Content Writer - Remote

About We Are Working

We Are Working (WAW) is a full-service staffing company specializing in helping small to midsize businesses hire offshore talent, also known as virtual assistants (VA). Much of our competition is foreign-based companies that do little more than offer a very low hourly rate and connect a company with a VA and leave much of the ‘figuring it out’ up to the client. We Are Working is different in that we are more full service and we layer into the equation rock solid workflow and strong supervision of the VA. We are workflow experts and once we take over a task, all of the operational headaches associated with that task are handled by WAW from that point forward.

We have been in business for over four years and have built a base of customers and are profitable. However, to a large extent, we are still in start-up mode. 

We are looking for a Content Writer to work either fractional or full time hours for both WAW and Achieve Test Prep which is a sister company to WAW. 

Job Summary: 

The Content Writer will specialize in Persuasive Call-to-Action writing, and will create and publish digital content that will be used to engage multiple (4-6) target customer segments, with the goal of encouraging each lead to progress down the sales funnel and become a customer. The Content Writer will have a proven track record of crafting compelling and persuasive content, particularly in the art of creating effective CTA’s. This will be a crucial role in developing content that captivates our audience, drives engagement and converts leads.
