Clocktower’s edge is our network.
About the Role
The Strategy team is close-knit and sits at the center of the Clocktower ecosystem. Roughly, you’ll spend your time as follows:
- 60% Outbound & inbound business development. Drive new business through sourcing and engaging qualified prospects (e.g., CIOs, Strategists, Directors of Research, Portfolio Managers, etc.), many of whom are warm leads. Full ownership over the sales cycle, from outreach through negotiation and closing, but with support from our chief strategists, the CEO, and others at Clocktower.
- 20% Content & research marketing. Package and distribute our research to clients and prospects; contributing to the research product itself through charts & visuals.
- 10% Event support. Our global conferences: prospect identification, pre- and post-event follow-up, and on-the-ground coordination.
- 10% Time to breathe. We move fast but don’t aim to churn-and-burn our teammates. Keep a hobby (we recommend surfing, but it’s not required. Reading is good, too).
You
- 2-4 years of post-undergrad experience, or 1-2 years post-master’s.
- Relevant prior roles might include business development or investor relations roles at an independent sellside research shop, investment consultant, or asset management firm. Financial journalism, or macro-adjacent policy/think tank work, are possibilities.
- A genuine interest in markets/macro, demonstrated through coursework, prior work, writing, or self-directed investing.
- Strong writing and verbal communication. You’ll be representing the research to senior institutional investors from the get-go.
- Fluency with Bloomberg, Macrobond, or FactSet is helpful; deep experience with a comparable financial/economic data and charting tool is a reasonable substitute.
- CRM experience (HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar) is preferable.
- You should be able to demonstrate ties or a genuine commitment to Los Angeles/SoCal.
- Direct exposure to senior global investors. Our clients include sovereign wealth funds, pensions, endowments, large asset managers, and global macro hedge funds. You’ll speak and meet with them regularly.
- Connectivity. You’ll report directly to the Chief Macro Strategist and work closely with Clocktower’s hedge fund team. This includes meaningful exposure to senior leadership.
- Runway. The role is designed for someone who wants a close, collaborative working relationship with a manager who is building a business function themselves.
- Growth path. The trajectory is up to you. We prefer entrepreneurially-minded individuals who want to progress and grow rapidly.
- Compensation. Base salary $90,000–$105,000, plus discretionary bonus. Compensation may vary based on experience, training, education, and scope of the role.
- Travel ~20%. These will be to financial hubs and/or what some would consider “vacation destinations”. Both meeting with clients and prospects, and for Clocktower events.
- Our office. Santa Monica, in-person. T-shirts and jeans (or whatever you’re most comfortable in). Most of us wear our Clocktower hoodies.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
