What we're looking for

We are looking for a part-time content writer (10-15 hrs/week) to develop and produce written materials for Primitives.
This individual should be an exceptional writer, well-versed in speaking to younger audiences (primarily GenZ and younger Millennials). We care a lot about creating engaging, high quality content that is smart, quippy, and culturally informed. SEO is a priority but we don’t believe it should stand in the way of delightful writing.
You will have a unique opportunity to lay the foundation for our online editorial presence and define our newsletter strategy. We are very interested in online culture, profiles, and creating an immersive content-driven experience.
Maybe you’ve been running your own personal newsletter, have spent time reporting, or writing brand-driven content in the past. Either way, we hope you live and breathe the internet and are excited to meet you :)
