Job description
About the Role
Do you live and breathe reading and writing? Are you seeking to launch or expand your career as a Content Writer in the fast-paced world of digital content marketing? Great. We've been looking for you.
As a Content Writer at Three Ships on the U.K Team, you will have meaningful content responsibilities and will play a vital role in our content production process. You'll be responsible for delivering perfect, accurate, and well-researched copy that will engage our audience, rank well on Google and be both informative and entertaining. Further, you'll have the opportunity to not only write amazing pieces of content day in and out but also participate in creative and analytical content strategy sessions, social media planning, and execution. You'll be encouraged and expected to think outside the box and gain confidence in your decision-making and copy capabilities.
Your Day-to-Day
- Write quality articles, reviews, and round-ups – each one accurate, optimized, on-brand, and on time.
- Receive real, constructive feedback to learn our standards and revise your work accordingly.
- Brainstorm visual and copy ideas with our editorial team and digital marketing partners. Make recommendations on how to implement it.
- Source images, charts, graphs, and infographics to supplement content pieces.
- Load content onto our website and QA all assets.
- Refine and update existing content pieces to reflect accurate product information, including pricing, promotions, retail partnerships, etc.
- Demonstrate a meticulous approach to your work – display a highly organized and focused process and a thorough ability to execute.
- In addition to content development, you may also be asked to assist with outreach to media, brands, and influencers, as well as assist with product testing and video coordination (including scriptwriting, staging, and planning).
About You
- Bachelor's degree in English, Creative Writing, Journalism, Communications, or related field preferred. Involvement in related school activities (school newspaper, editorial staff, news staff) or previous work experience is a plus.
- 1-3+ Years of proven dexterity with written language: You can translate ideas and complex research into an attractive, precise copy that engages and informs your audience. You are comfortable pivoting between topics and writing for different platforms (website, social media, infographics), while still maintaining a consistent voice. You'll demonstrate this with a portfolio of varied writing samples directed at different audiences (maybe a technical academic paper on one hand, and an album review or blog post on another).
- Independence and maturity: You are comfortable putting your head down and producing excellent work without constant supervision. You demonstrate maturity and have made it clear that we can count on you to show up every day on time, smiling and ready to go. You prove this to us through a successful track record of positive professional experiences with your previous jobs, internships, leadership in your school or dedication to a blog.
- Experience and/or passion for SEO and content marketing: Experience in SEO-first, conversion-oriented writing is a plus. If you don't have this experience, you are eager and passionate about learning and applying these strategies to your content in a consistent and natural way.
- Problem solving and agility: You thrive in an environment where there is no playbook for success. You can adapt to different tasks and shift priorities as needed. You have an entrepreneurial spirit and are energized by doing work that hasn't been done before.
