About The Position

Mint Studios is a content marketing agency that helps fintech companies like Modulr, Zai, Confused.com, and Jeeves acquire customers with content. We use our four pillar framework to help fintech companies turn their blog into a customer acquisition channel.

• Content strategy based on customer research and focused on Bottom of the Funnel keywords
• Content written for the level of the reader and focused on the company\’s product
• Content based on interviews with subject matter experts
• Content results that can be tracked

We’re currently looking for writers to work with us. If you’re interested, here’s more information on what we’re looking for.

Responsibilities

• Write 3 – 4 articles per month for one client
• Each article is usually 2000 – 3000 words, and takes around 2 weeks to write between rounds of edits
• 90% of articles are based on a recording of an interview with a subject matter expert combined with desk research
• The process includes one outline, then 2 rounds of edits
• Edit content based on feedback
• Complete a comprehensive questionnaire and outline before writing the first draft
• Acquire knowledge about our clients, their products or services and the audience we’re targeting (you don’t need a background in fintech or financial services!)

What we\’re looking for

You don’t have to have a background in fintech – we can teach you that. What we really value is attitude and good writing.

Characteristics of the best writers we work with

• You have clarity of thought. You can put together logical arguments in the written form and when you don’t understand something you’ll take the time to understand it.
• You are inherently curious. You want to understand a topic inside out. You’ll do the right amount of research and ask the right questions till you feel confident writing and talking about the topic.
• You are detail oriented. You care about delivering something great, even when no one is watching.
• You’re constantly thinking of the bigger picture. You like to understand how the content in the interview fits into the product, the client, and the strategy.
• You take responsibility for your skillset. You’re always trying to become a better writer and are open to new processes and ways of working.
• You are empathetic. You can put yourself in the shoes of the reader and of the client. You try to understand their perspective and will ask questions if you don’t.
• You like working with smart, fun and collaborative people where you are supported and your career is developed!

You might not be a good fit if…

• You don’t enjoy explaining complex topics.
• You are a creature of habit and prefer to stick to your own writing processes or are not open to learning new processes.
• You don’t enjoy the research process (understanding the topic, product and the content strategy in depth, listening to and analysing the interview for the main takeaways, etc).
• You don’t like asking for advice, asking questions or you are not comfortable with feedback.
• You are not interested in improving your writing skills.

About Mint Studios

Mint Studios is a content marketing agency that helps fintech companies turn their website blog into a customer acquisition channel. Our main differentiation is that we create content that is optimised for conversions and leads, not just traffic. We do this by creating Bottom of the Funnel content, which involves understanding our client’s ideal customer and creating content that is designed to sell, not entertain.

Compensation and benefits of working with Mint Studios

• We pay $300/£250 per article to begin with, and once you’re trained on our methodology and we’re confident in your writing (this usually takes 3 – 4 articles) we then go to the next stage, where we pay $450/£350 per article.
• For our payment clients, we pay $600/£500 per article once you\’re trained.
• If you pass our “probation period” we can offer a long‑term contract (at least 6 months). We can also offer a full‑time position if you’re interested.
• We pay on‑time, usually on the first Friday of the month.
• As long as articles are delivered on time, you can work when you want.
• You don’t have to know about financial services (but you do have to be willing to learn). We value good writing more.
• You’ll be able to see how your content delivers impact and helps our clients acquire customers.
• We give a lot of detailed feedback. You won’t get vague feedback like “can you make this less confusing?”. We try to make our feedback to the point and we’ll always look for ways to improve the article ourselves (so you’re not left coming up with alternatives alone).
• You’ll have the opportunity to grow: we only hire content strategists from within, and we’re always looking for strategists. You’ll have a chance of learning about content strategy and turning readers into leads. There is also opportunity to join us in a part‑time or full‑time capacity.
