4 Pillar Trading is a live financial-markets education platform built around four areas of professional market analysis:

• macroeconomics;

• company and asset fundamentals;

• options and trading strategies;

• portfolio construction and risk management.

Members participate in live sessions led by experienced market mentors, supported by an online community and an ongoing programme of market education.

We are looking for a junior financial-markets research assistant to help our mentors and content team prepare useful, accurate and accessible material for our member community.

The opportunity

This is a paid, remote, part-time position suited to someone with a serious interest in financial markets who wants practical exposure to how experienced market professionals research, discuss and communicate market ideas.

You do not need to be a professional trader. We are more interested in intellectual curiosity, sound judgement, careful research and the ability to explain complex subjects clearly.

The role does not involve managing client funds, providing personalised financial advice or trading company capital.

Responsibilities

Depending on your experience, your work may include:

• researching upcoming macroeconomic events and market-moving announcements;

• preparing concise summaries of economic data, company results and market developments;

• assisting with preparation for live educational sessions;

• producing written summaries and key takeaways after sessions;

• fact-checking statistics, dates, charts and source material;

• monitoring economic calendars, earnings announcements and relevant market news;

• organising research across macro, fundamental, options and portfolio topics;

• turning longer mentor discussions into clear educational notes;

• suggesting discussion topics and community prompts;

• helping maintain an organised internal research library;

• assisting with educational articles, newsletters and short-form content.

What we are looking for

You may be a university student, graduate, self-directed trader, finance professional or career changer.

You should have:

• a genuine interest in financial markets;

• a basic understanding of shares, indices, macroeconomics or options;

• strong written English;

• an ability to distinguish reliable sources from speculation;

• careful attention to detail;

• an organised and dependable working style;

• the ability to meet agreed deadlines while working remotely;

• comfort receiving feedback and revising your work.

Experience with any of the following would be useful but is not essential:

• TradingView;

• Bloomberg, Reuters or other market-data platforms;

• Excel or Google Sheets;

• financial modelling;

• options terminology;

• economic-data research;

• investment writing;

• video or podcast content production;

• online community platforms.

What you will receive

• paid part-time work in a financial-markets education business;

• direct exposure to experienced market mentors;

• complimentary access to relevant 4 Pillar Trading sessions while engaged;

• structured feedback on your research and written work;

• flexible remote working arrangements;

• the opportunity to expand your responsibilities as the platform grows.

Complimentary platform access is provided as part of the role. Applicants are not required to purchase a membership, course or subscription at any stage of the application process.
