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—but 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 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.

• →

• 5-8+ years of hands-on experience creating content and managing social channels.

• A portfolio or examples of social-first content you have personally created, including examples that demonstrate your ability and comfort appearing on camera.

• End-to-end creator skills: you can concept, script, shoot, and edit with speed, precision and intention.

• Strong on-camera presence: You are comfortable speaking directly to camera and becoming a recognizable, recurring presence across Acorns' social channels.

• End-to-end creator skills: You can concept, script, shoot, edit, package, and publish compelling social content with speed, precision, and intention.

• Strong short-form video production skills, including mobile-first shooting, framing, lighting, audio, pacing, transitions, captions, and platform-native editing.

• A restless creative mind: you're already thinking about the next format, the next platform, the next idea nobody's tried yet.

• Experience with creative tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Canva. You don't need to be a motion designer, but you should be able to independently turn an idea into polished social content.

• Strong understanding of Instagram and TikTok, including platform-specific formats, trends, algorithms, audience behavior, and creative best practices. Experience with YouTube, Reddit, LinkedIn, and emerging platforms is a plus.

• A creator's instincts with a strategist's brain: you understand why something works, not just that it worked.

• Self-starter energy: you don't wait for perfect briefs. You see an opportunity and make something.

• Culturally fluent: you know what's trending before it peaks, and how to make Acorns part of the conversation.

• Real empathy for our community: you care about the people on the other side of the screen and how Acorns shows up for them.

• Thirst for delivering game-changing products. A belief that your work is tied to your life's mission.

• Fintech knowledge is a plus, not a requirement. Your social media instincts matter more than your industry background.

You are not expected to have experience with all listed requirements. If you feel passionate about Acorns' mission, vision, and values, please apply.
