Other
- ScaleMath is hiring a Staff Writer and Editorial Lead to work directly with the founder and help drive high-leverage initiatives across the business.
- This is not a traditional "writing-only" role. You’ll be involved in content and editorial work, but you’ll also jump into partnerships, sales support, client calls, messaging, positioning, internal projects, and whatever else the business needs. The common thread is: you’re a high-judgment operator who can own work end-to-end and ship high-quality outcomes.
- This role exists because our current internal “right hand” is becoming a bottleneck. We need someone with the same level of written English ability and attention to detail to share the load and help ScaleMath move faster without lowering standards.
- We’re looking for someone who fits the following criteria:
- Strategic + hands-on – able to set direction and execute, owning initiatives end-to-end with real accountability
- Exceptional attention to detail – holds a high precision bar and catches issues others miss
- Elite written communicator – writes clearly, confidently, and with strong structure and flow
- High-level copywriter / “sentence designer” – strong at line-level writing: clarity, rhythm, persuasion, and restraint
- Quality bar setter – elevates the standard for what “good” looks like across content and messaging
- Strong editorial judgment – knows what to cut, what to keep, what to emphasize, and what will confuse the reader
- Execution-first mindset – reliably ships finished work, not just drafts, outlines, or ideas
- Brand voice steward – maintains consistency of tone, positioning, and messaging across channels
- Trusted internal reviewer – improves others’ work through thoughtful critique, rewrites, and refinement
- This role will evolve over time, but you can expect to work across areas like:
- Writing and editing high-quality content (including founder-led content)
- Improving messaging, positioning, and narrative clarity across the business
- Reviewing and polishing important documents, emails, and customer-facing assets
- Supporting partnerships: outreach, coordination, follow-ups, and deal flow
- Joining client and partner calls where strong communication matters
- Supporting sales efforts with copy, decks, follow-ups, and materials
- Owning internal initiatives end-to-end (research, execution, and delivery)
- Acting as a force multiplier for the founder and the team
- Work that used to bottleneck now ships consistently, without quality dropping
- Our content, messaging, and outbound feels sharper, clearer, and more “ScaleMath”
- Initiatives move forward because you proactively push them forward
- The founder’s time is protected and the business moves faster
- This role is ideal if you’re someone who:
- Loves writing, editing, and high-quality communication
- Also enjoys business problem-solving and cross-functional execution
- Wants real ownership, not narrow job lanes
- Can switch between “craft” work and “operator” work without losing quality
- UK is preferred, but we’re open to hiring globally for the right person.
