We obsessively design and build delightful products that help our clients buy, sell, secure, and use Bitcoin.
We are looking for a Host & Producer to be the main face of River's video content and to bring our videos to life across various channels. You'll present our videos on camera with the warmth and authority of a trusted guide explaining money. You’ll shoot many of these videos yourself, occasionally working with contractors for bigger projects. Our audience is people who are navigating the reality that our money is slowly losing its value; your job is to make them trust us enough to hear the answers. The main goal of the channel is not to promote River’s products, it is to create valuable content you would enjoy watching.
You'll report to River's Director of Marketing and work closely with our Video Content Strategist, who writes the scripts you'll present.
River is growing quickly and has raised more than $50 million from leading investors, including Goldcrest, Kingsway, Polychain, M13, DG, and Valor. We have also released our company's financials publicly, so that all of our clients and employees can verify the robustness and growth of the business themselves.
Be the recognizable face of our videos. Present medium length scripted videos with the clarity, warmth, and authority that make viewers trust you and keep watching.
Shoot your own footage, anywhere the journey takes us. Own the production quality in any location you shoot from, as video content won’t be studio-based.
Produce shoots end to end. Plan, scout, and run the logistics that get us high-quality footage on schedule.
Own the craft edit. You define the color, sound, B-roll, and motion-graphics direction — and direct our editor so the finished video keeps the energy of the moment it was shot.
Conduct interviews for feature-style videos when a story calls for it.
Collaborate with the Video Content Strategist to make every script land in your natural voice.
On-camera presence. You can deliver scripted explainers and make a stranger feel like a friend is walking them through their money.
The ability to make complex topics feel simple and human on camera.
Proven self-shooting ability. A portfolio of footage you shot and produced yourself, not just appeared in.
Production skills. Framing, lighting, and audio you can execute well without a crew.
A strong sense of ownership and a bias for iteration to keep getting better each video.
Curiosity about money and Bitcoin, and eagerness to become genuinely conversant, so that it shows on camera.
Integrity. You will, quite literally, be one of the main faces of our brand.
Editing skills (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut).
Motion graphics or animation experience.
A background in finance, economics, or journalism.
Interviewing experience.
Annual salary range of $110-160k depending on experience
Competitive compensation and equity
Unlimited Paid Time Off
Parental leave, separate from PTO policy
Medical, dental, and vision insurance + 401k for US based employees
Remote option: You can work from anywhere in the U.S, but your base should be in New York City to be close to leadership and several team members for a variety of productions.

We are looking for a Video Content Strategist to build River's YouTube channel and video output. You will own what we make and how we package it: sourcing and selecting ideas, writing host-led scripts, and crafting the titles and thumbnails that decide whether our work gets watched. Our audience is people who are navigating the reality that our money is slowly losing its value; your job is to make them trust us enough to hear the answers. The main goal of the channel is not to promote River’s products, it is to create valuable content you would enjoy watching.
You'll report to River's Director of Marketing and work closely with our Host-Producer, the marketing team, and company leadership.

We have also released our company's financials publicly, so that all of our clients and employees can verify the robustness and growth of the business themselves.
Own the video content pipeline. Generate and filter video ideas, sourcing input from across the marketing team and our extensive research.
Own packaging of the titles and thumbnails. You'll craft them and test them.
Write scripts for medium to long form videos that make money and Bitcoin topics clear, engaging, and impossible to click away from. Some videos will be host-led, others animated.
Develop hooks and introductions to retain the audience and provide structure.
Ensure the story edit matches the script in structure and pacing.
Drive our success metrics on YouTube: view count, retention, and returning-viewer rate, and iterate relentlessly on what the data tells you.
Build the systems that let us produce quality content consistently: The idea backlog, filtering process, scripting process, and a testing loop for titles and thumbnails.
A track record of growing a video channel, your own or one you led. Not just script writing, but ideas and packaging that measurably moved views and retention.
An obsession with packaging. You study titles and thumbnails, you have real opinions about why videos win or lose, and you can prove your craft with examples.
Exceptional writing and storytelling. You can take a dense economic idea and make a stranger care about it in a single sentence.
A strong understanding of the YouTube algorithm, retention curves, and click-through rate.
You have a solid understanding of Bitcoin in the economic sense, and what makes it an answer to many of the financial problems the world faces.
A strong sense of ownership. You own the idea end to end, you gather input from the team, but the call is yours, and you stand behind the result.
You have integrity and know how to present the facts honestly and the brand professionally.
On-camera, interviewing, or hosting experience.
A background in finance, economics, or journalism.
Annual salary range of $110-165k depending on experience
Competitive compensation and equity
Unlimited Paid Time Off

