WHO WE ARE:

We’re on a mission to help pets around the world! With our sights set on becoming the most authoritative pet platform available, Furzly leads the conversation about pet health and information while still producing media that reminds us how much of treasure animals are. How? We do this by empowering our writing community to create valuable, insightful content that can be leveraged on a global scale. Our success is dependent on having a community of writers that create stories for our educational platform.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

We are seeking a Co-Founder that we can trust and rely on. Someone that is going to lead this project with us and help us do what it takes to become successful.

Over 5 years of content writing and editing experience
A strong portfolio
Strong knowledge of SEO in writing
Ability to write blog styles and technical writing styles
Someone that can expertly review content submitted to our site and leave professional editorial comments on that post.
Someone who is comfortable working in a startup environment

WHO YOU ARE:

You Have a Passion for Pets: Since we are a pet site, this is a must! Our furry friends are our passion, and they should be yours as well!

You Are Upbeat and Positive: Negative attitudes make for poor workplace environments (even in remote positions!). We want everyone on our team to have a great attitude when they approach their work and speak with other members of the team.

You Are Motivated to Make Every Article Your Best: There are writers who approach writing like work, and there are writers who approach writing with the intent to provide their readers with value. You want every piece to be your best, and you want to make sure that it is the most authoritative on the web. You get out what you put in!

You Are Organized and Can Work With Our Executive Team: We all have late days and messy desks, but we want you to be an individual who is highly-organized and who loves keeping track of their tasks from start to finish. This helps us get through our content strategy and provide you with the content that you want to write!

You Are Ambitious and Want to Change the World for Pets: You ask questions. You look for the details that others miss. You write copy that is compelling. Put simply, you are a go-getter who is looking to do the most!

You Are Communicative: You are always easy to connect with and have no problems asking questions to other team members. Although we are a remote team, we want people who are there when we need them and who are highly involved in the project!

WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU:

If you are the person we described above, that's awesome! Now that we have you here let's talk about some of the expectations that we will have for you in this Co-Founder role.

You will work directly with our interns to review and leave editorial comments on their work daily.

You Are Available to Write (Ideally) Two Blog Posts Per week:

You Are Active on Your Phone or Computer Throughout the Day: We have to be able to contact you in case we have any questions for you, or you have any questions for us. We usually communicate through Slack but will sometimes send emails or chat on the phone.

You Can Follow Directions (But Are Not Afraid to Pitch): Being able to adhere to our writer's guidelines and match our tone is a must, but we also want you to have fun with your copy! In addition, we are always open to pitches. If you have ideas that you think would be great for the website, you are not afraid to recommend improvements to us!

You May Produce a Variety of Content (Deep Research, Viral Content, News Stories): All with the given topis from our SEO team. You mainly will be writing about the dog breeds we offer.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO GAIN FROM WORKING AT FURZLY:

Our leadership team has started a business just like this one before and sold it to a large competitor. We have the know-how, and there is little guesswork in this venture. So, what can you expect Furzly to do for you?

We plan for an early exit, and if that does happen, we will vest all of your equity upfront!

You Gain Valuable Insight Into the Writing and Editorial Process- Working on publications requires you to understand how to pitch your ideas, successfully develop your content, and establish relationships with others on your team, whether they are editorial staff or fellow writers. Here at Furzly, you gain valuable insight into the writing and editorial process and also the fundamentals of a successful startup.

If we still have you here and you're interested in working with us, please reply to this post with your relevant work experience, why you want to work with us, and what your favorite breed of dog is.
