Content Writers wanted | $150 per blog post, negotiable

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: RED MALLARD

Red Mallard is currently seeking additional Content Writers to add to our pool of independent contractors. We are a small but growing content marketing agency headquartered in southern California. Our mission is to transform our clients’ expertise into stories for the web and in print. We work with clients across a diverse range of industries and sizes, from mid-sized local firms to large, multinational public companies.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

We are seeking a Content Writer with experience writing for clients in B2B professional services industries such as accounting, law (corporate, transactional, and municipal), and property management. Content Writers work with our in-house client services managers and content strategists to develop and execute content plans in accordance with client requirements. Projects vary by client and by the writer’s capacity but may include drafting website content, recurring blog posts, special projects like white papers and sales sheets, and ad copy. In connection with their work Content Writers typically perform research and conduct interviews.

This is a remote, independent contractor position. Content Writers will be asked to sign a standard contract and will be assigned work under task orders with varying duties and project lengths.

KEY QUALIFICATIONS:

• Minimum 5 years of experience writing content for clients in a B2B professional services industry, ideally for a wide diversity of clients (e.g., not just focused on one type of firm).
• Demonstrated aptitude in writing content addressed to a sophisticated business audience.
• Commitment to high editorial standards.
• Curiosity and willingness to learn to write effectively about niche industries.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to meet regular deadlines.
• Willingness to collaborate and incorporate editorial feedback into future work.
• Ability to work independently.

IDEAL EXTRAS:

• Understanding of SEO and other web and social media strategies.
• Professional experience other than as a writer.
• Academic background relevant to the work.
• Interest in growing with us and taking on projects outside of the B2B professional services space as opportunities arise.

COMPENSATION:

Red Mallard is building a home for writers. We have high standards for our writers and we expect to pay accordingly. Our goal is to find people who want to work with us for the long haul, and who we want to make a part of our growth plan. We compensate writers based on their experience, project scope, and client budget. For our professional services clients, we typically pay around $150 per blog post of about 700 words, with two to four posts due each month. These rates are negotiable.

WRITING TEST:

To be considered, please submit a sample of at least 200 words addressing the topic below:

“Key features of tax depreciation of commercial real estate” (from the perspective of a tax accountant)

Note that the topic is deliberately open-ended and broad; we’d like to see what you choose to do with it. At this length, you may only be able to hit on one main idea, which is fine. Our audiences tend to be professionals in their field, rather than consumers. Your sample should follow standard blogging practices, including a meaningful title, appropriate headings, and a short call to action. Please provide hyperlinks to sources where they would be appropriate for a client’s blog. We are looking for a candidate’s ability to distill information into engaging copy with the basic features of writing effective communication for the web. No SEO research is expected or required. Please submit your sample as a Word document. This posting will be open until Friday, March 26 at 11:59 p.m. PST.
