Job description
Hey there, word wizard — we’ve been looking for you.
Volume Nine is on the hunt for a content strategist and copywriter who’s equal parts creative, curious, and obsessed with building smart, strategic content that helps brands grow.
If you love writing, editing, brainstorming, briefing, experimenting with AI, AND actually want your work to make a measurable impact — let’s talk.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be the go-to person for content strategy on several client accounts. You’re not managing clients directly (no weekly reporting or juggling 12 Zooms), but you are talking to them regularly — getting to the heart of what they need, then making the magic happen.
That means:
- Creating and owning editorial calendars
- Interviewing clients and turning their ideas into actionable content strategies
- Writing original content when needed — from website copy to blog posts to social blurbs
- Creating detailed briefs that make freelancers’ lives (and yours) easier
- Editing and QA’ing content for quality, voice, clarity, and SEO best practices
- Managing freelance writers — assigning projects, reviewing drafts, and keeping things on track
- Staying curious about what’s working (and what’s not) through content performance analysis
- Keeping your finger on the pulse of content trends, SEO updates, and what AI can do for us next
- Continuously refining and improving how we do content
About Volume Nine
We’re a fully remote digital marketing agency that’s been helping brands grow through SEO, content, and social for nearly 20 years. Our team is small but mighty — built on shared values like helpfulness, personal accountability, continuous learning, and strong communication.
Before you apply, a few heads-up:
We take hiring seriously — and we’re really trying to filter out all the AI spam. So here’s what to expect in the process:
- A short questionnaire to show us you read this post (please don’t have AI fill it out 🙃)
- A step that asks you to make a video for us
- A writing sample
- At least 2 real convos with our team

Not afraid to test, improve, and evolve content processes
$65,000/year salary
100% remote work (you just need to be in the U.S.)
Flexible scheduling and a strong respect for work-life balance
Unlimited PTO
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
