Who Are We?

We’re headquartered in Flintstone, Georgia with team members across the globe.

Are You 
Who We're Looking For?

We need a new Content Ninja! This is a remote (work from home) position.

Content Ninjas serve a crucial role on our team. They are the wordsmiths that can use storytelling to help us and our clients attract and convert ideal customers.

We know how powerful copywriting is. Compelling words live everywhere in business — from simple email signatures to websites, blogs, video scripts, emails, and social posts.

Content Ninjas need to understand the power they wield with every stroke of a key. The right messaging and voice can help a business grow their revenue, hire the talent, and work with more of the clients that they love (and fewer of the ones they don't).

 They translate who the client is to their audience and help create trust with buyers.

Content Ninjas are the lifeblood of our organization and we’re looking to find more wonderful team members who can help us grow!

Salary and Growth Opportunities

Salary

Content Ninjas start at $40,000 USD a year for full-time, $15/hour for part time, and we have contract positions available. You'll be trained in the various methodologies and formats that we use to help us deliver powerful persuasive content to our clients.

Growth

You’ll be graded on your quality and turnaround times for producing content. We actively promote from within and you are welcome to cross-train into other areas as you learn more about what we do.

Are You Our
Ideal Candidate?

We hire based on company fit and are willing to train you in the skills that you need, but there are some key things that we're hoping to find in the right candidate.

1

You Like Writing on a Variety of Topics

You will be writing content for our company and our various brands, our client's companies, and even our client's clients since we help agencies produce content for their clients.

This means that you should be VERY comfortable writing on a variety of topics for a variety of industries. We will provide detailed briefs and we can ask the clients questions to make sure you have everything you need, but you will be expected to do some research on your own as well.

Because we are a remote company, you should be comfortable working with clients and coworkers on video calls and occasionally communicating with them via phone or text.

2

You Have a Passion for marketing and Sales

Part of your job involves learning about the client’s business and understanding what they sell, who they sell to, etc. Our focus is to help clients grow their businesses while loving what they do. We assist in a wide variety of marketing, sales, and consulting strategies to help them succeed.

You will be paired with a Client Hero that will manage the client relationships and work to get the information and details you need to write content at the level we're looking for.

It's a huge plus if you have any experience or familiarity with Donald Miller, StoryBrand, DigitalMarketer, Ryan Deiss, Roland Fraiser, The Scalable Company, or HubSpot.

You Understand SEO & Content Marketing

We do a LOT of content marketing here. Pretty much every client we work with involves writing copy — blogs, website pages, email sequences, social media posts, books, checklists, social profiles, etc. So the more familiar you are with content marketing and SEO strategies, the better.

We also really focus on working with clients that either are or want to be thought leaders in their space. If you're someone that loves to read books, stalk thought leaders on social, attend webinars and workshops, etc.. then you'd be a good fit for this role.

What is a Successful Content Ninja Personality?

You should enjoy doing research and learning about new things. You are likely someone that can jump in and get a grasp of new concepts and ideas and quickly. You are empathetic and can understand what someone is going through and why they want to find a solution or answer to their question.

You like to spend time working quietly without distractions, but also enjoy occasional breaks where you can chill with coworkers and friends and give your brain a rest.

You care about the people that you're responsible for and dig deep to deliver on the promises you've made. You know how to manage your time well and get through even the toughest of writer's blocks when you have to.

  • Passionate
  • Organized

Be Energized By...

  • Crushing Deadlines
  • Learning New Things
  • Growing Professionally

Be Comfortable With...

  • Remote working. This is a remote (work-from-home) position with flexible hours. You will be expected to be a responsible adult and manage your time wisely if you want to fully enjoy the benefit of being in charge of your day while still getting your work done.
  • All job offers start with a 60-day trial to make sure that we’re the right fit for each other. We want to make sure you like working here and that you can do the job at the level that we need to ensure you, our client, and our company are successful.
  • We are a diverse company and don't discriminate for any reason. If you're someone that isn't accepting of different gender roles, races, religions, etc then don't apply.
  • Working with a team. This is a remote position, but we do work closely together as a team and frequently communicate via Slack and other platforms throughout the day. It takes a team of skills professionals to deliver results, and you need to be comfortable working together with others.

Our Core Values

  • Relationships Over Sales
    We aren't focused on making a quick buck. We know that building lasting relationships with clients helps them achieve greater success, makes our team happier, and makes our company more stable and more scalable. We want to provide excellent value, be honest and transparent with our clients, and be a true partner in their success.
  • Work Isn't Everything
    We do value our clients and understand that they are crucial for us to hit our goals as a company, but the real backbone of our ability to deliver immense value to our clients is our team. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels satisfied with their work excited to be part of our team while still having free time and energy for the things that really matter in life outside of work.
  • Mentorship Over Training
    We don't believe that a college degree or stack of certifications means you can do the job. We do provide access to an ample supply of educational resources for every job role and function in our company, but there is no better way to learn a skill than to do it while having access to skilled mentors that can provide guidance and answers to questions as you go. While we do like to hire people with experience, we don't believe in throwing you in and hoping you can swim without providing support to help you. We operate from a place of continual improvement so we're always at the top of our field.
  • A Commitment to Truth
    Everything we do requires a commitment to truth as the core principle and foundation of our company. We are a team of data-driven copywriters and marketers, data is truth. If something isn’t working, we tell the client. If we make a mistake, we’re the first to bring it up and we own it. If we don’t know the answer to something, we admit it readily (and then work to figure it out!) If we disagree, we say so. Truth is the first and most important step to solving any problem. We want everyone to have a voice and continually work to make our company better.
  • Responsibility
    How do we do more? How do we give more? How do we help each other? Responsibility requires us to constantly be looking for opportunities to go further. We don’t try to get out of work, we lean into it. You’ll never hear us say, “That’s not my job.” By being proactive with our skillset we place ourselves in a position to influence the world around us in a way that only those who understand true responsibility ever can. We encourage you to expand your knowledge and venture into other areas of the business and find what makes you happy and fulfilled.
  • You Must Have Heart
    It’s not enough to simply do. You also have to care. You have to care about your clients, your teammates, and yourself. You have to work like it matters, like what you’re doing means something. You need to know that you’re making an impact and understand that there are people relying on you to do what’s best for them. In some cases, these people wouldn’t know the difference which makes it even more important. We have been offered a sacred trust in helping people grow their business and so we treat their businesses as our own.
