About the Position
Mint Studios is a content marketing agency that helps fintech companies like Modulr, Zai, Confused.com and Jeeves acquire customers with content. We use a four‑pillar framework to turn blogs into customer acquisition channels. The pillars are a customer‑research‑based content strategy focused on bottom‑of‑the‑funnel keywords, content written for the level of the reader and focused on the company’s product, content based on interviews with subject‑matter experts and content results that can be tracked.
Responsibilities
* Write 3 – 4 articles per month for one client.
* Each article is usually 2,000 – 3,000 words and takes around two weeks to write between rounds of edits.
* 90% of articles are based on a recording of an interview with a subject‑matter expert combined with desk research.
* The process includes one outline, then two rounds of edits.
* Edit content based on feedback.
* Complete a comprehensive questionnaire and outline (our version of the brief) before writing the first draft.
* Acquire knowledge about our clients, their products or services and the audience we’re targeting (you don’t need a background in fintech or financial services).
What we’re looking for
* You have clarity of thought and can put together logical arguments in the written form.
* You are inherently curious and want to understand a topic inside out.
* You are detail oriented and care about delivering something great, even when no one is watching.
* You are constantly thinking of the bigger picture and understand how the content fits into the product, client and strategy.
* You take responsibility for your skillset and are open to new processes and ways of working.
* You are empathetic and can put yourself in the shoes of the reader and the client.
* You like working with smart, fun and collaborative people where you are supported and your career is developed.
You might not be a good fit if
* You don’t enjoy explaining complex topics.
* You are a creature of habit and prefer to stick to your own writing processes or are not open to learning new processes.
* You don’t enjoy the research process.
* You don’t like asking for advice, asking questions or you are not comfortable with feedback.
* You are not interested in improving your writing skills.
Compensation and benefits
* We pay $300/£250 per article to begin with. Once you’re trained on our methodology and we’re confident in your writing (this usually takes 3 – 4 articles) we then go to the next stage, where we pay $450/£350 per article.
* For our payment clients, we pay $600/£500 per article once you’re trained.
* If you pass our "probation period", we can offer a long‑term contract (at least six months) and we can also offer a full‑time position if you’re interested.
* We pay on‑time, usually on the first Friday of the month.
* As long as articles are delivered on time, you can work when you want.
* You don’t have to know about financial services (but you do have to be willing to learn). We value good writing more.
* You’ll be able to see how your content delivers impact and helps our clients acquire customers.
* We give a lot of detailed feedback. You won’t get vague feedback like "can you make this less confusing?". We try to make our feedback to the point and always look for ways to improve the article ourselves (so you’re not left coming up with alternatives alone).
* You’ll have the opportunity to grow: we only hire content strategists from within, and we’re always looking for strategists. You’ll have a chance of learning about content strategy and learning how to turn readers into leads. There is also opportunity to join us in a part‑time or full‑time capacity.
