Position Overview:

This role is perfect for a writer who's eager to sharpen their craft alongside a team of seasoned pros. You'll support our more experienced writers, jump into real projects from day one and soak up everything you can along the way.

You'll also work closely with our proofreader, helping keep projects moving with a sharp eye for detail, consistency and quality. It's a chance to learn not just what makes great copy work, but what makes it sing.

You'll learn the ropes, contribute ideas and grow your skills while helping us turn a complex industry into content people actually want to read.
