Content Writer (Remote, £31-33k)

Responsibilities

• The heart of this role is the content creation itself - taking a brief and working with a combination of your own skill and our cutting-edge AI tooling to turn it into a genuinely good piece of content.
• You’ll work on a varied mix of content for your assigned portfolio of clients, including (but not limited to) landing pages, informational content, comparison pieces, and listicles.
• Every article we produce needs to win the trust of readers, capture the voice of the brand, and be built to perform in both AI Search (GEO) and legacy search.
• You’ll need a genuine interest in how GEO works and the ability to learn quickly, because it shapes how we build every content piece.
• You will be expected to feed back on what works (and what doesn’t) so we can get better faster.
• To succeed in this role, you need to be comfortable with leveraging AI for the parts of the writing process it’s great at, then build on top of this.
• AI handles the groundwork; your judgment and skill is what lifts the output above what any tool produces on its own.
• You’ll still have plenty of room for craft and creativity - deciding what’s actually good is the part we can’t automate.
• Communication, both with clients and the wider team, is also a core part of the role.
• You will be joining a small but growing team of four writers, and will work closely with our Content, Strategy, and Design teams.

Requirements

• We’re looking for an experienced writer who can work well both independently and as part of a team.
• We’d expect at least 2-4 years of writing and editing experience.
• Excellent writing and grammar, and the discipline to fact-check every stat, price, and claim against primary sources are hard requirements.
• You’ll need to be confident in getting up to speed fast on unfamiliar B2B and SaaS topics and turn them into compelling, user-friendly content.
• Strong critical thinking is a must-have at Ellipsis! You’ll need to be confident weighing sources, questioning a brief that doesn’t add up, and making sound editorial judgement calls without constant guidance.
• The ideal candidate will also be able to demonstrate the following soft skills:
• Proven organisational skills: You must be obsessive with deadlines, managing and updating tasks, and totally reliable.
• Fantastic communication skills: Remote work relies on mutual trust, so frequent and clear written communication is essential.
• Receptive to feedback with no ego and solutions-oriented: You can take an edit or a critique, act on it, and get better.
• High level of self-awareness, a “people person”: You’ll be dealing with members of the team on a daily basis, so this is an integral part of the role.

Preferred

• A working understanding of GEO would be an advantage.

Benefits

• This is a full-time, 100% remote role. You’ll be a full team member, and involved in our team projects, work, and meetups.
• £31-33k/year salary, depending on experience, with pension benchmarked to UK rates.
• 28 days of paid holiday, with an additional 1 paid holiday day a year with each year of tenure, up to a maximum of 5 additional days.
• 4-day work week, once a month.
• Genuinely flexible working.
• Regular team retreats (~1 per year); last was Istanbul, previously in Edinburgh, Oxford, Madrid, and Budapest.
• Time and budget for learning and development.
• Enhanced maternity/paternity leave, and sick pay.
