ABOUT THE ROLE
We are hiring a Senior Content Writer & Editor to lead the writing and execution of our most important editorial projects. Working closely with our Content Lead and subject-matter experts across the company, you'll own the ideation, research, writing, and promotional copy behind our flagship reports, guides, essays, and video scripts. This is a hands-on creative and editorial role focused on depth and quality. It's for someone who wants to create great work and is up for the challenge of writing for a smart, skeptical audience.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Writing & Editorial Execution:
Research, write, and edit content across formats, including data-backed industry reports (like our State of Contracts report), guides, lead magnets, essays, articles, and video scripts.
Ideation & Publishing Cadence:
Plan and manage a publishing calendar across reports, guides, and articles, balancing timely commentary on legal AI news with deeper, research-led projects.
Use data to see what resonates and adjust direction as we learn what works.
Packaging & Promotion:
Treat packaging and distribution as part of the writing process, making sure every piece has a strong hook and angle.
Write the surrounding campaign copy for your projects, including marketing emails, social posts, and landing page copy.
QUALIFICATIONS
You are an exceptional writer and self-editor with sharp editorial taste. You know the difference between clean, generic prose and writing that holds a reader's attention, and you hold every piece to that higher standard.
You understand lawyers and the day-to-day of legal work, allowing you to spot the nuances, pain points, and insights that resonate with legal teams.
You have experience in B2B SaaS content, journalism, or copywriting, and can point to published work that drove engagement.
You are adaptable and comfortable in a fast-paced, data-driven environment where priorities can shift as we test ideas and follow what works.
You think like a marketer and an editor at the same time. You care as much about how a piece is packaged, positioned, and distributed as you do about the sentences on the page.
You can own projects end-to-end, from initial research to drafting to writing the campaign copy to launch it.
NICE TO HAVES
Direct experience in transactional or corporate law, with knowledge of contract drafting, redlining, and commercial legal work.
Experience working in a fast-paced tech startup environment.
You are a writer first, but also a dynamic and adaptable generalist. You enjoy working across different formats, projects, and tools.
