About the Role
Are you ready to change some lives? If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where one day you're a copywriter showing off your dazzling wit through deeply moving copy, and the next you're knee-deep in research for our next life-changing book, then you might be in the right place. We are looking for a high-capacity writer who is willing to do whatever it takes to meet people where they are and lead them to become the best-version-of-themselves

Developing content that has the chance to change a life isn't easy. It takes commitment, honesty, and collaboration. We make commitments to meet our deadlines, research best practices, create multiple iterations on the road to the best option, and enjoy working together for a great mission.

This person will work closely with editors, production/operations, and designers to ensure world-class titles are delivered accurately and on schedule.

- Stay up to date with content trends, tools, and best practices to continuously enhance quality
- Fact-check all content to ensure accuracy and reliability of information
- Ensure consistency in voice, style, and formatting
- Other general administrative duties where necessary

Qualifications:
- A passion for reading and books
- Desire to add enormous value to a growing independent publishing company
- Hunger to grow professionally and learn from those around you
- Willingness to work collaboratively in a team setting
- Passion for owning multiple projects with competing work priorities and regular changes
- Previous writing experience
- Meticulous attention to detail and exemplary organizational skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills

If You Are...
- Committed - Deeply passionate about the mission of Viident and willing to act as a leading voice; eager to go the extra mile in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
- Coachable - Committed to best practices and continuous learning; genuine desire to give and receive feedback to master the Viident voice
- Aware - A thorough understanding of our audience and the ability to talk to them in a way that is simple, relevant, and inspiring

You would be a great fit for Viident!
