A fast-growing content studio is on the hunt for a sharp, curious, and creative newsletter writer. This gig isn’t about churning out generic updates — it’s about capturing the voices of startup founders and turning their journeys into powerful weekly narratives.
They’re working with clients across the tech and startup world — from early-stage disruptors to scaling businesses.
Each week, you’ll help bring founder stories to life through engaging, first-person-style newsletters that explore the wins, the failures, the pivots, and the strategies behind the scenes.
Think of it as ghostwriting with soul — weaving storytelling with insight to connect with readers who are founders, operators, and curious minds hungry to learn from real experiences.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Writing newsletter editions based on client-provided interviews, milestone timelines, or rough outlines
- Turning founder interviews into compelling stories that feel personal, authentic, and strategic
- Editing and publishing directly in Beehiiv (no worries if you haven’t used it before – they’ll walk you through it)
- (Optional) Doing light research or proposing stronger hooks and headlines to boost engagement
This Role Is Perfect for Someone Who:
- Has experience in ghostwriting, journalism, or case study writing
- Can adapt to a founder’s tone of voice and write in a conversational, smart, and strategic way
- Understands how to appeal to startup founders, operators, and entrepreneurs
- Is comfortable working asynchronously (they use Notion, so you’ll get clear briefs upfront)
- Communicates clearly, hits deadlines, and is always open to feedback
- Loves storytelling and has a feel for what makes content memorable and shareable
Bonus Points (Not Required):
- You’ve worked with Beehiiv before
- You’re familiar with the startup or tech world
- You enjoy listening to founder interviews or startup podcasts
Logistics & Payment:
- This is a paid trial for four newsletter editions
- If things go well, there’s long-term, consistent work across multiple clients
- Pay is a flat fee per edition (to be negotiated based on experience)
- Hourly range: $4.00 – $15.00/hour
- Open to intermediate-level freelancers
- Duration: 1 to 3 months to start, with opportunity to grow
