THE ESSENTIALS

Location: 100% remote

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 9am–6pm, US Pacific, Central, or Eastern time

Language: Flawless written and spoken English

If any of these don't work for you, this role isn't the right fit, and that's okay.

WORDS THAT WORK
Good copy doesn't just sound nice. It gets someone to act.

We're looking for a writer who can take a topic and turn it into:

a blog post people actually finish,

a subject line people actually open,

a page that makes someone click instead of leave.

You won't be here to fill a content calendar. Everything you write will have a job to do, and you'll know what that job is before you start typing.

The industry and platforms may change depending on the business you support. The standard doesn't: you write for results, not word count.

WHAT YOU'LL WRITE
Blogs: SEO-friendly articles that inform readers and move them toward a decision.

Emails: Sequences designed to be opened, read, and acted on.

Website copy: Clear, engaging pages that keep people reading.

Ads: Short, sharp copy with a clear conversion goal.

Research-based content: Complex or unfamiliar topics made simple for anyone.

You'll use ChatGPT or similar tools to move faster. Your editorial judgment decides what gets published.

YOU'RE A FIT IF YOU HAVE

4+years of professional writing experience across blogs, email, web, and/or ads

A portfolio of published work you personally wrote

Flawless English, with grammar, tone, and structure that don't need a cleanup pass

The judgment to know when AI output should be rewritten, challenged, or thrown out

The ability to learn a new topic fast and explain it clearly

Bonus: SEO knowledge

NON NEGOTIABLES
Reliable internet, plus a backup plan when it fails

You show up on time, every time

If a deadline is at risk, you say so before it passes

You follow through without anyone needing to chase you

OUR HIRING PROCESS
We read every application. Answers that are generic, copied, or fully AI-generated are declined. We want to hear from you.

WHAT YOU GET

A clear, fixed rate: $2,000/month, no guesswork

Full remote flexibility with a stable Monday–Friday schedule

Real ownership of your work, from first draft to published piece

Writing with purpose: every piece is built to get a response
