Freelance B2B Writer

Seeking boldness, wit, and delicious new ideas from freelance writers. Yes, you read that right. Fenwick is opening our doors (sheepishly) to freelancers who love writing fresh, clear, and concise content, often for B2B.

Now, Chris asked me not to post this (sorry Chris) because our bar for quality writing is pretty high. How could the right person just happen to be perusing their Linkedin right now? Alas, I can't help but hope! So I'm counting on you to spread the word to the best writers you know ;)

FYI: If you're outside the Americas but willing to work EST hours, please apply. No guarantees, but I hope we can still be LinkedIn buds 😇

I can't wait to meet you!

We're hiring a curious writer with an uncommon knack for precision and clarity. What makes our content studio unique is that we help brands think deeper and tell enduring stories that transcend mere corporate interest. In doing so, we help them achieve their goals—including ones they didn’t know they had. We aim to write content that not only helps people do their jobs better, but also that teaches them something new about humanity.

We’re about big ideas explained simply. The ideal candidate is someone who shares our curiosity about the world. Experience in B2B tech is welcomed, but not required.

Responsibilities:

• Write articles, ebooks, research reports, and the like
• Plan and conduct research projects
• Collaborate closely with peers and clients
• Educate others on the value of clear writing

How you'll know this job is for you:

• You're always asking, "How could I say this more succinctly?"
• You savor evocative writing wherever you find it
• You see ad copy and automatically think of ways to improve it
• You often wonder how others experience the world
• You love clever writing, but value clarity more
• You have special interests that fuel your work
• You enjoy working alone, but relish working with others

Bonus:

• You have experience in B2B tech or a related field
• You have basic skills in visual design and/or strong design tastes

Who we’re looking for

An inquisitive individual who excels at conveying complex ideas through well-chosen words. Ideally, you’ll have strong opinions about what stories interest you and should interest the client, based on their customers’ needs. Lots of the job is spending time researching, interviewing, and planning.

People who have succeeded in this role were hungry for feedback and eager to master the craft of writing. They read widely, brought a unique perspective fueled by outside interests, and were eager to help others grow too.

Requisite skills

We'll be extra excited to talk to you if you offer a new perspective and are fascinated by people.

Must haves:

• Fluent command of English
• Ability to write and edit for clarity and concision
• Understanding of content strategy
• An interest in reading and writing
• Experience managing your own projects, establishing timelines, and setting expectations with stakeholders

Nice to haves:

• Understanding of basic UX and layout design a plus

The need

What we need is a writer who can help clients get the writing they need, if not the writing they asked for. The reason for the “strategist” in your title is that you’re highly skilled at writing, but also at finding interesting facts and stories, and filling in the missing pieces for clients.

We’re all here to put 10,000 hours into mastering the skills that most excite us. For you, as a writer, part of the challenge is extrapolating tactical requests, like “write a blog series on law software,” into larger, more meaningful narratives—like explaining the history of corporations and how some of their early quirks have shaped our society. Nine times out of ten, the client won’t have that narrative. Nor will they know they need it. Your job is to find it, help them understand why it’s interesting to their audience, and produce it.

About us

Fenwick is a content studio that helps marketers (mostly at B2B tech companies) achieve greatness through writing and design. Our clients come to us because they have an idea and need someone to bring it to life.

We love to make each other laugh on Slack and frequently share examples of content we wish we'd created ourselves. We're a supportive, open-minded group who care deeply about honing our craft and helping each other learn. We value each team member's diversity of experience and believe we all have lots to teach each other. We're the types of people who are always in the middle of reading three things at once and want to hear what others are reading.

Check out our rebrand and meet the team.

How to apply

With the current volume, we can't respond to everyone. We’ll be most intrigued by applications that:

• Show you have read the job description (you’re already ahead!)
• Can provide evidence of strong writing skills through a well-chosen portfolio piece
• Show curiosity and an eagerness to learn and improve

Please apply through the Typeform linked.

Note: We’re a very small team and due to the volume of applications, we (sadly) don't have time to reply to each one. We do read them all, however, and if it's a good fit, you will hear back.

That said, if you get invited for an interview and enter the hiring process, you will not be ghosted. You’ll get a firm and timely answer.

Good luck!
