TITLE:Remote Content Writer jobs – Full‑TimeSenior Content Creator & Copywriter (Remote) – $70K‑$95K • WordPress, Ahrefs, Canva • Based in St. Marys, Georgia --- We’re a seven‑person editorial team that grew out of a modest newsletter we launched from a spare bedroom in St. Marys, Georgia three years ago. When we hit 50,000 subscribers, the inbox flooded with requests for deeper how‑to guides, product comparisons, and videos that explained the “why” behind our data. That surge forced us to move from ad‑hoc article drafts to a structured content pipeline, and now we’re looking for aRemote Content Writer who can own both the long‑form pieces that land on our blog and the bite‑size copy that lights up our newsletters.Why the role exists now? Our SEO traffic has climbed 42 % year‑over‑year, but the next growth tier depends on publishing at least 5 high‑quality, research‑backed articles per week while keeping a 90 % on‑time delivery rate. In plain terms, we need someone who can turn raw data into stories that rank, convert, and get shared—without sacrificing the editorial voice that got us to St. Marys, Georgia in the first place. What you’ll spend a typical day doing - Draft, edit, and publish 2‑3 long‑form (1,200‑2,000 word) client‑focused articles each weekday, following a content brief that includes keyword targets, competitor analysis, and a clear call‑to‑action.- Collaborate with our SEO specialist to embed Ahrefs and Surfer SEO insights directly into the copy, ensuring each piece hits a target keyword difficulty below 30 and a readability score above 70. - Use WordPress and HubSpot to format posts, add meta‑descriptions, schedule social snippets, and tag the appropriate taxonomy so the site stays organized for the engineering team that supports the backend. - Conduct quick interviews with product managers and subject‑matter experts via Zoom, then distill their insights into concise, jargon‑free explanations that still feel authority‑driven.- Manage a content calendar in Notion and keep sprint tickets up‑to‑date in Jira, so the rest of the team knows exactly which drafts are in review, which need graphics, and which are ready for publishing. - Review and polish copy from freelance contributors, applying a consistent tone‑of‑voice guide we’ve built over the past year. - Run light‑weight A/B tests on headline variations in Google Docs, then share the results with the data analyst during our weekly Slack stand‑up. - Create simple visual assets in Canva when a story calls for an infographic or a social‑ready image—no need to be a designer, just comfortable moving pixels around.- Track performance metrics (organic clicks, time on page, bounce rate) in the monthly Content Dashboard and surface any trends that suggest a pivot in our strategy. What success looks like after your first 90 days - Deliver at least 60 published pieces that each meet our “SEO‑ready” checklist, driving a cumulative 15 % lift in organic traffic to core landing pages. - Reduce average turnaround time per article from 4 days to 3 days while maintaining a 98 % accuracy rate on citations and data points.- Establish a repeatable workflow with the design team that cuts the time spent on graphic requests by roughly one‑third. - Contribute to a quarterly content audit that identifies three under‑performing topics and proposes fresh angles, leading to a 5 % improvement in conversion rates on those pages. Who you are - You’ve spent 3‑5 years writing for SaaS, fintech, or B2B audiences, and you can comfortably switch between a conversational blog voice and a more formal technical manual style. -Your portfolio includes at least five published pieces that rank on the first page of Google for a medium‑tail keyword (you can share the URLs).- Proficiency with WordPress, HubSpot, Google Docs, and a grammar‑checking tool such as Grammarly is a given. You also feel at home pulling data from Ahrefs, Surfer SEO, or similar platforms to inform your keyword strategy. - You’re comfortable with visual storytelling basics—Canva, basic SVG editing, or creating simple charts in Google Sheets won’t intimidate you. - You thrive in a remote, asynchronous environment: you manage your own schedule, meet deadlines, and keep communication clear in Slack and Jira.- You have a knack for turning dense technical material into readable, engaging copy without losing nuance. A background in technical writing or a degree in English, Communications, or a related field is a plus, but not mandatory. - You love numbers enough to enjoy looking at a dashboard and spotting a trend, yet you don’t let metrics dictate every word you write. Balance matters. Tools you’ll be using (we count 12) 1. WordPress – publishing and SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math). 2. HubSpot – email templates and content hub.3. Google Docs – real‑time collaboration. 4. Grammarly – style and grammar checks. 5. Ahrefs – keyword research and backlink analysis. 6. Surfer SEO – content scoring and optimization. 7.

Zoom – remote interviews and client calls. 12. Trello – visual board for content idea flow (used alongside Notion). Our team and culture (the human side) When we first moved from our co‑working space in St.Marys, Georgia to a fully remote model, we held a “virtual coffee” ceremony where each teammate shared a photo of the view from their home office. It turned out most of us were looking out at city skylines, suburban streets, or a small garden—reminders that the work we do reaches people in many different settings. One of our senior editors, Maya, told us during a recent retrospective: > “The best part of this job is not the headline that hits the front page, but the email that lands in a subscriber’s inbox and makes them say, ‘I finally understand this.’ That moment makes all the revisions worth it.” We keep our weekly meetings to 30 minutes, focused on the three things that matter most: what’s moving forward, where we’re stuck, and a quick win we can celebrate.If you’re the kind of writer who enjoys a clear “what’s next” and dislikes endless meetings, you’ll fit right in. Compensation & benefits -Salary range: $70,000 – $95,000 US annual, commensurate with experience and the depth of your portfolio. - Full‑time (40 hours/week) remote schedule with core hours 10 am–2 pm CT, giving you flexibility for early mornings or late evenings. - Quarterly professional‑development stipend of $1,250 to attend conferences, workshops, or purchase courses that sharpen your craft.- Health, dental, and vision coverage (company‑paid for employee, 50 % for dependents). - 15 days paid time off, plus company‑wide “mental‑health days” that we add to the calendar in January, March, and September. - A $500 equipment allowance for a home‑office upgrade (desk, monitor, chair, or acoustics).
