Open Positions

MARKETING & OUTREACH COORDINATOR

Part-Time (12–20 hours/week)  |  Providence, RI (In-Office)  |  Growth Path to Full-Time

WE ARE BUILDING A WORLD-CLASS COMPANY.

Somewhere out there is a person who doesn’t want just a job—they want to put their fingerprint on something that matters. They want to go home at the end of the day and say: I helped this company grow today. They want to be recognized and compensated for their contribution, and they want to be proud of their achievements and what they helped the company achieve every day.

If that’s you, keep reading.

Equity Risk Sciences (ERS) has built something the financial industry has never seen: proprietary quantitative systems that rate the statistical probability and magnitude of stock price changes on more than 15,000 stocks using probability theory, actuarial science, and data science—encompassing tens of billions of data points across 40 years of daily price history.

Our founder, Raymond Mullaney, is a 49-year investment industry veteran whose work has been featured on the front page of The New York Times, in Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, and dozens of other publications. His research has been formally submitted to the SEC. Ray is now the author of two books: Burden of Proof (burdenofproof.law) and IBM: Nobody Looked (ibmnobodylooked.com), and the founder of “The Fiduciary Mandate,” a public-interest advocacy initiative dedicated to one principle: every American investor has the legal right to know the statistically-measured probability and magnitude of loss before their savings are placed at risk (thefiduciarymandate.org).

Every major financial data provider—Bloomberg, FactSet, Morningstar—gives investors raw data and says, “Figure out what it means.” ERS is different. We translate complex financial risk signals into clear, actionable downside-risk probability ratings. We’ve identified many of the causes of stock losses, codified them, and built the systems to detect them before they happen.

We are building the Moody’s of stock risk. We are raising $20 million. We are on a trajectory toward becoming a nationally recognized brand—and eventually a public company. The person who fills this role will be at the center of that growth story.

THE ROLE

We’re hiring a Marketing & Outreach Coordinator to work from our Providence office two to three days per week, approximately three to six hours per day. You will be the operational engine behind our outreach—managing our CRM, executing targeted communications campaigns, coordinating capital raise support, and serving as a professional ambassador for ERS to the outside world.

You will work closely with our CEO, who will direct strategy and priorities. But between those interactions, you will be largely self-directed: executing the plan, learning the landscape, and building the systems that allow ERS to reach the people and institutions that need to hear from us.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own the CRM. Manage our entire contact database—categorizing individuals and institutions by type, maintaining accurate records, and ensuring every interaction is logged. You must be fluent in CRM platforms (Salesforce, HubSpot, or equivalent) from day one.
• Execute targeted outreach at scale. Send tailored emails, hard-copy letters, and research reports to hundreds of contacts every week—one at a time, carefully targeted, never mass-blasted. Different audiences receive different materials.
• Learn our audiences. You will quickly master the difference between the types of individuals we reach and the types of institutions. Each audience has different needs, and you’ll learn which reports and materials go where.
• Support capital raise activities. Distribute our pitch deck to targeted investors and institutions. Understand subscription documents and the mechanics of fundraising. You won’t be selling—but you need to understand the landscape and be comfortable sending materials to the right people, in the right way, every single day.
• Work the phones. Call publishers to find the right editor for our manuscript. Call media contacts to introduce our research. Call institutional prospects to identify decision-makers. You must be confident, articulate, and poised on the phone. Every conversation is a chance to establish rapport and represent ERS with professionalism.
• Manage the CEO’s calendar and meeting preparation. Know who the CEO is meeting, what reports they’ll need, and what the purpose of each interaction is. Prepare materials in advance so every meeting is productive.
• Promote our subscription services and free resources. Understand what we sell, how our subscription model works, and how to direct prospects to our free ValueRatings.com platform as a gateway to deeper engagement.
• Leverage AI tools. Use AI actively to research, draft, learn, and amplify your effectiveness. Every hour in a part-time role must count. We expect you to work smarter, not just harder.
• Build systems that scale. Track results, refine approaches, and create repeatable outreach processes that will grow with the company.

WHO YOU ARE

• CRM-experienced. You have hands-on experience with Salesforce, HubSpot, or a comparable platform. You know how to manage a large database of contacts and execute outreach campaigns to dozens or hundreds of recipients per week. This is non-negotiable.
• Confident and well-spoken. You pick up the phone without hesitation. You introduce yourself and the company with poise. You are not shy—you are assertive, professional, and self-assured.
• An exceptionally fast learner. There is a lot to learn at ERS—different audiences, different materials, different institutional types, different purposes. You absorb information quickly and retain what you learn. We do not have time for someone to learn what the job is while they’re doing it.
• Detail-obsessed. Every person you contact, you document. Every report you send, you know why you sent it and to whom. Every email, every letter, every phone call reflects on ERS. Attention to detail is the standard.
• Hungry. You want to be a star. You want to affiliate with a world-class growth story and put your fingerprint on its success. You don’t just count what you earn—you measure how much the company grew because of your contribution.
• College-educated with a degree in public relations, marketing, communications, journalism, or a related field—or equivalent professional experience that demonstrates the same capabilities.
• Familiar with the investment industry. You know what an RIA is. You understand what an IPO means. You have at least a working knowledge of how public companies, brokerage firms, and institutional investors operate—or you are determined to learn it immediately.

