Editorial Content Writer

Our Auto Content Team is hiring a writer to support our Editorial content marketing efforts. You'll pitch, research and write strong creative pieces that help influence the perception of our brand and educate our customers. While a Journalism background is desired, the ideal candidate should be a strategic thinker, creative problem solver and have a background in marketing. You'll have the opportunity to help build our content efforts from the ground up. We're looking for the right mix of content writing, marketing know-how and creativity.

You should be:

  • A journalist at heart—this means you have experience pitching story ideas, researching, writing and editing. Come with your own sources, or have the ability to find sources for your stories.
  • Comfortable writing long-form content—working from a brief to concept and execute strategically sound, creative ideas.
  • Experienced in creating work that persuasively communicates marketing objectives to the end customer.
  • Understand how to speak brand and marketing. We want someone who sees the bigger picture and helps others see it too.
  • Brainstorm with the Auto content team to generate ideas and creative concepts.
  • Be self-organized and able to manage multiple deadlines on numerous, concurrent projects. 

  • Have strong presentation skills—you will be expected to articulate and sell your work.
  • Consistently deliver quality work on time.
  • Portfolio demonstrates industry and conceptual diversity, examples should be from a variety of channels and represent different types of marketing from awareness to direct. Work should show evidence of "thinking outside the box" while achieving business goals.

Additional skills that will help you succeed:

  • You have a positive attitude and work well in an Editor and Writer partnership.
  • You experience contributing to a strategic process.
  • You are just as comfortable with a clever headline as you are with a longer article.
  • A clear understanding of tone and the ability to quickly adapt your writing style.
  • An understanding of the importance of creative strategy, how to use it to create powerful work, and the ability to clearly present it to others for buy-in.
  • The ability to handle multiple projects at once and meet aggressive deadlines.
  • Copywriting portfolio submitted with resume. Diversity of work is key. We are interested in seeing produced content, editorial clips as well as some marketing/advertising work.
  • Experience writing about personal finance and the auto industry

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree or military experience
  • At least 5 years of writing experience
