Job description

Why Write of Passage?

We’re looking for the brightest talent to join us in creating the best online writing school in the world.

 

Write of Passage began in 2019 as an experiment: How do we teach writing for the Internet Age?

 

In three years, we’ve run nine online cohorts of our flagship course. Over 1,000 students from all over the world have learned a system for publishing quality ideas, connecting with like-minded people, and elevating their careers through writing on the Internet. Our graduates are using online writing to build audiences, launch businesses, and make an impact—living life on their terms!

 

Write of Passage is now considered the gold standard for community-driven, cohort-based, online courses. And, we’re growing. Our vision is to build a global platform for writing instruction in the 21st-century, while delivering the best educational experience in the world.

What You’ll Be Doing

Well, this is where you shoot your shot. 

Dazzle us. Describe what you would like to do, why you want to do it, and why we need it—and you.

As you consider your application:

  • Show us you understand Write of Passage. 

  • What strengths can you help us double down on? 

  • What areas can you improve?

Design a project. Pitch us a role. Create something that can bring tremendous new value to Write of Passage in a way that only you can, using your unique combination of strengths, skills, background, and interests.

Why You?

You’re imaginative, perceptive, and creative. You have a passion to help people change the world—both our students and our team. You’re a “yes, and …” kind of person, always looking to take great ideas and make them more efficient and effective. You have belief in your ideas and the belief they can be improved with data and feedback. Bonus points for being passionate about writing. 

You’ll love working at Write of Passage if:

  • You value autonomy and embrace the responsibility that comes with it.

  • Quality is your middle name. You pay meticulous attention to detail and respond well to feedback from peers and customers.

  • You believe in rapid progress over perfection.

You’ll dislike working at Write of Passage if:

  • You’re looking for a comfortable job at a big corporation where you can easily slot into an existing role and scope-of-work.

  • You believe long-form writing is dead.

  • Opportunities to use feedback to iterate and improve don’t interest you.

Our Values

 

Students first: We do what we do for the students. We’re obsessed with feedback in all directions, and we’re okay doing some things that don’t scale.

 

Second to none: Excellence is non-negotiable. Quality wins. Details matter. Our goal is to be the best online learning experience in the world.

 

Hearts on fire: Obsessions, welcome. Passion, enthusiasm, and deep convictions loosely held add texture to our people and culture. Bring it.

 

Writers always: Founded on the power of online writing, this will always be our foundation. To stay connected with our students and ourselves, we engage in the practice ourselves.

Work With Us

We’re a group of whip-smart, talented believers who move quickly, yet thoughtfully. We’re exuberant about the work we do, and the obscure personal interests we pursue. We work smart, not hard.

 

This isn't your average corporate job. You'll have loads of autonomy in your day-to-day. We have a culture of feedback and collaboration. We leave our egos at the door and help one another thrive.

 

Our students and employees are top-caliber folks with lofty visions and influence. We’re privately owned so we call the shots. And like the 1927 Yankees, we’re an all-star team. We’re very ambitious, but that drive never compromises our loyalty to our students and one another.

 

Write of Passage will always be a delightful place to work.

Benefits:

  • Full-time, remote work

  • Occasional travel for team retreats

  • Flexible, asynchronous work combined with connection and synchronicity

  • 21 days PTO, full benefits, and retirement contribution matching

  • Annual salary of $60,000+

We’re confident this will be some of the most meaningful and enjoyable work you do in your career. Please, join us! —The Write of Passage Team