TWO PATHS IN

We recognize that the right candidate may come from one of two backgrounds:

Path 1: The proven professional. Your recent roles have been in PR, marketing, communications, or CRM management. You’ve run outreach campaigns. You’ve managed large contact databases. You know this work because you’ve done it.

Path 2: The exceptional newcomer. You may be a recent graduate or early-career professional with limited experience—but you are so bright, so driven, and so compelling in how you present yourself that it’s impossible to ignore you. If this is you, don’t just send a resume. Write a cover letter that shows us who you are. Then call Ray and make your case. If you’re not hungry enough to pick up the phone, this isn’t the role for you.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

ERS is not a large corporation offering you a cubicle and a title. We are a high-growth company with proprietary technology that works, a founder with a 49-year track record, and a clear path to becoming a nationally recognized brand.

The person who proves their value in this role will not remain part-time. As ERS scales, this position is designed to grow into a full-time, well-compensated marketing and communications leadership role. Top performers will be eligible for stock options in the company.

If the idea of joining a pre-IPO company at the ground floor—one that is building something the financial industry has never had—doesn’t excite you, this isn’t the right fit. But if it does, this is the kind of opportunity that changes a career.

DETAILS

• Schedule: 2–3 days per week in-office, 3–6 hours per day (flexible scheduling).
• Location: 10 Dorrance Street, Suite 700, Providence, RI 02903.
• Start Date: Immediate.
• Growth Path: Designed to become a full-time marketing and communications leadership position as ERS scales.
• Compensation: Commensurate with experience. Exceptional performers will be eligible for stock options.

HOW TO APPLY

Send your resume and a brief cover letter (no more than one page) to Ray@ERS.ai. Tell us why this opportunity excites you, what you would bring to ERS, and why you’re the person who will help us grow.

We don’t need a novel. We need to see that you can write clearly, think strategically, and communicate with the kind of confidence and professionalism that this role demands.

And if you’re the kind of person who goes beyond the resume—who picks up the phone, who follows up, who makes themselves impossible to overlook—that tells us something important about who you are.

PUBLIC RELATIONS ASSOCIATE

Part-Time (5–20 hours/week)  |  Providence, RI (Hybrid/Remote)

WE HAVE A STORY. WE NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN’T WAIT TO TELL IT.

If the Wright Brothers had hired you before anyone knew they'd invented the airplane, your job would have been to make the world believe that two brothers from Dayton, Ohio had done something that had never been done before — and to be so credible, so clear, and so compelling that people believed you.

That’s the job.

Equity Risk Sciences (ERS) has done something that most people in finance don’t believe can be done. We’ve built quantitative risk and performance ratings that have demonstrated strong, repeatable predictive power in extensive historical testing across multiple market cycles. For professionals who understand what that term means, it changes everything. For those who don’t yet understand it, your job is to help them see why it matters.

Our work is built on probability theory, actuarial sciences, accounting, mathematics, and data science — encompassing tens of billions of data points across more than 15,000 stocks over 40 years of daily price history. In long-horizon historical simulations, our approach has produced results comparable to ~21% annualized versus ~9% for the S&P 500 (methodology available on request). Our founder was elected to the White House Conference on Small Business and attained many other distinctions. His work has been featured on the front page of The New York Times and in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes and dozens of other publications. Our research has been submitted formally to the SEC.

Every major financial data provider — Bloomberg, FactSet, Morningstar — gives investors information and says, “Here’s the data. Figure out what it means.” ERS is different. We translate complex financial risk signals into simple downside-risk probability ratings. You cannot avoid losses unless you can first identify what causes them. We’ve identified many of the causes, codified them, and built the systems to detect them. We’re not aware of another platform that delivers the same combination of downside-probability and downside-magnitude ratings at broad market scale.

THE MISSION: BUILD A NATIONAL BRAND

We believe the foundation of this company’s success is becoming a national brand. We aim to become the go-to independent name in stock downside risk—analogous to what Moody’s and S&P represent in bonds. We want investors, fiduciaries, and institutions to think of Equity Risk Sciences as America’s Independent Stock Risk Rating Agency™.

