Content Writer - remote

SEO Sherpa
Posted 3 years ago
We are looking for a seriously talented content writer to join our growing team of content specialists.

In the role, you will be researching, strategizing, and writing content for an awesome pool of clients in markets as diverse as fashion and fin-tech to automotive and travel.

Your writing will be mostly premium blog content, written either as guest posts for third-party websites or as owned "branded" content for the client’s site. Every post will be different, with the majority being 800-1200 words in length, but some up to 5,000 words long.

You may also be assigned other writing tasks like ad copywriting and editing from time to time.

We should mention, we value "Content Sherpas" from all backgrounds and experiences for this role. We have former freelancers, journalists, editors, bloggers, and more in our content team.

If you're an exceptional writer (or on your way to becoming one), we encourage you to submit an application.
