What's the opportunity?
Olivine is looking to hire a content marketer & social media manager to produce content for the Olivine blog and social channels. There will also be opportunities to work directly on client projects.
This is a truly unique opportunity to work with a team of seasoned product marketers, content marketers, and designers and get exposed to a wide variety of brands, people, and projects.
You'll collaborate closely with the Olivine team to create content for the Olivine blog. Our team has 100 great content ideas, but no time to actually write them. Sometimes you will ghostwrite pieces for our team based on outlines they provide or interviews you host (you will be cited as the editor). Other times you will write under your own name. Once blog content has been created, our design team will create visuals and you can publish the piece on our website hosted in Squarespace. Ideally, you will project manage the process from start to finish.
You’ll also work to share content and thought leadership on social media (primarily LinkedIn and Twitter). Our social media channels are abysmally blank because we’ve been so busy doing incredible client work. We’d love your help sharing our ideas, experiences, and learnings. Sometimes these posts will be from the Olivine social handle, and other times they will come from our personal accounts.
The Content Marketing & Social Media Contractor role is perfect for someone who is earlier in their content marketing career either currently freelancing or wants to start freelancing with the benefit of a team to connect with and learn from. This would also be a great opportunity for someone who is already an experienced writer looking to break into the tech industry.
Over time, if it’s a good mutual fit, there may be opportunities to work on Olivine client projects as well as the other brands owned by the Olivine founders: The Founder’s Marketing Playbook and Momentum.
What will you be doing?
As a Content Marketer & Social Media Contractor, some of the things you will:
Conduct research as needed on topics we’re creating content for.
Take our content ideas and bring them to life on the Olivine blog
Post on social media from Olivine handles and create posts for the team to post from their personal accounts
We may ask for your help on client accounts for content marketing tasks
Copywriting and proofreading for marketing assets
Project managing content & social calendar through Asana
Collaborating with the design team for visuals used in content
What skills/traits do I need?
Great storyteller with a natural ability to write with impact
Self-starter attitude and a bias towards action
Accountability for completing work on time
Serious attention to detail — including grammar, punctuation
Eager to learn, receive constructive feedback, and try new things
Passion for business, marketing, and technology
Bonus points if you are comfortable with Zoom, Asana, Google Docs/Slides/Sheets, Loom, Miro, and Slack.
What experience do I need?
1-3 years experience in content marketing, copywriting, or journalism. Bonus points if you’ve worked in B2B SaaS.
What’s the commitment?
We’d need 10 hours a week to start.
When you work is mostly flexible, but you’d need to be able to attend team meetings during weekdays in PST/EST time zones.
We’d start with a small paid test project (one blog post), and then a 3-month trial period. After that, if it’s a good mutual fit, we’d expand your hours and term based on your needs and availability.
What’s in it for me?
Flexible working hours so you can grocery shop when everyone is at work.
100% remote. Work from anywhere, as long as your hours overlap with US time zones.
You’ll work with a smart team that has original ideas and an authentic brand voice.
Work with a diverse team from all over the world. Our teammates are based in San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Canada, Argentina, Portugal, and more.
Supportive, happy teammates who genuinely care about each other and what we do in and outside work.
Unlike most agencies, we don’t take on too much work and we don’t work with jerk clients.
How to apply
Through our website’s application form here select the position “Content Marketer”.
Record a 5-minute Loom introducing yourself and letting us know why you’re excited about the opportunity and why you think you’d be a good fit for the role.