The person we hire must define this as their personal goal: making ERS a nationally recognized name in investment risk. This is not a support role. This is the beginning of a brand-building campaign, and you will be at the center of it.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

ERS writes reports on stock risk and opportunity. Our founder has been doing this for nearly 50 years, and there is an abundance of published articles and research about his and our work online. Your job is to get these reports — and our story — into the hands and minds of the people who need to see them.

• Distribute our proprietary stock risk research reports to targeted audiences: financial media, Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), SEC and FINRA regulators, legislators, fiduciaries, and institutional investors.
• Build relationships with the media. Get on the phone. Call editors. Say, “I’m sending you a report — I think your readers will find it valuable. I’ll follow up in a couple of days.” Then follow up. Our founder has been published in major magazines, journals, and mainstream press. Those relationships exist. Your job is to reactivate them and build new ones.
• Identify and reach our best audiences. Fiduciaries — professionals charged with the care of someone else’s financial well-being — are our core audience. These are the most dedicated, most caring financial professionals, and our tools help them communicate and manage risk more clearly, and differentiate their process with quantitative support than competitors who guess at stock selection or rely on Wall Street’s opinions.
• Craft tailored outreach for different audiences. The pitch to a Bloomberg reporter is not the same as the pitch to an RIA managing $500 million, which is not the same as the pitch to a congressional staffer on a financial services committee. You will learn to speak each language.
• Help your audience understand why “statistically significant” matters. To a professional, it means: the ratings have provided more success than one could possibly imagine based on random chance alone. Your job is to communicate that concept clearly, in language any audience will understand, regardless of their technical background.
• Use AI and modern tools to amplify your effectiveness. We expect the person in this role to actively leverage AI to research, draft, refine, learn, and execute more effectively than would be possible without it. Every hour matters in a 5–20 hour week.
• Track results, refine the approach, and build systems for outreach that can scale as ERS grows.

WHO YOU ARE

We are looking for an individual — or a small, ambitious PR firm willing to take on a client at a minimal monthly retainer with the understanding that significant growth is coming. Either way, here is who we need:

• Confident, not shy. This role requires someone who will pick up the phone, pitch an editor, follow up with a legislator’s office, and do it all with professionalism and poise. You are not a salesperson. You are a credible professional communicating something important.
• Enthusiastic about the story. The person we hire has to believe that ERS has a story they can’t wait to tell. If you read about what we’ve built and don’t feel a spark of excitement, this is not the right fit.
• Willing to learn the substance. You don’t need a finance degree. But you do need to successfully grasp two fundamental concepts: the strength, liquidity, and durability of a company versus its valuation ratios. Understanding why both matter — and why most of the industry only looks at one — is what makes our message compelling. We will teach you, but you must be the kind of person who learns quickly and retains what you learn.
• Professional and detail-oriented. Attention to detail is non-negotiable. Every email, every report distribution, every media pitch reflects on ERS. You represent the company. Excellence is the standard.
• A recent graduate or early-career professional with a degree in public relations, communications, journalism, or marketing — or a small firm with relevant expertise and an entrepreneurial appetite for a high-growth client.
• Someone who understands something about the investment industry and financial media — or who is determined to learn it rapidly. Familiarity with the financial press, investment advisory community, or regulatory landscape is a meaningful advantage.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

ERS is currently raising $20 million, beginning with a $2 million SAFE offering. The founder has a 49-year track record. This is a company with proprietary technology that works and a clear trajectory toward becoming a nationally recognized brand.

The person or firm that performs this role successfully will not remain part-time. When ERS is fully funded, we will have a full-time public relations professional — someone who talks to the media every day of the week, who coordinates interviews, who manages press strategy, and who sits at the leadership table. The person who proves their value now, at the ground floor, is the person who will fill that role.

To put it plainly: someone who performs this role successfully will become a highly paid professional at this firm.

Imagine a restaurant with a brilliant chef in the kitchen and nobody in the front of the house. Somebody has to tell the world what we’re cooking. That somebody could be you.

DETAILS

• Hours: 5–20 hours per week (flexible scheduling).
• Location: Providence, RI (10 Dorrance Street, Suite 700). Hybrid/remote flexibility available.
• Start Date: Immediate — we are looking to bring someone on within one week.
• Growth Path: This role is designed to become a full-time, well-compensated PR leadership position as ERS scales.

HOW TO APPLY

Send your resume and a brief cover note (no more than one page) to Ray@ERS.ai explaining why this story excites you and what you would bring to ERS. If you’re a firm, include a brief overview of your relevant experience and a proposed monthly retainer.

We don’t need a novel. We need to see that you can write clearly, think strategically, and communicate with the kind of confidence and professionalism that this role demands.
