Part-time Content Strategist and Manager

We’d love for you to become our next content strategist and manager!

What you’ll be doing:

Doing strategy for 2 - 3 clients

  • Creating content ideas and setting the content schedule based on our initial research with them (customer pain points, use cases and product)

  • Doing a monthly call with them for reporting purposes

  • Setting up and doing the interviews with the client’s Subject Matter Experts, and then adding them to the right folder so the writer has access to them

  • Publishing the article on a client’s website with their CMS

  • Updating content strategy metrics on a monthly basis via Google Sheets

Working with 2 - 3 writers who will be creating the content, which includes:

  • Creating the questionnaires/brief

  • Scheduling articles on Trello

  • Editing and providing two rounds of feedback

  • Submitting for review to the client

Collaborating with Michelle (content strategist) and Araminta

  • Being in our Slack group and communicating regularly

We are for you, if:

  • You love interviewing interesting people. There’s a lot of that! Most of our content is based on interviews with experts, and you’ll get to interview them on what the know a lot about, learn about their business strategy and be speaking to a huge variety of businesspeople.

  • You like processes and systems. We are all very detail oriented and rigorous, which means there is always a plan and a document on how to do things. You won’t ever be left in the dark with a lack of direction.

  • You like flexibility. Everyone works on their own hours. As long as deliverables are on time and you’re able to do the required calls with experts and clients, we don’t care when you work.

  • You love putting yourself in the position of the reader.  Our content approach is to create content that turns readers into customers. That means you’ll be using a lot of empathy to understand what readers want to read.

  • You want to see the results of your efforts. We help our clients generate leads and customers with content, which means you’ll be able to see the direct results of your content strategy efforts via their Google Analytics and spreadsheets. You’ll have the freedom to build a strategy that has a genuine impact.

  • You are detail oriented. We document systems and we like keeping things organised, so we’re a big fan of details.

  • You like working with great writers. Our writers go through a vetted process and understand the way we work. They are tremendous to work with and don’t require a huge amount of rewriting and editing.

What we’re offering

  • Part-time annual fee in the range of £24k to £36k (minimum 6 months)

  • Paid for content strategy course when you first begin working with us

  • Possibility to go full-time, which will include

    • £1,000 per year self-development budget

    • Remote work and flexible hours

    • Around £40k salary (exact number still TBD)

    • 1 team retreat per year

What we value:

  • Communication. This job requires a lot of collaboration and back and forths so communication is a must

  • Empathy. You’ll need a lot of it to put yourself in the shoes of the reader.

  • Patience. We’re a small agency and growing quickly, so we haven’t figured it all out yet. Sometimes we’ll get it wrong, but we’re very open to taking feedback and improving.

  • Organisation. We’ll never use “but we’re a small business” as an excuse to not be organised. Every time we do something twice, it’s documented, and there’s a systems manual to make sure we always know how to do what’s needed.

  • Systems thinking. We always seek out and create systems-centred solutions for any recurring tasks and challenges

If you’re interested, please send an email to araminta@mintcopywritingstudios.com with:

  • A brief summary of a content strategy you’ve done before, OR how would you improve this article:  Xero vs MYOB vs Parpera: Which One's Best for You?