At River we are building the world’s most trusted financial institution to empower people to take ownership of their financial lives through Bitcoin, the world’s only incorruptible digital money. We believe in a future where every person will have bitcoin savings, and every business will have bitcoin on the balance sheet. We obsessively design and build delightful products that help our clients buy, sell, secure, and use Bitcoin. We hold ourselves to a standard of trust and transparency that matches the seriousness of the money we're entrusted with.
River currently operates under state money transmitter licenses, and we're raising the bar on what a world-class compliance program looks like at every stage of our growth, including as we pursue an OCC national trust charter. We're looking for a Chief Compliance Officer to build and own that program end-to-end: someone who can manage our day-to-day compliance and regulatory obligations with rigor, serve as our BSA Officer, support the charter effort, and be a trusted voice with regulators, examiners, and bank partners as River grows into its next chapter.
River is growing quickly and has raised more than $50 million from leading investors, including Goldcrest, Kingsway, Polychain, M13, DG, and Valor. We have also released our company's financials and proof of reserves publicly, so all of our clients and employees can verify the robustness and growth of the business themselves.
Lead and grow River's team of compliance analysts, setting the bar for how the team operates, hires, and develops
Serve as River's BSA Officer, owning the BSA/AML and sanctions (OFAC) programs end-to-end, including policy, monitoring, investigations, and reporting
Build and maintain River's compliance policies and procedures across the business, and run a company-wide training program that keeps pace with how River and the regulatory landscape are changing
Own River's compliance risk assessment, and ensure the output drives cross-functional project prioritization to address gaps
Develop and run an independent compliance testing and monitoring function, separate from day-to-day BSA monitoring
Maintain River's state money transmitter licenses (MTLs), including renewals and license-specific exam readiness, while driving River's OCC national trust charter process forward with executive leadership, outside counsel, and consultants
Own River's relationships with regulators and compliance leadership with our bank partners
Manage all regulatory exams, audits, and third-party assessments, from prep through remediation
Own compliance sign-off on new products and features before launch, so compliance is built in, not bolted on after the fact
Build repeatable, scalable compliance systems and processes, not one-off fixes, so the program holds up as River grows
Advise the executive team and Board on regulatory strategy and emerging risk, proactively rather than reactively
Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Product, and Engineering to embed compliance into how River builds
Act as a culture carrier for River, modeling how we think about trust, honesty, and rigor internally, not just in front of regulators
Deep experience building and running compliance programs at a regulated financial institution, ideally with BSA Officer experience
A track record of managing regulatory exams and audits, and building genuine, durable relationships with regulators and bank partners
Direct experience with OCC processes; charter application experience is a strong plus
A systems thinker, someone who solves the root problem and builds the process that prevents it from recurring, rather than patching the symptom
Strong people leadership with experience building, managing, and developing a team of analysts
Excellent communicator, equally comfortable in a room with examiners, the Board, or an engineer debugging a control
Strategic and proactive, you see around corners on regulatory risk rather than waiting for it to arrive
A client-first mindset, you see compliance as a way to protect and serve clients, not just satisfy a regulator, and you look for ways to say yes without compromising the program
A genuine culture carrier, someone who raises the bar for how the people around them think and work
Comfortable with ambiguity and the pace of a fast-growing company building something that hasn't been built before
