Founder Content Writer / Ghostwriter (Remote)

You find the ideas worth publishing.

Our founders spend every day in strategy calls, client conversations, and internal discussions. You pull out what’s interesting and turn that raw thinking into content people actually want to read.

You’ll write across LinkedIn, X, newsletters, and eventually scripts — in a voice that sounds like the founder, not the person writing for them.

Nothing good stays buried in a transcript. And nothing goes out that sounds like anyone but them.

Compensation:

• Competitive Monthly Retainer

• Base: $1,700-$2,000 / month (paid as an independent contractor)

Who’s This For:

• You can listen to a long conversation and immediately spot the ideas worth turning into content

• You’re naturally curious and usually have one more question to ask

• You can write in someone else’s voice without making them sound like every founder on LinkedIn

• You care as much about what you cut as what you keep

• You understand that a good idea and a good piece of content aren’t always the same thing

• You use AI to move faster, but your writing never reads like AI wrote it

Our Core Values:

We hold every decision, and every hire, against these. If it doesn’t fit, it isn’t us.

• Build It, Don’t Deck It — We ship working things. Nobody here gets paid for a document.

• Taste Is a Skill — Knowing good from almost-good is trainable, testable, and non-negotiable here.

• Test, Don’t Guess — Every opinion is a thesis until the numbers come back.

• Human Where It Counts — We automate the process. We never automate the creative.

What We Offer:

• 100% Remote (you just need high speed internet)

• Direct access to the founders. No layers, no middle management

• More raw material than you’ll know what to do with — calls, stories, ideas, and conversations happening every day

• Real ownership of the written content across multiple founder-led brands

• AI tools and workflows built to speed up the parts of the job that aren’t the writing

• A team of specialists. You write — you’re not expected to manage the calendar, edit the videos, and do five other jobs

• Room to grow as the media team scales

Media Engine:

EverScale is an operational consulting firm. We build the functions founder-led companies never got around to building — then staff them, document them, and hand them over.

We’re doing that to ourselves right now, with media.

Agencies charge a huge fee per brand for exactly this team, and mark it up. We’re building it in-house instead — a real pipeline from research to concept to script to shoot to edit to publish to performance, and back into research.

Most ghostwriting happens at arm’s length: a brief, a monthly call, a guess at the voice. If you’ve ever wanted to write from inside a company instead of guessing at it from outside, this is that job.

Responsibilities:

• Review founder calls, transcripts, and notes for ideas worth publishing

• Interview founders to get the story underneath the first answer

• Write across LinkedIn, X, newsletters, and eventually scripts

• Research supporting examples, trends, and context when a piece needs more depth

• Keep the library of stories, beliefs, frameworks, and angles current

• Use performance and feedback to sharpen what you write next

• Live by our core values

The Role:

Two halves. You find the idea, and you turn it into something worth publishing.

• Mine the raw material. You’ll have access to founder meetings, transcripts, client conversations, notes, and internal discussions. You should be able to find the content inside them without someone handing you a topic.

• Pull out the story. The best idea often isn’t fully formed in the transcript. You ask the follow-up questions that turn a passing comment into a real story, lesson, or point of view.

• Build the library. Great ideas shouldn’t disappear after one post. You keep an organized bank of stories, examples, beliefs, hooks, frameworks, and unused angles we can come back to.

• Own the writing. Take an idea from rough thought to publish-ready piece — angle, hook, structure, draft, revision. If there are multiple good ways in, bring options.

• Learn the voice. Every founder should sound like themselves. You learn how each one thinks, talks, teaches, and jokes until the writing becomes hard to distinguish from their own.

• Write for the platform. A LinkedIn post isn’t an essay with extra line breaks. X isn’t shortened LinkedIn. A newsletter isn’t a collection of social posts. You know how the same idea has to change depending on where it lives.

What you don’t own: overarching brand strategy, publishing, the production calendar, video editing, or managing the creative team. You’ll have ideas and we want to hear them — but your primary job is turning great thinking into great writing.

Requirements:

• Native or fluent English.

• Exceptional writing ability. Ghostwriting, copywriting, journalism, editorial, social, newsletters — the title matters less than the work. Show us your best pieces.

• You can find the idea. You don’t need a perfect brief before you can start.

• You know how to interview. You’re curious, you listen closely, and you know when there’s a better answer one question deeper.

• You understand social writing. You know why some hooks work, why others feel cheap, and how writing changes across platforms.

• You can write in someone else’s voice. Not just clean copy — writing that actually sounds like the person it’s coming from.

• You take feedback well. You’ll revise often and you don’t get precious about a first draft.

• You’re AI-native. You use AI to research, work through ideas, and move faster — but you know when the output is generic, wrong, or simply not good enough.

• Bonus Skill: You’ve ghostwritten for founders, executives, or creators before, especially across multiple voices.

We move fast, the standard is high, and we’re looking for one right person. If that’s you, apply.
