About the job
We’re looking for a senior content writer who is passionate about – and maybe even a little obsessed with – the US college admissions process. You’ll spend the next two months writing articles to help students perfect their personal statements. This is a remote freelance position, so you can live and work from anywhere!
You’ll help us launch a new Knowledge Base category for the Scribbr website focused on writing personal statements and similar essays. Your goal is to write helpful content and help us reach our target audience: students who are applying to or attending an undergraduate college in the United States.
For this project, you will...
- Develop a content strategy
- Identify the right SEO keywords to help us reach our audience
- Brainstorm topics for a package of well-structured, content-rich and interconnected articles
- And produce these articles for our Knowledge Base!
We are looking for somebody who can work full-time (or close) on this project for the next two months. If you are a good fit, then we will reach out to discuss your availability and hourly rate. If the project is successful, there is room to discuss additional work, as we are looking to expand our resources for US students.
We focus on writing 10x content that will launch our pages to the top of Google’s search results. We track the performance of this content using SEO tools and Google Analytics. You’ll walk away with some high-ranking articles for your portfolio!
About you
You have a crystal clear writing style and write in flawless American English, and you have deep, first-hand knowledge of the college admission process in the US: these requirements are non-negotiable for this role.
In addition to these core qualifications...
- You have excellent project management skills
- You are attentive to detail and obsessed with quality
- You enjoy diving into topics and learning them inside and out
- You are comfortable giving and receiving constructive feedback
- You are tech- and design-savvy and quick to learn your way around tools
- You have experience with SEO strategy and writing content that ranks
- You are self-motivated and comfortable working as part of a remote team
- You are available for calls during Central European Time working hours
We are looking for a native speaker of American English. However, this position is remote, so you can live and work from anywhere. If you're eager to hit the ground running, take ownership of your role and help students succeed – then apply now!
Want to join our team as our new senior content writer?
You’ve gone through the college admissions process yourself, so you know first-hand the pressure that high school students face during this time, and you can speak their language to write content that lands. Plus, you have the experience to hit the ground running with 10x content – and the portfolio to prove it. 🚀
Sound like you? Join our essay team, and take on the challenge of launching a new Knowledge Base category for the Scribbr website. Your work will be read and appreciated by hundreds of thousands of students every month.
