As a HALSTEAD content writer, you’ll be working on website designs for various clients, you will be continuously provided space and opportunities to learn new ideas and push your creativity and craft forward. Rather than focusing on only one brand with one message, you will be tasked with jumping between different projects, different clients, and different goals—discovering new skills along the way. You will be challenged with creating a cohesive, powerful brand copy across multiple platforms and mediums. This position is 100% remote.
Tactical responsibilities, typical day stuff:
Produce content that is creative, well-written, and aligned to the client’s strategy.
