  • Effectively manage multiple assignments to meet deadlines.
  • Regularly contribute fresh and creative content concepts/ideas.
  • Conduct competitive research to help enhance brands’ market presence.
  • Write and optimize website/e-commerce content for traditional SEO and emerging Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) best practices.
  • Integrate AI tools into your drafting and editing workflow to support, not replace, your own writing and editorial judgment as you move from first draft to final copy.
  • Stay curious about new AI tools and techniques, experimenting with what works best for different content types and sharing learnings with the team.
  • Conduct keyword research for search engine optimization on both search results and e-commerce platforms.
 
IDEAL CANDIDATE ATTRIBUTES:
  • Published writing samples or a link to an online portfolio are required for consideration
  • 2-3 years of experience writing content either in-house or an agency setting
  • Bachelor’s degree in English, Journalism, Communications, Marketing, or related field
  • Proven writer and proofreader with professional written and verbal skills
  • Ability to adapt tone and writing style based on medium and audience
  • Can prioritize multiple types of projects in a fast-paced environment
  • Familiarity with e-commerce product content
  • Understanding of SEO/AEO/GEO best practices is preferred
  • Experience with keyword research tools such as SEM Rush is preferred
