Copywriter/Content Manager, Education

Create educational content that establishes Pellego as the industry leader in transaction knowledge

Compensation. $80,000 - $150,000
Location. Remote

Details

We don't teach agents how to get clients. We teach them how to do their transactions. We want to develop the reputation of being #1 in the industry for transaction knowledge.

Likewise, we want our agents to actually know what they're doing, so our reputation grows as other agents observe our agents and so that we reduce the risk of something going wrong and getting sued.

Your job is to create educational resources for our agents that teaches them everything from the basics of writing their first offer to a nuance about different deed types to when to check one box versus another.

You will build this content by interviewing our managing brokers and outside experts as needed.

You will start by having our managing brokers create screencasts and turning those into guides. You will oversee the editing of those screencasts. The videos should be detailed yet easy to digest. Professional yet light hearted.

You will also help with packaging up content for monthly newsletters and segmenting the content to post on social media.

This is an everything job. It includes little things like being first defense on the CEO's inbox to big things like managing projects and responsibilities that aren't yet big enough to hire someone for.

For example, we need someone who will identifying the recurring events we should sponsor in each city, and help hire and oversee the super part time staff who will manage the booth at those events.

We don't have a marketing manager, so that falls on you and the CEO.

Likewise, we don't have an HR manager, so hiring in general falls on the CEO. Wading through applications to eliminate the obvious bad ones falls on you. We don't have a
