Tell Exceptional Stories That Drive Businesses Forward

At The Exceptional Plan, we’re on a mission to redefine what it means to be a business owner. We work with entrepreneurs and growing companies to build fundable, scalable ventures through powerful storytelling, strategic planning, and financial clarity.

We’re seeking a versatile Business & Creative Writer who can merge creative storytelling with analytical precision. From business plans to pitch decks to thought leadership, you’ll be the voice behind many of the brands we help bring to life—conveying complex ideas with clarity, persuasion, and purpose.

About the Role

As a writer on our team, you’ll collaborate with strategists, researchers, and founders to develop investor-ready deliverables that communicate business potential and vision. You’ll be expected to adjust tone and format for different audiences—traditional lenders, angel investors, VCs, or strategic partners—and help synthesize market, financial, and operational insights into a compelling narrative.

You’ll also occasionally contribute blog content aligned with our mission and thought leadership themes.

This is a project-based contract role with room to grow into a full-time opportunity to grow as we grow.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Writing and editing investor-ready business plans, pitch decks, and one-pagers
• Translating complex financials and market research into clear, persuasive narratives
• Matching tone and style to reflect each founder’s voice and audience
• Collaborating with analysts and strategists to ensure message clarity and alignment
• Occasionally writing blog content tied to startup strategy, funding, or founder insights
• Delivering clean, structured writing under tight but realistic deadlines

What We’re Looking For

• Proven writing experience in business, startup, or technical content
• A strong grasp of business models, startup ecosystems, and funding types
• Ability to write for different audiences (lenders, investors, partners)
• Skill in turning raw information into polished, structured deliverables
• Comfort working remotely and independently
• Experience writing business plans and/or pitch decks is a must

• Accountable – We meet deadlines and take pride in our work
