What are the responsibilities and job description for the Social Media and Content Coordinator position at PEAK6?
Who We Are
We are PEAK6, a leading investment firm, using technology to find a better way of doing things. The company’s first tech-based solution was developed in 1997 to optimize options trading, and over the past two decades, the same formula has been used across a range of industries, asset classes, and business stages to consistently deliver superior results. Today, PEAK6 seeks transformational opportunities to provide capital and strategic support to entrepreneurs and forward-thinking businesses. PEAK6’s core brands include PEAK6 Capital Management, PEAK6 Strategic Capital, Apex Fintech Solutions, FOCUS, We Insure, Evil Geniuses, Poker Power, Zogo, and Bruce Markets.
About This Role
The PEAK6 AI Strategies team is looking for our first creative, culturally tuned-in Social Media & Digital Content Coordinator to help build our digital presence. This is not a role for someone who wants to manage a content calendar and call it a day — we want someone who thinks like a builder, brings genuine curiosity to the work, and is excited to figure things out in real time.
We are actively building new products through our PEAK6 Trials program and we need a captive audience ready when they launch. This role is central to building that audience. Reporting directly into the Head of AI Strategies, you will be at the intersection of content creation, organic social, and community development. The right person does not necessarily come from a traditional marketing background — we are just as interested in people who have created content independently, come from journalism or storytelling, or have run experiments in other fast-moving environments.
This role will be based in our Austin HQ and work in a hybrid 3x a week in office.
What you’ll do:
We offer a robust package of employee perks and benefits, including healthcare benefits (medical, dental and vision, EAP), competitive PTO, 401k match, parental leave, and HSA contribution match. We also provide our employees with a paid subscription to the Calm app and offer generous external learning and tuition reimbursement benefits. As a hybrid workforce, we offer our employees the ability to work remotely up to two days a week.
PEAK6 is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity), national origin, age, disability, veteran status, marital status, or any other protected characteristic. Our hiring practices ensure that all qualified applicants receive fair consideration without regard to these characteristics.
PEAK6 is committed to creating an inclusive and accessible workplace for all candidates, including those with disabilities. We are dedicated to ensuring equal employment opportunities and providing reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities. If you require reasonable accommodations to participate in the application or interview process, please contact our HR department at hrpeak6@peak6.com. We will work with you to provide the necessary accommodations to ensure your full participation in our hiring process.

This role will be based in our Austin HQ and work in a hybrid 3x a week in office.
What you’ll do:
- Own content across our active social platforms with an eye toward what actually performs on each
- Be present and ready to capture content at PEAK6 events, office moments, and key company milestones — filming, light editing, and publishing in real time
- Bring ideas to the table, not just execution; we want someone who spots opportunities and moves on them
- Support efforts to deepen audience engagement beyond the feed — helping develop content and calls-to-action that move interested followers toward more invested community spaces
- Help design recurring content formats, event tie-ins, and touchpoints that build a following over time, not just one-off impressions
- Keep a pulse on platform trends, emerging content formats, and what is resonating in the fintech and AI space.
- Assist with pulling weekly and monthly performance data across social platforms — compiling metrics like reach, engagement, and follower growth into easy-to-read summaries for the marketing team. Help identify patterns and flag content that's resonating.
- 0–1 years in social media, content, or a related field — internships, independent projects, or a personal creative practice all count
- Active, informed presence across major social platforms — you understand the culture of each, not just the mechanics
- Clear, concise writing with an instinct for platform-native copy
- Comfort with basic photo and video capture on mobile
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
- Collaborative and low-ego — you are here to make the work better, not protect your ideas
