Marketing Copywriter - Content (Remote/Volunteer)

THIS IS AN UNPAID, REMOTE VOLUNTEER POSITION. Please read carefully before applying.

Background: Pitch Labs is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that educates, empowers, and inspires young entrepreneurs by providing accessible step-by-step guides, hosting events and workshops, and promoting peer mentorship and development in a community setting. We are 100% volunteer-run, and offer all our resources for free online.
Our team at Pitch Labs is working to make entrepreneurship accessible. We strive to redefine who can be an entrepreneur, highlighting that being an entrepreneur is not about having a specific degree but pursuing one's innate curiosity to learn and develop. We strive to rewrite the narrative of what a successful business and entrepreneur looks like, recognizing that struggles are simply steps to success. We strive to help students understand both the value of always being a mentor and mentee and the value of harnessing their creativity regardless of what career they pursue in the future.

How this role ties into our mission:
We have a vision, we have a platform, but we need a stronger social media presence to help place a spotlight on our resources. Business reaches every single industry and profession in the world, and that means we can relate to everyone in some way, but we need to create interesting content to do so. We welcome new and veteran marketing copywriters who want to learn through research and exploration. All we are looking for in individuals is a desire to help others by promoting the sharing of information in non-mediocre/creative, memorable ways. We want our social media posts to relate to world events and also have valuable business lessons.

• Has academic or professional experience in terms of researching market trends, target audience, and competitors.
• Ability to respond to messaging/emails within 24 hours and flexibility to meet with the team on a weekly basis.

Responsibilities:

• Develop creative and engaging written content for various social media platforms, including but not limited to captions, posts, tweets, and responses, while maintaining the brand’s tone and style.
• Conduct research to understand the target audience, their preferences, and behaviors on social media in order to tailor content that resonates with the audience and increases engagement.
• Stay current with social media trends, hashtags, and platform algorithm changes to capitalize on opportunities for increased visibility and reach.
• Collaborate with the marketing team and graphic designers to ensure content aligns with overall marketing and branding strategies and meets campaign goals.

Time Commitment: THIS IS AN UNPAID, REMOTE #WFH VOLUNTEER POSITION. Although this is a volunteer role, given our startup-like functioning, we only seek active volunteers who are energized, ready to engage and make an impact.
Please be prepared to contribute at least 5 hours a week for at least the next 6 months. As we invest heavily in training each volunteer, we humbly request that if you are unable to meet this time commitment, that you do not proceed with our application further. All volunteers must attend their department’s team meeting or 1-1 meeting every week. We enforce a 24 hour response policy to promote a smooth workflow and mindfulness towards ongoing projects/deadlines that team members are working on.
We are able to accommodate volunteers who need time off for exams, work, family events, etc., as long as these commitments are appropriately conveyed as soon as possible.
