Writer, Marketing – $48,000 to $53,000 Annually

If you’re a wordsmith who loves to write about the educational rewards of travel, this Marketing Writer could be your dream job.

We’re Road Scholar, the not-for-profit leader in educational travel for older adults, and we’re looking to add a new creative mind to our writing team. Don’t think of us as a travel company. We’re more like a university of the world, offering educational adventures in more than 100 countries.

Our ideal candidate is a lot like the Road Scholar writing style — creative, clever, authentic, pithy, interesting and quick to make someone smile. Whether you’re a seasoned copy pro or an MFA grad looking to make the world a better place, we’d love to have you join our team.

You will…

Writing snappy and interesting copy in nearly every medium imaginable: direct mail, email, web, video scripts, our own alumni magazine, fundraising appeals, Facebook and blogs.
Understanding (or learning) SEO keyword research and how to apply it to your writing projects.
Working closely with the graphic designer or production artist to produce a perfect finished product.
Proofreading electronic and print communications to ensure our high level of quality and educational standards.
Familiarity with AP Style.
Researching travel, aging and education-related topics to inform your writing projects.
Brainstorming creative ways to spread our mission.
An ethos of excellence.
Rolling up your sleeves and bringing your best self.
At least one bad pun.
