Description
We are looking for talented writers who love hard work as much as they love deadlines.
Commodity.com is your trusted source to make sense of commodities & commodity trading, cryptocurrencies & related investments. And were currently seeking experienced writers to join our team.
Who We’re Looking for
Candidates should have trading expertise and experience writing about commodities and financial markets in general.
We most definitely aren’t looking for clones. But everyone on our team shares a handful of attributes:
For the writer roles:-
- Native English speaker
- Exceptional writing skills (US English. You can be based anywhere)
- Strong research skills
For every role:-
- Good communicator (remote work is otherwise impossible)
- Able to follow a set way of working (eg, how to invoice)
- Happy working solo (ie, without micromanaging or nagging)
- Well organized (ie, deadlines get met, without excuses or exceptions)
- Rock steady reliable – your word is your bond
- Basic WordPress skills
- Introverts will thrive in our team (we have the odd extrovert too)
Key Requirements
We are looking for skilled writers that:-
- Deliver quality content to deadline
- Obsess about accuracy & quality
- Understand the importance of following a brief
- Consider sloppiness on facts & accuracy a cardinal sin
- Wish to learn & grow as writers beyond their current abilities
- Will work our way – it will differ from your past experience
- We have a zero tolerance policy on broken promises, flakey behavior or disappearing acts. If anybody has used these words to describe you during adulthood, you are not a good fit for our team.
Pay & Workload
TLDR: We pay well/fast, and presently have as much work as you can handle
Rates vary in line with your commitment. We believe (based on public salary data), that we pay better than 90% of comparable writing gigs. Writers get paid monthly in US dollars (by wire transfer).
We are looking for writers available for a minimum of 15 hours/week, due to the overhead of managing a big team.
There are no set hours, and you can work when you choose in any time zone and in any location – provided you meet deadlines.
Did we mention how important delivering to deadline is…?
How We Work
You’ll be working as part of our remote team alongside team members in dozens of countries worldwide.
Over the last decade working remotely, we’ve developed unique processes, systems and ways of working that help us get things done (both on time and of the quality we expect of ourselves).
We use a few popular tools you may have used before:-
- Slack, for teamwork & day-to-day chat
- Google Docs/Google Sheets for collaborate documents
- WordPress to power many of our sites
We don’t micro-manage; you will be expected to meet deadlines without exception, and without us hassling you.
When we commission projects, we’ll provide a writing brief, plus due dates and required minimum length.
Sound like a good fit?
We’d love to hear from you!
