Content Writer - Part Time Contract

ustwo New York is looking for a part-time contract Content Writer to join our small but mighty marketing team. You will be responsible for executing a content strategy to help us achieve our studio and global level marketing and business goals. The role is also a cultural one, and a key element is to capture the vibrancy of ustwo and translate it into compelling content. You will nurture the team at ustwo New York to help them find their voices and efficiently produce content. This role offers a high amount of freedom. You’ll be encouraged to innovate, experiment, and work closely with the global marketing team. 

Requirements:

• Under the mentorship of our Marketing Content Lead, create and maintain an editorial calendar for the New York studio.
• Collaboratively manage our global social media channels. 
• Write copy for a variety of channels including social media, website, blogs, press, and sales enablement. 
• Research and develop a deep understanding of what is relevant for our communities, our clients, our prospects, and potential recruits in order to create effective content. It is important that we’re not creating in a vacuum, that we’re listening to our audiences’ needs and crafting content that will be helpful to them, positioning ustwo as an important voice with a strong point of view. Part of this is to coach our people on what makes good content and how important it is to align with the value we create for our customers. 
• Produce content in a variety of formats such as videos, decks, articles, and social posts. There is an active writing component to this role, however, we would like to find someone that is comfortable creating for a variety of formats and audiences. 
• Work very closely with our Marketing Campaign Executive to develop or commission content fit for our lead-generation campaigns, and with our Lead Marketing Technologist to continually improve the content on our website. 

You have: 

• 3+ years of professional journalistic, social media, or communications experience (at least one of these — if you have all three, well, it’s always fun to talk to a super-person). 
• Excellent writing skills. You understand how to flex your writing style depending on the purpose or audience. 
• Strong editorial skills. Part of the role is to help our people create better and more effective content in a variety of formats. 
• Strong organizational skills and are able to prioritize. We are a company with a lot of ideas; it’s a skill to prioritize those with the best chance of success. 
• An understanding of social media at a professional level (posting on Instagram from time to time doesn’t count) and experience maintaining and growing social channels for community and sales building purposes. You can create/commission social assets as well as use social media management systems and listening tools. 
• A work portfolio, personal projects, and/or specific job experience that demonstrate your suitability for this role. 
• An understanding and appreciation for design, product development, and technology, and are able to identify industry trends that can be woven into your content.
• The ability to comfortably engage with stakeholders at all levels and present your work, ideas, or achievements in a compelling way to large audiences.
• Experience working with Google Docs and Slides. Bonus if you are familiar with Figma, Keynote, and other design tools. 

This role is a part-time contract position starting at 2 days / 16 hours a week. You’ll be expected to work from our Dumbo, NYC studio on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The hourly rate range for this position is from $50 - $110 per hour based on experience, skillset, location, and market demands.
