Be the Voice—and Face—of Financial Wellness on Social Media

Acorns is the voice of financial wellness for the up-and-coming. We're hiring the person to lead that voice on social.

The world doesn’t need another brand telling people how to spend their money. Social media is already filled with that. The perfect ad, the latest must-have, the endless scroll of things designed to separate people from their money.

Social media drives behavior—and why does it only push people to spend? With the right message, the right timing, and the right approach, it can do more than sell—it can help people build better habits, shift their mindset, and take control of their financial future. Bringing financial wellness into culture starts with how we educate, entertain, and inspire— that’s what this role is all about.

This is a creator role first and foremost. You’ll be a recurring on-camera presence for Acorns, creating original social content from concept through publish. You should be equally comfortable speaking directly to camera, scripting a strong hook, shooting and editing a video, reacting quickly to a cultural moment, and understanding why a piece of content performed.

This role reports to the Sr. Director of Brand Marketing.

Acorns is a remote-first organization, offering the flexibility to work remotely while providing optional access to office space in Irvine, CA.

This role is about original creation, experimentation, and velocity. You’ll be hands-on from concept to publish—developing ideas, scripting, shooting, appearing on camera, editing, writing hooks and captions, and reacting in real time.
