Blog Writer, Freelance, Editorial Team

​​About the Role:

Hims & Hers is seeking a Freelance Blog Writer to join our Editorial Content team as an independent contractor. Do you love scouring the internet for the latest, greatest, or sometimes strangest ways to keep your hair looking and feeling its best? Are you interested in dissecting and discussing the latest industry research to help people learn about their mental health? Does the thought of folks finding the right treatments to overcome their struggles in the bedroom make you feel warm and tingly?

If so, we want to connect!

Specifically, we’re looking for journalists, blog writers, columnists and creative writers who are passionate about everything health — hair care, mental health, sex, etc.

You Will:

• The successful freelance contributor will be nimble, collaborative and extremely passionate about telling the little stories that can make big differences.
• You’re up to the challenge of impressing readers while also knowing how to wink at Google’s web crawlers along the way. Your writing is creative, informative and fun, but you also understand how keywords are used and why digital marketers are so obsessed with them. You know how to get the most SEO juice out of a topic while always putting the needs of the reader front and center.
• You’re adept at keeping up with hard deadlines, making pivots on the fly and researching sometimes technical data (and distilling it into easily digestible bits of writing).
• You’re skilled at distilling notes from strategists, editors, and medical reviewers to make each article the most compelling, technically accurate piece of info a discerning Googler could ask for.
• We’re changing the way folks think about their healthcare — and that starts with a little expertise, a little hand-holding, and a lot of compassion for our customers. 
• These articles will be most peoples’ first touchpoint with the brand, so smart, accessible, and enjoyable content is key to starting that journey on the right foot.

Freelance Services to Be Provided:

• Write compelling, accessible, authoritative content across the Hims & Hers blogs consistent with content briefs and medical research packets provided for each assignment by our in-house editorial and SEO teams. 

• Write complete articles that include a mix of footnotes, reference lists, and a comprehensive SEO report (Experience with Frase, Clearscope, etc. a plus).

• Learn the Hims & Hers brand and tone guidelines and use them to inform writing from a high level.

• Distill medically complex information to easily digestible action items for the everyday reader.

• Revise work as necessary based on feedback from editorial, SEO, and medical reviewers.

You Have:

• 5 years editorial experience, preferably for both brands and publishers, preference for publishers with a strong SEO strategy.

• Excellent time management and ability to make weekly deadlines.

• Proven track record writing excellent content about a variety of topics. 

• Strong creative, conversational writing style.

• Experience using insights and strategic thinking to shape priorities.

• Experience driving complex projects in a fast-paced environment.

This freelance role is an independent contractor position. The anticipated compensation for this role will be between $400 and $500 per article, with an expected two to five submissions per week. These fees are subject to adjustment based on a range of factors including skill set, experience and training, and geographic location.
