Managing Editor

Creating Wealth Publications is a small content licensing company. We’re new, growing, and looking for the right candidate to assist with writing, research, social media, website management, and emailing.
 
Essentially, we’re looking for a Jack and/or Jane of all trades. Someone to make sure we send out high-value, timely, engaging, and clean content. Someone to help us stay organized. Someone to help us manage our web presence.
 
Someone who, when seeing a train barreling down at us, helps us get off that track.
 
To do this, you should be quick with deadlines, flexible with sudden changes, a helpful collaborator, an independent thinker, and a good writer and editor. That’s a given.
 
But we want all of that and more. We’re looking for someone who’s going to grow with and contribute to our company every step of the way. And as you help us grow, you’ll see the scope of your position grow with it.
 
This is a mostly remote position, but we’ll want you to come in to the office at least once a week to check in and strategize.


What We Say We Want You to Do:
  • Edit, proof, produce, and publish content for a blog, courses, and special mailings.
  • Aggregate, update, and (eventually) conceptualize and write reports, tools, checklists, and infographics to attract and incentivize new subscribers.
  • Update, edit, aggregate content, and eventually conceptualize and write reports, both for promotional use (for new subscribers) and as extra fulfillment (for current subscribers).
  • Manage stock portfolios, testimonials, and research to provide legal backup to claims made in editorial and copy.
  • Regularly audit and improve our website; writing and editing content and copy to ensure it’s up to date and easy to use.
  • Support for the editor as he writes/edits/proofs, launching new promotions and products, research, and coordinating production as needed.

What We Actually Want You to Do:
  • Surprise us with incredible, value-adding material without being explicitly asked to create it.
  • Venture far outside of your core competencies to learn new things every day.
  • Actively test out the ideas we recommend on your own so you can report back to readers.
  • Learn more about the direct response business and help come up with new product, marketing, and sales ideas.
  • Hit the pavement, the library, the phone, an interview—anything to properly research an idea.
  • Travel domestically and abroad, when necessary, to work with editors, copywriters, and affiliates on various projects.
  • Collaborate with us on every project from conception to completion.


Hunger, drive, and talent. If not talent, then enough hunger and drive to compensate.
 
We prefer candidates with:
  • A Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, English, Communications or Journalism
  • 2-3 years copywriting/editing experience
  • Excellent oral/written communication skills
  • Financial literacy and knowledge of investing on and off-Wall Street
  • An abundance of personality
 
But we’ll throw it all out the window for the candidate who “wows” us.
 
We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including medical and dental coverage, disability, group life insurance, 401(k), fitness programs, paid holidays, personal leave, and vacation.
 
To apply, follow these instructions:
 
  1. Submit your cover letter and resume in Microsoft Word using the link below.
  2. Provide a 500-1,000 word writing sample about a topic—can either be in the form of a blog post, a report about a topic, or a piece of sales copy. Weave proof for each of the claims you make throughout the piece. Assume the reader has no knowledge of the topic at all. Write conversationally. This can be something you’ve previously published. Be prepared to answer detailed and specific questions about your research and drafting methods.
 
*Full-time, remote position based in Delray Beach, FL.*
 
We offer a wide variety of benefits, programs, and services to our employees, including:
  • Medical, vision, and dental insurance plans.
  • Employer-subsidized parking.
  • 401(k) plan with employer matching.
  • Generous vacation time and paid holidays.
  • Fitness programs and discounts.
  • Casual dress code.
