Job Details: 

Are you a podcast-lover who excels at writing? Do you want to help change the world, one relationship at a time? Rise25 is looking for a Content Writer to create podcast show notes for a wide range of B2B clients.  

Job Description: 

As a member of our content team, your primary responsibility will be to research and draft podcast show notes for clients. You will transform a variety of podcast episodes into engaging posts that reflect each client’s tone of voice and summarize the episode in a readable and informative manner. You will also have the opportunity to work on other exciting projects within the Rise25 content team. 

Work where you want, when you want. We take pride in our culture and invest in our team with new team member mentoring sessions (so you get up to speed faster) and you get paid to learn with our monthly book club and free Masterclass subscription. 

We also believe in giving back and contribute to micro entrepreneurs in emerging countries throug Kiva.org, and have contributed to supporting refugees in Eastern Europe.  

Key Responsibilities:

This position is remote and self-paced. You can work from anywhere with a good Internet connection. Ideally, we are looking for someone who can devote at least 20 or more hours per week, but if you have fewer hours available at least initially, that is OK.

You must be good at self-direction and taking initiative. In addition, it is important to us that all of our team members are detail-oriented and meticulous; therefore, in the application form, when it asks for your “favorite vegetable?” Please put the word “eggplant.”

Required Skills:
