Title:
Lead Writing Specialist (Boutique Educational Consulting)
Commitment:
Part-time (20 hours/week)
Pay:
$40–$45/hr + Commission & Higher Mentoring Rates The Opportunity:
Are you a gifted writer who understands the "science" behind a winning college essay? We are looking for a Lead Writing Specialist to help scale our writing department. This isn't just a remote editing gig; it’s a chance to own the editorial process, train mentors, and build a brand voice on platforms like Reddit and Substack.
This role is perfect for a high-performing consultant ready to step into a leadership and operations capacity without losing the "boots on the ground" experience of mentoring students.
What the Role Looks Like:
• Department Flow:
You’ll be the controller for our writing materials—organizing records and streamlining our internal guides so everything runs like clockwork.
• Quality Control:
You’ll set the schedule and perform QC checks on student essays, ensuring every draft meets our high standards before it hits the submit button.
• Mentor Coaching:
You’ll lead training sessions for our newer mentors, sharing your expertise on how to help students find their unique hook.
• Creative Content:
You’ll participate in our community engagement, writing sharp, insightful content for Substack and participating in admissions discussions on Reddit.
• Direct Mentoring:
You’ll maintain a small, elite cohort of your own students (compensated at a higher rate).
What We’re Looking For:
• Writing Chops:
First and foremost, you are a phenomenal writer and editor. You know how to take a "safe" essay and make it unforgettable.
• The "Consultant" Background:
You have 1–3 years of experience in the college admissions space. You understand the current landscape and what makes an AO stop and pay attention.
• Organizational Zen:
You actually enjoy setting up systems and making sure deadlines are met.
• Voice:
You’re comfortable engaging with the public and can write in a way that is both authoritative and approachable.
Application Requirements
• Please submit your resume along with a redacted draft of your favorite personal statement you’ve advised on. We want to see how you helped a student find their voice.
