We The Flywheel is hiring: Creative Copywriter & Storyteller — Remote in New Yor

We The Flywheel · New York, NY, USA · Remote ·

Job type:
Freelance

Flywheel Motion

is what we do. We work with mission-aligned founders and executives to bring their personal and corporate brands to life and grow them. Five phases (Discovery Strategy Build Activation Performance) run by a director-led team.
The people we work with are doing real work in the world: climate, deep tech, science-led business, founder-led organizations whose ideas should travel further than they currently do.

We The Flywheel

is the studio behind it. We are fully remote, fully async, and spread across every timezone — and AI is in everything we ship.
The Role

We want a genuinely good

human writer

on the team — someone whose native-English prose carries a client's voice, wins the pitch, and reads like a person wrote it. You'll be the writer behind the words that go out into the world on our clients' behalf:

pitches, proposals, website copy, PR pitches, press releases, scripts , and the stories that tie a brand together.
You use AI fluently to research, structure, and move faster — but you don't lean on it to think or write for you. You know the difference between AI-assisted and AI-generated, and everything that ships under your name reads unmistakably human. This starts as a

part-time trial and grows to full-time

for the right person.
What You'll Do

Write the persuasive stuff: new-business pitches and proposals that win work, and the follow-through copy that keeps it moving
Craft

website copy

— homepages, landing pages, about pages, product narratives — that sounds like the founder and converts the reader
Own the

PR surface : press releases, media pitches, contributed articles, award and speaker submissions
Write

scripts

for video, podcast, and social — and enrich long-form pieces with the right multimedia (imagery, clips, callouts, captions)
Sit close to strategy and shape a client's

narrative and messaging

— the throughline that makes everything else sound like one voice
Use AI to research targets, gather source material, draft faster, and self-edit — then bring the human judgment, taste, and originality AI can't
Who You Are

Native / mother-tongue English.

Not fluent — native. Your copy needs no editing pass for idiom, rhythm, or register
Genuinely creative

— you find the angle, the line, the hook. You can write a founder's keynote and a product tagline in the same week
Leverages AI, doesn't rely on it.

AI is your research assistant and first-draft accelerant, never your ghostwriter. You can tell — and prove — the difference
Entrepreneurial and innovative

— you take a brief and run, spot opportunities, and improve the how, not just do the what
Multimedia-fluent

— comfortable enriching writing with imagery, video, and audio, and scripting for those formats, not just prose on a page
Fully async, timezone-independent

— you thrive working with a global team across every timezone, clear in writing, accountable without supervision
Based in a lower cost-of-living region

(e.g. Latin America, South Africa, Southeast Asia) — ideally with reasonable overlap with US/European client hours, while collaborating fully async and globally
What We Need to See (Required)

Writing samples

— a portfolio or a few links that show your range across persuasive, brand, and PR/editorial writing
Published pieces

— bylines, contributed articles, press coverage you wrote, or client work you can attribute (strongly preferred)
A short note on

how you use AI in your process

— and where you deliberately don't
Experience (Preferred)

3+ years writing professionally — copywriting, brand, content, journalism, PR/comms, or comparable hands‑on work
Experience writing for founders, executives, or subject‑matter experts as your client or co-author
Comfort across formats — long‑form, web, social, script, press — rather than a single lane
Familiarity with modern AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and the like) as part of a real working process
Details

Hours Part‑time during trial (~10–20 hrs/week), growing to full‑time
Compensation In line with our freelance rates for lower cost‑of‑living markets — competitive for your region, not US/EU coastal rates hourly or monthly retainer
Duration Ongoing — trial first, then long‑term for the right fit
Level Mid‑Senior individual contributor
Working hours Async & timezone‑independent; a base with reasonable US/EU overlap is a plus
Language Native / mother‑tongue English
Location Fully Remote — worldwide, lower cost‑of‑living regions
