The company is based in the United Kingdom, but our team members are distributed worldwide. We are currently looking for a new editor and writer to join our team.

Responsibilities:

  • Creating high-quality blog posts on a variety of topics, including WordPress-specific articles (how-tos, plugin/theme reviews, listicles, etc.) and posts on related subjects such as web hosting, small business, and technology
  • Editing posts written by other team members, ensuring impeccable grammar, formatting, and style as well as factual accuracy and adherence to client-specific requirements
  • Researching topics and keywords for new posts, based on client-specific requirements
  • Experimenting with and learning new plugins, themes, software, and other tools as needed

Requirements:

  • Solid writing and editing skills. You have several years of professional writing and editing experience under your belt (including blogging or other online content), and are passionate about writing for a living.
  • WordPress experience. You have some experience creating content using the self-hosted WordPress platform.
  • Comfort with a wide range of subjects. You’re able to write and edit content to a high standard about both WordPress (our primary niche) and other related topics. You’re also able to research and write authoritatively on unfamiliar topics as needed.
  • Passion for learning. You love the idea of diving into a role where you’ll learn new things, and value constructive criticism as a means of boosting your skills and experience.
  • A love for remote working. You value the flexibility and autonomy of a remote working arrangement, and have experience working under your own impetus.
