About the Role

We’re looking for a versatile, creative, and highly organized Content Marketing Writer & Editor to join our marketing team. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of storytelling, brand voice, and content strategy — someone who can move seamlessly from crafting compelling social media posts to editing long-form thought leadership, to writing workshop copy that converts.

You’ll be the connective tissue across MEA’s content ecosystem, helping to shape how our brand shows up across every channel. A key part of this role involves editing, publishing and developing content that reaches a growing audience passionate about midlife transformation. You’ll also support paid social efforts, contribute to our blog, and ensure every piece of content we produce reflects MEA’s voice: warm, wise, grounded, and inspiring.

What You’ll Do

Content Writing & Editing

• Write, edit, and proofread content across all marketing channels, including social media, blog posts, email campaigns, landing pages, and workshop promotional copy
• Manage and edit blogs/newsletters on Substack — from content planning and editing drafts to publishing and repurposing across channels
• Develop compelling narratives that bring MEA’s mission to life and resonate with our audience of midlife adults seeking purpose, community, and transformation
• Maintain a consistent, on-brand voice and tone across all content, ensuring alignment with MEA’s warm, wise, and grounded identity

Social Media & Paid Social

• Create and schedule engaging social media content across platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and others as needed)
• Support paid social campaigns by writing ad copy, developing creative briefs, and collaborating with the team on targeting and performance optimization
• Monitor social media trends and identify opportunities to insert MEA’s voice into relevant cultural conversations around aging, wellness, purpose, and midlife

Project Management & Collaboration

• Manage content calendars and editorial workflows using Monday.com, ensuring deadlines are met and stakeholders are aligned
• Collaborate cross-functionally with the marketing team, facilitators, and leadership via Slack and other tools to gather inputs, review content, and coordinate launches
• Track content performance metrics and use insights to continuously refine the content strategy

Who You Are

• An exceptional writer and storyteller with 3–5+ years of experience in content marketing, editorial, or a similar role
• Experienced editor with a sharp eye for detail, structure, and voice consistency
• Comfortable writing across formats — from punchy social captions to long-form blog posts to email sequences to polished marketing copy
• Familiar with managing and growing a Substack, newsletter, or similar publication
• Highly organized and process-driven, with hands-on experience using project management tools (Monday.com preferred) and communication tools like Slack
• A creative thinker who can generate fresh angles and ideas while staying true to a brand’s mission and voice
• Self-motivated and able to manage multiple projects and deadlines independently in a remote environment
• Knowledgeable about social media best practices and paid social fundamentals (Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, etc.)
• Enthusiastic about using AI as a creative partner — you have hands-on experience writing and editing AI-assisted content and see tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI platforms as force multipliers for producing high-quality work faster, not shortcuts that replace great writing
• Passionate about (or genuinely curious about) the topics MEA explores: midlife, aging, purpose, wisdom, personal transformation, and community

Nice to Have

• Experience working with personal brands and thought leadership content
• Background in the wellness, hospitality, personal development, or education space
• Experience writing to an older audience (late 40s-70s)
• Familiarity with SEO best practices and content optimization
• Experience with email marketing platforms (e.g., Mailchimp, HubSpot)
• Experience with Substack
• Basic graphic design skills or experience collaborating with designers on visual content (Canva, Figma, or Adobe Creative Suite)
