Who we are
Hallow is on a mission to help people pray. We’re the No. 1 prayer app in the world, with more than 1 billion prayers prayed across 150+ countries. We're building a product that is authentically Christian and Catholic, while at the same time a resource for anyone looking to grow deeper in a relationship with God. We believe that people are hungry for peace, and that there is no surer way to find it than by learning to sit in silence with Christ: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Mt 11:28).
Our goal is to build something truly great. Something that combines the beauty of the Church's spirituality with world-class product and content execution. And we need a world-class team to make it happen.
We launched the app in December 2018 and have been blown away with the incredible growth & traction. Hallow has been downloaded more than 30 million times with over 250,000 5-star reviews. We're blessed to be backed by some of the best mission-driven investors in the world and are excited to build out the team to help a lot more folks grow closer to God.
We are a startup. We move quickly. We are small but we take big swings. Each person is responsible for making an impact. It is hard—but deeply meaningful—work. We'd be honored & humbled if you'd consider joining us.
TL;DR: We’re looking for a detail-oriented contractor to help us manage content and audio QA at Hallow — the last set of ears and eyes before anything goes live in the app. You'll listen through files, proof transcriptions, and check the app before anything goes live. This is a part-time contract role, roughly 15-20 hours per week.
- Audio QA: Listen through audio files for English launches in a detailed manner, catching any and all mistakes, and communicating any issues to the Audio team. This role will occasionally include weekend assignments when content drops require it.
- In-App QA: Check all media on app before going live to ensure a consistent and high-quality UX
- Audio-to-text Transcription: Use provided transcription software to turn our audio sessions into text, proof text in detail ensuring accuracy with both grammar and format. You’ll also be responsible for uploading transcription/texts to the app.
- Content Tracking: Review and update spreadsheets containing monthly scripture references, session data, and content metadata.
- Mission: This work is incredibly humbling. Every day we hear amazing stories and we get the pleasure of working on something that’s impacting lives. One of our favorite user quotes: “I hate quoting an old, overused cliche, but I’ve been very lost. And I think for the first time in a while I may be found.”
- Ownership: You’ll help us manage the content/audio QA process. You’ll be the last set of ears on our audio so you’ll be directly responsible for ensuring the best possible experience for our community.
- Growth: From day 1, you’ll be a part of the startup journey. The content and audio library is growing fast — your QA work directly shapes what millions of people actually hear.
- Flexibility: HQ is in Chicago (USA); this position is remote. We’re super flexible with location/hours; we don’t care when you work, just that it gets done.
- Comp: We will pay competitive market rates for this hourly contract position.
What We're Looking For
- Passion: First & foremost, we’re looking for someone excited about our mission. It makes it a lot more fun :)
- Grit: Perseverance and attention to detail are key for this role. You bring strong organizational skills and a sense of ownership, especially when the work is self-directed.
- Flexibility & adaptability: You’re comfortable with tight turn-arounds and shifting priorities — you can jump right in and pivot when the work evolves.
- Experience: Native or near-native English proficiency is required. Beyond that, we care most about sharp attention to detail and the ability to pick up new tools quickly. Prior transcription or audio QA experience is a plus, as is past experience operating in a fast-moving environment.
We're a small team and we care deeply about each new hire, so sometimes it can take us a while to get through the hiring process for these roles. Apologies in advance for any delays. We'll do our best to keep you updated throughout the process, and we really appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through everything.
We are honored that you'd consider joining the team and look forward to connecting with you.
Best,
Alex at Hallow
CEO & Co-Founder
