Senior Content Marketing Strategist

About Atticus

At any given time, 16 million Americans are experiencing a crisis that requires urgent help from our legal system or government. The right assistance could transform their lives. But today, most never get it. 

Atticus makes it easy for any person in crisis to get the life-changing aid they deserve. In just three years, we’ve become the leading platform connecting people with disabilities to government benefits. We also help victims of accidents, misconduct, and violence get compensation from insurance. So far, we’ve gotten thousands of people access to over $2B in life-changing aid, and we’re just getting started.

We've helped more than 20,000 people in need (see our 6,000+ five-star reviews) and raised more than $50 million from top VC firms like Forerunner, GV (Google Ventures), and True Ventures. (We just closed our Series B round in May 2023, so we're well-funded for the foreseeable future.) We're small but moving fast — our team grew from 32 to 60 last year and we expect to double in size again in 2023.

The Job

The clients we serve have been wading through opaque, jargon-filled legal systems. The content we create should stand in stark contrast — offering clarity, consistency, and transparency.

You should be excited about creating, optimizing, and repurposing content across several touchpoints—alongside our Head of Content and Content Marketing Lead. Whether it’s an ad, a video, an email reminder, a chatbot, or a landing page — you’ll ensure we’re on brand, positioned to convert, and creating a seamless client experience.

While you’ll assist our editorial team in optimizing the content we write for search, this role will also be highly cross-functional. As a content function, we’ll serve as the “clearing house” for content and copy — providing support and oversight to our Product, CX, Bizops, and Growth teams. You’ll have an opportunity to collaborate across the business, ensuring that copy is effective and consistent across channels. 

To start, you’ll:

• Create content across mediums. Whether it’s a display ad, a web page, an email drip, a case study, an Instagram carousel, or a video script — you’ll connect the narrative across channels.

• Recycle and translate content to expand our reach and impact (ie. Turning a blog post into an email, a long form video into a Youtube short, an Instagram carousel into an SMS campaign, etc). 

• Test, edit, and optimize content that’s underperforming, or inconsistent with our brand voice and tone.

• Collaborate with functional leaders across the business (Product, CX, Growth, etc.) to deliver assets that convert and enhance the user journey. 

• Assist the content team with editorial writing and editing as needed.

Qualifications

Required:

• First and foremost, you’re a great writer. You can grab someone’s attention online, tell them a great story, build their trust, and persuade them to take the next step. 

• You have meaningful experience as a content strategist, with demonstrated success converting and nurturing users. 

• You’re a strong collaborator, with a proven track record of successfully working cross-functionally to hit shared goals. 

• You work well with a high degree of autonomy, staying committed to quality and maintaining attention to detail. 

• You have a demonstrated commitment to doing good and helping people.

Bonus / Nice-to-Have:

• You’ve written and edited in spaces (like this one) where writing good content means diving into complex fields and building relationships with subject-matter experts. 

• You’ve worked on video content in addition to written collateral.

• You have experience with social media — and have created or repurposed content that gets shared as well as viewed. 

Please submit writing samples or a portfolio link with your application.

Benefits

This is a rare opportunity to join a startup that has strong traction (substantial funding, well-respected backers, tremendous growth, and many happy customers) but is still small enough that you can have a huge impact and play a role in shaping our culture.

We’re a certified B Corporation tackling a critical social problem. Our mission to help people in need drives everything we do, and your work here will touch many lives.

We offer competitive pay — including equity — and generous benefits:

• Medical and dental insurance with 100% of employee premiums covered

• 15 vacation days & ~19 paid holidays each year (including two weeks at end-of-year)

• Free membership to OneMedical

• $1,000 reimbursable stipend for education and training outside of work

• Student loan repayment assistance, 401(k), and optional HSA

• Free snacks, drinks, weekly lunches, and regular team dinners/events/retreats

• Humble, thoughtful, smart, fun colleagues 

Location & Covid

Today, about half our team are in Los Angeles or Phoenix (where we have offices) and half are fully remote and spread across the U.S. There are two options for this job:

1. Live in Los Angeles, work a few days a week (or more) out of our beautiful office in the Arts District.

2. Live wherever, work remotely, and travel to LA (on the company dime) as needed to be with your colleagues —somewhere between monthly and quarterly.

In short: You can do this job well remotely, and we’re committed to empowering everyone with flexibility. But we care a lot about building a great culture and we think some interactions need to happen in person, so we put a lot of thought into retreats, offsites, and other ways to gather. 

As for Covid: When the pandemic started, we immediately shifted to fully remote to protect our team and shuttered our office. Today, everyone on the team is vaccinated, and many come in often (though we don’t require it). Going forward, you can expect that vaccinations will be required for all employees (unless medically unable) and that if a variant emerges that makes in-person work unsafe for vaccinated people, we’ll close our office, cease any travel, and do whatever it takes to protect and support our team.
