Job Summary

Owns and shapes the content lifecycle for on-site firearms guides, comparisons, and roundups, driving research, accuracy, and audience trust while collaborating across teams on topic development, editing, and community representation.

  • Manages topic development from SEO insights through to reader-friendly breakdowns
  • Ensures factual accuracy and editorial quality in a shooting-focused audience

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • On-site content (writing new guides, comparisons, and best-of roundups, and updating and rebuilding existing ones)
  • Independent research (surfacing expert testing, ballistic data, and trade sources, and keeping every attribution and link intact in the finished piece)
  • Content quality review (reading drafted and published work and flagging what is inaccurate, awkward, or off-key for a shooting audience)
  • Topic and angle development (taking a search opportunity from our SEO lead and shaping it into how someone in this space would actually break the subject down)
  • Occasional photography and graphic design coordination
  • Community presence (representing the brand in firearms communities, including Reddit)
  • Cross-team sounding board (reviewing email and campaign copy, and flagging where the site itself gets in a buyer's way)

Requirements

  • You buy ammunition and shoot regularly, across handgun, rifle, and shotgun
  • Volunteers what you know instead of waiting to be asked for it
  • Fluent in the US ammunition market, including what is available, what it costs, and what people actually run
  • Professional writing experience with published work you can share
  • Writes clean, accurate English prose
  • Has used Claude or a comparable AI tool for research and can walk us through how
  • Comfortable working asynchronously in a project management tool such as ClickUp
  • Available for ongoing part-time work (~20 hours/week) as an integrated member of the team; this is a long-term seat, not a gig

Preferred

  • Published bylines in firearms, hunting, or outdoor media
  • Reloading, competitive shooting, hunting, or CCW instruction experience
  • Working knowledge of SEO fundamentals
  • Experience in retail firearms or ammunition, or with an FFL

Benefits

  • Paid time off
  • The first 90 days are a mutual look at whether this is the right fit for both parties
  • Real ownership of a content library a lot of people read, and a direct line to the CMO
  • Your judgment as a shooter changes what we publish. This is not a seat where domain knowledge gets overridden by a keyword tool
