Fun Project-Based Writing for Well-Known Supplement Company
Hi, my name is Allie Chandler and I’m the Director of Content at Microbiome Labs — Markers of MegaSporeBiotic™. You probably know us for our spore-based probiotics (but our product suite is much more diverse).
Our company is expanding rapidly, and with expansion comes more…
…
...
...content!
(If you said that in your head before you read it, then I like you already).
Not only are we releasing a number of brand new products in the next six months, but we’re also launching a retail brand and an educational blog, in addition to the marketing and events writing we already do.
This is why we need YOU!
We're looking for an experienced, top-notch health writer who is looking for project-based work in health and wellness. You should be comfortable writing accurate, evidence-based articles, social media captions, emails, ads, brochures, white papers, and other forms of wellness-brand-related content.
ABOUT US:
We're a fast-paced, fast-growth herbal supplement company that is on a mission to make vibrant health accessible to all.
TO APPLY FOR THIS ROLE, YOU MUST:
- Have at least three years of professional writing experience in health and wellness (beyond your own blog) with bylines on established websites or magazine clips
- Have either a college degree in English, journalism, communications, or a related field OR a college degree in a health-related discipline (such as biochemistry, physiology, or nutrition) from an accredited college or university
- Be able to simplify complex science and health topics while avoiding unnecessary jargon
- Have excellent attention to detail and accuracy when interpreting health research and writing about it
- Be a team player, open to receiving and giving feedback
- Have a natural interest and passion for wellness and helping people restore their health
- Be a self-motivated, proactive, self-starter who is always looking to do more
It’s a plus if you also have personal experience with gut health, probiotics, functional medicine, or complex chronic illness.
WHEN YOU JOIN THE TEAM YOU:
- Get to work from home
- Will be part of a growing team on a powerful mission
- Join a movement full of growth and excitement
- Get to write on a project basis
THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF:
- You aren't committed to quality research and writing
- Your eyes glaze over when you read research studies
- You aren't interested in natural health topics
- You aren't open to feedback, making edits, and adjusting to our writing style
- You are just trying to make a quick buck
- You are negative or hard to communicate with
WHAT’S THE WORK LIKE?
Yea, all of that SOUNDS great, but what would I actually be doing, Allie?
I’m so glad you asked. We have enough projects right now that I can assure you that you’ll never get bored.
Here are some examples of the type of work you may be asked to do*:
- Write a 4-part email launch for a new probiotic chew, including a teaser, a glimmer of hope, and full launch.
- Write engaging social captions inviting practitioners to a microbiome educational event.
- Write ad copy for Facebook ads to accompany static images, video, and carousel.
- Conduct keyword research for already-existing blogs and plug SEO parameters into Yoast before uploading.
- Write short Instagram captions for Microbiome Labs products, focusing on a key ingredient or benefit.
- Write website copy for new educational blog site, including a Microbiome Manifesto or a pillar post on conditions associated with poor gut health.
- Create educational materials about the gut, vaginal, oral, and skin microbiomes.
- Write copy for lead magnets designed to increase acquisition. For example: How to Read Your Probiotic Label or Why the Bristol Stool Chart Matter… but with clever titles. We'll leave that part to you (;
- Potentially complete some administrative tasks, other writing projects, or copyediting projects.
*Note: These are just examples that show the type of writing; actual assignments will vary.
OUR STANCES:
- We believe a healthy microbiome is a healthy you.
- We believe each of you has a unique health journey.
- We believe in restoring and supporting the body’s natural health processes.
- We believe the foundation to health starts in the gut.
- We believe that with the right tools, you can take control of your health and live the life you want.
- We believe that if you understand FDA compliance, we should put your application at the top of the stack. (;
If you share these beliefs and meet the job requirements, we'd love to see your application. https://forms.gle/uJBgqBqKXLhq3A1v8
