Blog Writer, Hers

About the Role:

Hers is seeking a seasoned writer with a passion for women’s health to join our Editorial Content team. 

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 obsessed with the science of self-care? Are you devoted to destigmatizing access to the medications women need to live their best lives? 

If so, we want to connect!

Specifically, we’re looking for a blog writer to lead our editorial work across our Hers Health categories — hair, skin, mental health and weight loss..

​​About You:

The successful writer will be nimble, collaborative and extremely passionate about health and wellness.

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 obsessed with seeing your articles succeed, and always looking for ways to help make search engines pay attention. You have a keen eye for everything that builds trust in a brand. 

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 summarizing and interpreting 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 hand holding, a lot of expertise and endless compassion for our customers. 

These articles will be most peoples’ first touchpoint with the brand, so smart, accessible, authoritative and engaging content is key to starting that journey on the right foot.

• Write complete articles that include a mix of footnotes, reference lists and a comprehensive SEO report (Experience with Frase, Clearscope, etc. a plus).
• Be an advocate for brand authority, using tone guidelines 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.
