Writer/Editor – Innerbody Research – From $60,000 a year
We’re a prominent and trusted publisher of online consumer-facing health information and recommendations seeking a full-time writer/editor. At Innerbody, we publish content that helps people better understand their health, make informed health-related purchasing decisions, and achieve their wellness goals.
If you’d like to play an integral role in our mission to make this trusted advice about complex subjects both engaging and approachable for our million+ monthly readers, please apply to join our editorial team!
We want to meet candidates for whom writing and editing are second nature. Equally important are research skills because deep research is a fundamental part of everything that we write. We also value the versatility that allows a writer or editor to adjust their voice to suit the context. An ideal candidate will enjoy thoroughly exploring the landscape of health products and services available at the tap of a finger and will have robust sensitivity for readers who grapple with unique concerns from page to page but who still share the daunting task of figuring out what options are best for them. It often helps if you have some experience creating health-related content and a track record that confirms you can handle the substantive challenges involved.
Core responsibilities:
- Writing new, in-depth product/service review content
- Editing rough drafts submitted by a network of writers
- Conducting deep third-party and product research to support new content creation or improve and maintain existing content
- Creating ongoing newsletter content
- Reorganizing and revising submitted content to improve clarity and reflect marketing goals
- Contributing to weekly editorial team meetings
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree with a writing-intensive major
- At least one year of experience writing and/or editing web content aimed at a general or consumer audience
- Ability to adhere to an in-house style guide
- Strength and versatility as a writer — the skills to write engaging, approachable text while maintaining an authoritative voice
- A love of numbers and scientific subjects
- Strong communication and organizational skills
- Ability to work productively and independently in a 100% virtual team environment (Slack, email, video meetings, unlimited office pets, etc.)
Could give you an edge:
- Writing/editing experience specifically in a consumer-facing health product context (e.g., high-quality consumer guides, product reviews)
- Experience crafting professional, well-written newsletter content (ideally in health or science subjects)
- 2+ years of online writing/editing experience
Full-time employment comes with health benefits, PTO, 401K, etc. Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. For promising candidates, we like to start with a several-week phase of part-time work whenever possible, enabling both you and us to assess the “fit” before we all commit fully; the scope of such a period is negotiable.
