Student Writers​/Editors & Chief Operating Officer; COO – Voluntary

Macro Sfera is a student‑led media platform focused on geopolitics, macroeconomics, and financial markets. We publish weekly analysis written by students, for students, who want to engage seriously with global affairs, policy, and markets, particularly those interested in careers in finance, economics, public policy, consulting, or international relations.

As we enter a new phase, we are restructuring Macro Sfera into a more formal editorial organisation with clear leadership, divisions, and publishing cadence. We are now seeking students to join both our editorial team and core leadership, including a COO, six regional and topic editors, and student writers.
