Do you always have a pen on hand? Have you written for a school newspaper, literary magazine, or a professional news or entertainment site? Are you a graduate student or freelancer looking for a contract writing opportunity? Do you love a good Oxford Comma? Great – this may be the writing and research gig for you.
As one of the fastest growing tech companies in NYC and the leader in revolutionizing how Americans move from one home to another, the Updater team gets pretty busy. We need a brilliant part-time writer to help our Digital Content Manager churn out blog posts, client testimonials, copy for infographics, contribute to our social media strategy, and investigate the next hot topics in the moving industry. This part-time job is an excellent opportunity for any MFA student or freelancer looking to gain experience with a powerhouse marketing and content team.

As our Content Intern, you’ll regularly come up with a list of topics relevant to the relocation industry, write and schedule tweets, and work on blog posts assigned (and ultimately edited!) by our Digital Content Manager. On a typical day, you'll be doing anything and everything from assisting with blog posts and basic website updates (some HTML knowledge required) to working on SEO implementation. In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to work on a side project of your choosing and own its execution from start to finish.

Responsibilities: 

  • Create and maintain an ongoing list of relevant relocation industry topics
  • Write for the Updater blog – with your own author bio and headshot!
  • Craft copy and schedule posts for Updater's social media accounts
  • Write email copy for our sales and success teams to use
  • Share new ideas to improve existing processes and actively seek solutions to our biggest pain points
  • ... and much more!

About You:

  • You’re a rising junior or senior looking for a hands on writing gig with an innovative startup
  • You have at least a working knowledge of Squarespace, Hootsuite, and/or Marketo
  • You have impeccable grammar and believe in the power of a well-placed Oxford Comma
  • You’re extremely detail- and goal-oriented
  • You like working on a fast-paced, friendly team!
  • You’ve moved at least once in your life and dream of a world where moving doesn’t suck
  • You can work from our HQ in Union Square

A month at Updater might include:

  • Catered Monday breakfasts, Friday lunches, and rip-roaring happy hours
  • Dogs in the office!
  • Awesome off-site activities, like zombie laser tag and Escape the Room (just to name a few!)
  • Cross-functional collaboration with other teams at Updater
  • Group outings to NYC Meetup events

Compensation:

  • This is a paid internship
