Responsibilities:

What You Will Do:

• Write—often about similar topics, and a lot—all day.

You will be in charge of writing numerous landing pages and blog posts each month, and then again the following month, and so on. As an automotive-specific agency, you’re bound to learn a lot about vehicles, car dealerships, auto finance, and vehicle maintenance by sheer repetition, while also finding creative ways to tailor those messages to speak to potential customers. If you’ve had past work or academic experience that was heavily writing-focused, tell us about how you’ve managed your workloads, prioritized tasks, or worked through a creative roadblock.
• Necessity to work expediently and with multiple projects on your plate. Your position is such to help execute the many number of writing and management tasks required either for the day, week or month, across a great deal of different clients, which demands the ability to complete said tasks in an efficient yet thorough manner, to properly serve all of the work that needs to be done. This will include a variety of both content creation and account management tasks, along with due dates that need to be upheld to match both the quality of work desired and the required deadline.

You must be able to follow within the guidelines put forth by both the client and Senior Strategist on what is demanded from said work.
• Demonstrate the ability to learn quickly and frequently. There will be a lot of opportunities to take in and retain a large amount of information in a very short period of time (whether you’re a novice or seasoned in SEO), as SEO is known to change quite often. Our team is often reminded that successful strategies need to leave room for tactics that might fly in the face of best practices if the circumstances warrant it, so any preconceived notions should be made in pencil. Tell us about experiences where you had to question what you thought you knew!

Qualifications:

What You Will Need:

• Languages: English (required), French (an asset)
• Writing Experience. Since content writing is the primary work you’ll be completing in this role, it stands to reason that you being an excellent writer is the main piece of criteria we’re looking for in this role.

From specification and feature-driven landing pages to more educational blog posts, from writing for a blue collar brand/audience to writing for one with an upscale/luxury focus, you need to be able to meet the changing demands of online written work.
• Writing Samples. If you’ve got writing experience, we’d love to see examples of your work online—especially if it emulates a particular brand voice or style. If not, we’re hoping you have a heck of a cover letter. Bonus points if you have anything automotive-related/prior experience.
• Past SEO experience. We’ll start off by saying this isn’t actually a qualification or prerequisite for this position, and to be able to do this job successfully, even if it may be in the job title, it just helps us gauge the level of training and guidance needed. But, if you do have SEO experience, whether you were taught in school, learned on your own, or just picked up some things along the way, we value hearing about your previous SEO knowledge, to see how it can be applied in this role. Mostly, we just want to see how passionate you are about the field.
