Senior Investment Analyst

We are hiring a senior investment analyst to pick the stocks that go into our paid research reports, in-office in downtown Detroit, starting at $100,000, with part of your pay tied to whether those picks win.

Your pay has three parts. A base starting at $100,000 that goes up with your experience, a monthly performance bonus, and profit share after year one.

Heads up before you apply.

This is not an entry-level position, and it takes two steps: applying here and sending us a short video. One without the other doesn't get an interview. Why? Because most resumes look the same, and we are looking to hire the right person fast!

Tell us why you'd be good at this job, then pick one stock you have a real opinion on right now and tell us why you're right. We are not grading the call. We want to hear how you build an argument.

Put it anywhere we can watch it, like Google Drive, Dropbox, or an unlisted YouTube link.

Email the link to hello@briefs.co with the subject line Senior Investment Analyst - Video Submission. If you have published research or writing you can share, send that too.

Your phone camera is fine. So is your kitchen, one take, and whatever you're wearing right now.

Briefs Finance produces a top five financial podcast and is one of the most trusted names in financial news and education. Our premium research product is built on three report franchises, growth, income and wealth preservation. Your job is to make those reports good enough that serious people happily pay for them year after year.

What you'll own

Do you back your own judgment? Do you want to be paid on whether it was right? Do you want to own picks instead of supporting somebody else's?

If so, keep reading. This is the job for you.

This is the seat that owns picks. You will carry your own theses and you will be measured on whether they worked.

You find the shift before it is consensus. Read the macro, go where money is starting to move, talk to the people actually doing the work, and come back with a theme worth digging into. Then you do the numbers, because a trend is not a position. Once you have the theme, you go company by company until you can say which one and why. You own theses end to end, from filings and transcripts and channel checks through to a recommendation you are willing to defend in a room. You take independent, non-consensus views when the work supports it, and you show your work. You hand our editors research they can publish without losing the argument. And you sharpen the research system and the AI tools built on top of it, including the Briefs Score.

Ship research-grade output on a recurring deadline. The reports go out whether or not the week cooperated.

You will know what you're measured on. The revenue and the renewals of the research product your work drives, and whether your picks beat their benchmark. We track individual picks internally and we audit them. If the product wins because of you, you make more.

What you don't own

This is not commentary, it is not content, and it is not a support role for somebody else's research. You are not writing the articles. You are producing the research the articles are built on.

Who you are

You have picked investments with real money, or you have a personal track record you can show us and walk us through line by line. Time in a seat matters less to us than that. If you cannot identify a good investment, nothing else on a resume fixes it.

You have macroeconomic fluency. You build a coherent top-down view across growth, inflation, rates, policy, FX and geopolitics, and you translate it into sector and single-name opportunities.

You are hands-on with the major AI tools, Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini. We build with AI every day and this is not optional here.

You are comfortable on the road and comfortable in the room. Part of this job is sitting across from an operator or an executive and getting a real conversation rather than the investor relations version of one. You are willing to do primary research in person, including travel.

You are not a pushover. You will work alongside our Head of Investing Research and you will sometimes disagree with him. We want someone who can hold their ground and make the case.

Strongly preferred. Real money-management experience, whether buy side, RIA and wealth, or proprietary trading. RIA backgrounds are welcome here, because your job was picking and picking is our job too. Coverage depth in one or more of our sectors, semis and cyber and tech, space, robotics, defense, energy, plus thematic and ETF fluency. Strength in income and in wealth preservation specifically, since our growth and income work is solid and wealth preservation is where we most want to get better. Data tools, Python or SQL, financial data APIs, screening. Open-source AI models such as Qwen, Gemma, MiniMax and DeepSeek.
