Content Writer – Family & Mental Load Content Specialist
About The Position
Client is an AI-powered family organization app designed to function as a “chief of staff for families.” As a growing startup, the team needs a writer (preferably a mom) who can seamlessly adopt an established brand voice and create content that resonates with busy parents, especially moms, without sounding condescending, pandering, or overly generic. The ideal candidate has experience in consumer-focused content, strong brand voice adaptation skills, and a deep understanding of family dynamics, household labor, and mental load topics. This role requires more than strong writing ability; the writer should inherently understand the realities of managing a household and raising children in a modern family and be able to write about those experiences authentically and empathetically. Client strongly prefers a female writer (preferably a mom), though male writers with demonstrated expertise in mental load, household labor, and modern family dynamics will also be considered.
Requirements
- Proven experience in content writing, preferably in consumer, parenting, family, lifestyle, or community-focused brands
- Strong grasp of brand voice and tone replication
- Exceptional email marketing and lifecycle content writing skills
- Ability to write about sensitive topics (e.g., mental load, household labor, family roles) with empathy, nuance, and authenticity
- Deep understanding of modern dual-working family life and the invisible labor involved in running a household
- Ability to take a high-level concept and independently develop complete content with minimal direction
- Experience with conversion-focused writing, including compelling subject lines, CTAs, and engagement campaigns
- Familiarity with SEO content best practices (without sacrificing readability)
- Comfort using AI tools as a support (not a replacement) for writing
- Parent (especially a current mom) or someone with deep familiarity with the target audience strongly preferred
- Ability to work collaboratively and adapt quickly in a startup environment
