Web Content Assistant

2 weeks ago


Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa JobRack Full time
The core team consists of an editor-in-chief, executive editor, manager, and content manager, all working fully remotely.

They work with five other contractors:
a Filemaker developer, a Wordpress developer, a newsletter producer, an editor, and an editorial assistant.

The company's mission is to help its readers get the best possible trips; its travelers are the top priority.

As a small company without the capacity to constantly manage staff, they need self-motivated team members who believe in their mission.

If this sounds like a place for you, read on

About the role:

In this role, you will:

  • Build new articles in WordPress (the text will be written by a journalist; you will need to format it to the company's style, process photos, build slide shows, etc.)
  • Suggest ideas to improve SEO rankings without sacrificing editorial quality
  • Look for ways to make the software tools that the company is using work together seamlessly, and suggest new tools to improve efficiency and automate certain tasks
  • Revise outdated information on the website
  • Make sure certain styles of content are consistent across the site
  • Monitor incoming reader comments
  • Upload new newsletter subscribers to Mailchimp
  • Publish trip reviews on the website
  • Make changes to online questionnaires via Gravity Forms
  • Check travel specialists' websites for inappropriate use of the company's logo
  • Analyze data
  • Write howto guides to train future hires
  • Do other tasks as needed
Some of these tasks are done daily, others weekly, monthly, or as one-off projects.

You need to be intrinsically motivated and comfortable performing rote work using a variety of software tools, while being mindful enough when doing so to spot problems/mistakes and fix them.


For the first few weeks, you will have a part-time trial period, so that both parties can ensure it's a good fit.

Training will be included, but you will be expected to learn quickly and build the capacity to problem-solve on your own.

You will start with tasks that require only brief training, and the major introductory task will be building articles/content in WordPress.

After the first few weeks, the role will grow into a full-time position.

For the first few weeks at least, you will need to be available for Zoom meetings at 11 AM EST every weekday and for meetings from 9 AM EST until 1 PM EST at least three days of the week.


Beyond that, there is great flexibility in your working hours, as long as you get your work done (in fact, it's an advantage if some of your working hours take place on weekends).


About you:

  • Tech savviness
  • Extensive knowledge of WordPress, along with plugins like OptinMonster
  • At least 2 years of experience creating and running systems that keep a business going
  • Knowledge of GSuite (Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, etc.)
  • Knowledge of HTML
  • Knowledge of Google Analytics
  • Knowledge of SEO
  • Facility with marketing platforms such as Mailchimp, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube
  • Familiarity with Zoom webinars
  • Excellent English skills, both spoken and written
  • Selfmotivation — you need to be someone who takes pride in doing a good job
What's in it for you?
- $1400 - $1800 per month
  • Fulltime & fully remote
  • Flexible working hours (Monday
  • Sunday), apart from some required overlap with U.S. time zones
  • Opportunity to get in at the ground floor and shape the company as it grows, with your role growing accordingly
If you apply, JobRack will respond promptly and keep you updated throughout the process.

As part of the hiring process, please then expect the process to include:

2 - Being invited to record a short video to introduce yourself

3 - Completing test tasks, if short-listed

4 - Attending video interviews where you will have the opportunity to talk more about your previous experience and the new role

Salary:
R26, R33,950.00 per month

Application Question(s):

  • How many years of experience do you have in creating and running systems that keep a business going?
  • Do you have experience with building new articles in WordPress?
  • Do you have experience with SEO strategies?
