We are proud to offer interesting and challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one.

ABOUT THE ROLE
The Director, Research and Content will lead the development and execution of Hut 8’s thought leadership and owned-content program. This role sits at the intersection of energy, digital infrastructure, capital markets, and communications and is responsible for translating complex, often technical topics into clear, institutional-grade research and narrative assets.
You will be responsible for building a scalable content engine that compounds Hut 8’s brand positioning and credibility over time, including the company’s flagship annual thought leadership publication, long-form and short-form written content for the Insights platform, and executive-ready narrative support tied to priority company moments. This is a high-ownership role requiring strong judgment, sharp writing, and the ability to synthesize across technical, financial, and strategic inputs.
Key responsibilities:
Thought leadership and editorial leadership
- Own Hut 8’s research and content calendar across the company’s thought leadership program
- Lead development of Hut 8’s flagship annual thought leadership asset (concept, outline, research direction, drafting, iteration, and launch support)
- Produce and publish long-form content (e.g., case studies, white papers, frameworks) that makes Hut 8’s strategy tangible and credible
- Produce and publish short-form monthly insights (approximately 750–1,000 words) that reinforce positioning between earnings cycles and major moments
Research, synthesis, and narrative development
- Conduct and direct research across energy, digital infrastructure, compute, and capital allocation themes
- Translate complex technical and financial inputs into clear, investor-grade narratives and explainers
- Build internal “source of truth” research briefs and backgrounders to support consistent external messaging
Program and stakeholder management
- Coordinate and execute research activities across internal teams (energy, finance, corporate development, technical teams, IR) to ensure accuracy and strategic alignment
- Manage external research and content partners as needed for flagship workstreams (briefing, direction, review cycles, delivery)
- Maintain high editorial standards and brand consistency in partnership with design and communications counterparts
Operational rigor and quality control
- Own drafting, editing, fact-checking, and version control for published content
- Establish efficient workflows to move from conceptualization to publication, with senior-level polish and minimal friction
Track performance signals and qualitative feedback to refine topics, formats, and cadence over time
