Social Media Content Strategist & Copywriter

Rise Collective • St. Petersburg, FL

1d • Remote

About The Position

The Scale Space is hiring a US-based, fully remote Social Media Content Strategist & Copywriter to develop and write content for 8 to 10 client brands across med spa, hospitality, real estate, and home services. Organic short-form content is the core of the role: the strategist generates ideas, writes hooks and scripts for Reels, TikToks, and Shorts, and ensures scripts sound natural when spoken. The role also covers paid ad content, VSLs and other long-form sales scripts, landing pages, email campaigns, and SMS.

The person in this role will learn each client's voice, offer, and audience; develop content direction; collaborate with a media buyer by providing testable hooks and variants; and use performance data to guide new content and revisions. They are expected to read scripts aloud, check details such as offers, dates, prices, and disclaimers, and maintain a swipe file of effective work. AI tools are used daily for research, drafts, variations, and efficiency, but the writer must be able to identify and correct AI-generated copy so it sounds authentic.

The position is permanently remote and scheduled 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time. Compensation is $4,000 to $5,000 per month USD, based on experience. The hire starts as a contractor and may move to W-2 employment with benefits after a 30-to-90-day trial if the arrangement is a fit for both parties. This is intended as a long-term role, with the opportunity to guide content direction and grow the content team as the client base expands.
