SEO Intern - Cantonese Fluency

Founders today are building global companies from day one — but the systems that manage their money were built for a different era. Aspire exists to change that! We’re building the financial operating system for global founders, bringing banking, software, and automation into a single platform so businesses can move faster across borders and stay focused on building. Aspire is built by people who think from first principles, care deeply about solving hard problems, and take real ownership of their work. Our team brings global experience from leading fintech and technology companies, and many of us are former founders and operators who understand what it takes to build thoughtfully, make trade-offs, and deliver at scale in a global environment. Backed by leading global investors including Y Combinator, Peak XV, and Lightspeed, Aspire has been trusted by more than 50,000 startups and growing businesses worldwide to manage their finances since 2018. Together with partners like J.P. Morgan, Visa, and Wise, we’re building for the next generation of global companies.

This team is the engine behind our organic growth, ensuring that when businesses look for financial solutions, Aspire is the first name they see. We are looking for a wordsmith who is equally obsessed with storytelling and data-driven growth. You will work alongside experts to create content that doesn’t just rank on page one, but truly resonates with the local Hong Kong market and beyond. Content Excellence: Crafting, optimizing, and localizing compelling articles and guides that speak directly to our target audience (SMEs, startups, and finance teams). Keyword Strategy: Assisting in keyword research to identify high-potential topics and content gaps within the HK and regional business ecosystem. SEO Optimization: Auditing existing content to improve meta tags, internal linking, and readability to boost organic rankings. Local Market Insight: Ensuring our content is culturally relevant and optimized for local search behavior (Traditional Chinese/Cantonese and English). Performance Tracking: Using tools like Google Analytics and Search Console to monitor content performance and suggest data-backed improvements. Market Research: Keeping a pulse on competitors’ content strategies and staying updated on the latest SEO trends and algorithm shifts. Minimum Qualifications A Bachelor's degree (current or completed) preferably in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, or a related field. Native or professional fluency in Cantonese (Traditional Chinese) and English is a must. You should be comfortable writing and editing in both languages. A demonstrated interest in SEO; previous experience with keyword research tools (e.g., Ahrefs, SEMrush) or CMS platforms (e.g., Webflow, WordPress) is a significant plus. Preferably a strong portfolio or previous experience in content creation, copywriting, or editorial work. An ability to look at data and understand why a piece of content is or isn't performing.
