Staff Writer

Inboxlab builds brands that expand perspectives through the wonder of learning, by delivering educational and entertaining experiences directly to the inbox. Since beginning our story, we’ve had one goal in mind: to become an engine for optimism. We firmly believe that the more connected to and aware of the world around us we are, the better off humankind will be.

Two years in, we’re profitable and VC-free, and we’ve amassed 19 million subscribers across brands in the travel and gamified education verticals — with a pipeline of new brands to be launched in the future.

Our team of 50+ is insatiably curious, infectiously optimistic, radically connected, and intentionally intrepid. We operate as a distributed workforce, working remotely from around the world. As a team we interact with our hubs in Denver, LA, New York and Buenos Aires. If that resonates with you, we should talk!

We’re looking for multiple Staff Writers to author content for exciting gamified brands focused on such topics as travel, animals, science, history, general trivia, vocabulary, and more.

  • Take on assignments from editors, pitch and develop smart,  novel ideas of your own
  • Work closely with assigning editors, photo editors, fellow writers and other colleagues on ideation, finessing copy, and honing the editorial process
  • Help establish and hone a brand voice that is consistent, compelling, and distinctive
  • Develop franchises, new content types, and brand expansion concepts
  • Merge editorial artistry and creativity with data science to author experiences that engage our audience, improve key metrics, and drive revenue
  • Faithfully translate company mission, core values into everyday tasks and projects

  • A strong sense of voice
  • An obsession with solid, crisp first drafts

  • Proficient knowledge of email marketing
  • Experience and interest in building and curating gamified educational experiences
