Job Description

Are you a wizard with words? Do your fingers fly across the keyboard, weaving compelling narratives and persuasive prose? Is your idea of a fun evening diving into research on topics ranging from the latest tech trends to ancient history? If you're nodding along, then you might just be exactly what we're looking for! This is a temporary contract role.

We're looking for a copywriting maestro adept at stringing words together and can charm clients with their linguistic prowess—someone who can switch between tones and voices as easily as a chameleon changes colors. In essence, we need a strategic, creative, and versatile writer who's as passionate about crafting engaging content as they are about the Oxford comma.

You will:

• Be a research ninja, using tools like Ahrefs and Moz to delve into a myriad of topics, from the intricacies of blockchain to the secrets of perfect sourdough.
• Be an editing eagle, spotting and correcting grammatical missteps and transforming good writing into great writing.
• Implement content strategies that don't just meet the mark but set new standards.
• Optimize content not just to exist but to excel in the search landscape.
• Adapt your writing voice to match the unique persona of each client.

You should have some or all of the following attributes:

• Degree in a field where writing is king (think English, Journalism, Communication, History, etc.).
• Experience with a web Content Management System, with bonus points for WordPress wizards.
• A track record of writing and promoting content that makes the web a more interesting place.
• An eagle eye for grammatical errors and a magical touch in editing.
• A portfolio that showcases your writing prowess across the web.
• The ability to thrive as a lone wolf and part of a pack.
• Bonus: Experience with SEO or content tools like Moz, SEMrush, MarketMuse, etc.

Guidelines for Your Application:

• Alongside your resume, we want a cover letter that's more than just words on a page. It should capture your journey and passion for this role. Don't forget to talk numbers – we mean your salary expectations.
• Handling Attachments: If you're juggling files and can only send one, combine your resume and cover letter. Extra points for work samples – links are your friends.
• The Weight of the Cover Letter: This isn't just a hoop to jump through. It's your first impression. Make it count. No cover letter, no review.
• Note on ‘Quick Apply': This feature can be a bit of a wild card. Make sure you've ticked all our boxes – we can't consider incomplete applications.
• Adherence to these guidelines isn't just recommended - it's essential. Miss out, and you miss the chance to join us. And that would be a downer for everyone.

Work Location & Benefits:

Our home base is in downtown Raleigh, NC, but we're flexible. Work from home, a coffee shop, or our office – your call if you're in the U.S. (EST preferred).

We're an equal-opportunity employer, celebrating diversity and committed to creating an inclusive environment for all.
