brilliant storyteller who doesn't perfectly match every bullet point but knows you can lead this engine, please apply anyway, because we want to hear your vision.
That said, there are two hard gates for this role:
- Proven content leadership: You must have owned an editorial roadmap and managed a team (internal or freelance), where you’ve moved past "just writing" and have spent years successfully leading content strategy and SEO-driven growth for a tech product.
- Editorial mastery: You possess C2/Native-level English and the "Editor-in-Chief" rigor required to sign off on high-stakes compliance and tax content.
Success outcomes: your first 90 days
The first 45 Days: foundation & alignment
In your first six weeks, success is defined by your ability to diagnose the current state of Koinly’s content engine and establish the "Gold Standard" for future output.
- Immersion & subject matter expertise: Complete product and compliance training to navigate the nuances of crypto tax; identify the key pain points of our personas.
- Comprehensive content & talent audit: Perform a "state of the union" on all existing assets (Web, Blog, YouTube, PR) and team capabilities to identify gaps in quality, SEO, and conversion logic.
- Editorial north star: Launch a unified Content Playbook that defines our brand voice, editorial standards, and quality-control workflows for all internal and external contributors.
- Operational quick wins: Identify and launch one high-impact content experiment (e.g., a new distribution tactic or a high-intent comparison page) to validate ROI early.
- Cross-functional sync: Establish recurring feedback loops with Product Marketing, Support, and Partnerships to ensure the content roadmap serves the entire business.
The 90-day vision
By the end of your first quarter, you will have moved from auditing to scaling. You will own a predictable, data-backed content machine where every piece of content -from a technical tax guide to a good-performing social thread- serves a specific purpose in Koinly’s growth engine.
