Full Time 1400.00 – 1800.00 USD Type: Monthly
WendyPerrin.com is looking to hire a friendly, tech-savvy Content and Travel Assistant with excellent spoken and written English, and meticulous attention to detail.
In this role, you will:
- Build new articles in WordPress (the text will be written by a journalist; you will need to format it to the company’s style, process photos, build slide shows, etc.)
- Revise outdated information on the website
- Publish trip reviews on the website
- Make sure certain styles of content are consistent across the site
- Look for ways to make the software tools that the company is using work together seamlessly, and suggest new tools to improve efficiency and automate certain tasks
- Monitor incoming reader comments
- Upload new newsletter subscribers to Mailchimp
- Make changes to online questionnaires via Gravity Forms
- Check travel specialists’ websites for inappropriate use of the company’s logo
- Analyze data
- Suggest ideas to improve SEO rankings without sacrificing editorial quality
- Write how-to guides to train future hires
- Do other tasks as needed
Some of these tasks are done daily, others weekly, monthly, or as one-off projects. You need to be intrinsically motivated and comfortable performing rote work using a variety of software tools while being mindful enough when doing so to spot problems/mistakes and fix them.
For the first few weeks, you will have a part-time trial period, so that both parties can ensure it’s a good fit. Training will be included, but you will be expected to learn quickly and build the capacity to problem-solve on your own. You will start with tasks that require only brief training, and the major introductory task will be building articles/content in WordPress.
After the first few weeks, the role will grow into a full-time position. For the first few weeks at least, you will need to be available for Zoom meetings at 11 AM EST every weekday and for meetings from 9 AM EST until 1 PM EST at least three days of the week.
Beyond that, there is great flexibility in your working hours, as long as you get your work done (in fact, it’s an advantage if some of your working hours take place on weekends).
To be a successful candidate, you need:
- Attention to detail
- Excellent English skills, both spoken and written
- Tech savviness
- Knowledge of WordPress
- Experience improving processes and systems that keep a business going
- Knowledge of GSuite (Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, etc.)
- Familiarity with Zoom webinars
- Brownie points for:
- Time spent living and/or studying in the U.S.
- Knowledge of HTML
- Familiarity with WordPress plug-ins like OptinMonster
- Knowledge of Google Analytics
- Knowledge of SEO
- Familiarity with marketing platforms such as Mailchimp, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram
- Self-motivation – you need to be someone who takes pride in doing a great job
Our ideal candidate is conscientious and enthusiastic, with great attention to detail and an excellent memory. You’ll be required to take on rote tasks, but with a critical eye so that you can catch mistakes or potential problems.
What’s in it for you?
- $1400 – $1800 per month*
- Full-time & fully remote
- Flexible working hours (Monday – Sunday), apart from some required overlap with U.S. time zones
- Opportunity to get in at the ground floor and shape the company as it grows, with your role growing accordingly
*Please note that this is a gross salary and that you are responsible for any tax-related procedures in your country of residence. We kindly ask you to apply only if you are happy to work remotely as an independent contractor.
