About AlarisAlaris Acquisitions is a sell-side M&A advisory firm that works exclusively with owners of wealth management firms. We help RIA owners find the right partner and the right deal, using Applied Buyer Intelligence and our proprietary Lens platform. Our team has been part of 100+ closed acquisitions and $2B+ in seller proceeds, with zero post-close break-ups. Most M&A processes begin with a buyer list. Alaris begins with buyer intelligence.

The role: You have spent years turning what executives know into content people read and coverage people cite, and you know the small group of reporters and publications that matter in wealth management. At Alaris, you will use that skill to make the firm one of the most visible, credible and frequently cited voices in wealth management M&A.This is a full-cycle content and communications role. You will turn the knowledge, opinions, transaction experience, research and relationships of Alaris leadership into a steady stream of content and earned media. You will work directly with our CEO and Managing Partner, and you will build the content and communications function rather than inherit one.

What you will do:

Build and run an integrated content calendar across thought-leadership articles, LinkedIn, research reports, podcast and video, short-form clips, email, transaction stories, event materials, press releases and speaking decks
Interview leadership and turn a 20-minute conversation into an article, three LinkedIn posts, a short video, an email and a media pitch
Own day-to-day relationships with the reporters, editors, publications and podcasts covering wealth management M&A, and pitch market commentary, transaction trends, proprietary data, executive perspectives and firm news
Field inbound media requests, prepare executives for interviews, and build a repeatable internal PR process
Make AI tools a core part of production: video, voice and audio, repurposing, research, drafting, social, podcast production and workflow automation
Turn Alaris proprietary research into ongoing campaigns rather than one-time reports
Give the business development team content that establishes credibility, starts conversations and keeps Alaris in front of long-cycle prospects

What we are looking for:

5+ years producing executive-level content and working directly with senior executives or founders
Strong professional writing, editing and storytelling
Media relations, PR, journalism or thought-leadership experience, including direct relationships with reporters
Demonstrated use of AI tools in real production workflows, including generative audio and video platforms
Discipline to move work from idea to finished product without supervision and to manage several formats and priorities at once
High attention to detail and sound editorial judgment
Wealth management, financial services or professional-services experience, and familiarity with the wealth management trade press, strongly preferred
Experience building thought leadership from proprietary research, and hands-on video, podcast and audio production, are a plus
Bachelor's degree
Why AlarisDirect access to a CEO who is already quoted in the trade press and has more ideas than one firm can publish
Proprietary buyer intelligence and research that give you a clear point of difference in every pitch
A small, direct team where your results are visible and rewarded
Base compensation of $100,000 to $120,000, plus performance bonuses tied to results
Alaris Acquisitions is an equal opportunity employer.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
