Job Description

About the Role:

Do you love great prose and appreciate a nifty turn of phrase? Are you that eagle-eyed proofreader who notices a misplaced colon or skewed spacing around an em dash? Are you in awe of, and have you mastered, the mightiness of the pen? Are you fast and efficient at drafting great content? If so, we should talk. Airbase is looking for a talented individual with both impeccable writing skills and a penchant for understanding what audiences will “hear” to serve as a marketing copywriter. We would expect that your portfolio would include writing samples of B2B content with extra credit given to topics in the finance and accounting sector.

Airbase is a VC-funded, fast-growing, fast-moving software company that creates Procure-to-Pay software for small to midsize companies. Your communications must connect with, and be of value to, finance professionals, including CFOs, finance managers, accountants, and procurement professionals.

This is a contract position with assignments expected to take between 35 and 40 hours a week.  We seek a demonstrated ability to write high-quality, compelling, accessible, and informative copy. Knowledge of finance or accounting is a big plus; willingness to learn about it is a must. You will need to make yourself available to meet regularly with the Director of Content at least twice a week for check-ins and reviews of work, this would be scheduled between 8am–5pm Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8).

What You’ll Do:

• Create compelling, accessible, and value-added copy that is consistent with the established company tone.
• Draft copy for 6 SEO-optimized 2,000 to 3,000-word articles based on an outline provided each month.
• Draft copy for 4 750-word glossary terms each month.
• Draft copy for additional blogs, other articles, and email copy, as needed.
• Edit/proofread copy from other Airbase teams and enforce the company style guide when required.
• Develop a substantial depth of knowledge of Airbase products and our market personas.
• Accurately track the progress of copywriting projects and drive them through approvals with stakeholders. Ensure that they are completed on time, with a consistently high level of quality.
• Optional additional work could include creating listicles, Info-graphics, and LinkedIn posts.

About You:

• Excellent copywriting and editing skills.
• Experience creating clean, engaging copy for public use (e.g., school paper, website, blog, etc.) — even better if it’s B2B content.
• Prior employment as a copywriter or editor is a plus, but not required. Great writers without any professional experience will be considered.
• Able to provide examples of past work, including long-form pieces over 800 words.
• Prior experience or knowledge of finance or accounting is a plus.
• Highly dependable independent worker.
• Clear and effective communication
• Excellent time-management skills, with a track record of delivering rapid-cadence, quality content to meet clearly defined deadlines.
