About the role
ScaleMath is hiring a Staff Writer and Editorial Lead to work directly with the founder and help drive high-leverage initiatives across the business.
This is not a traditional "writing-only" role. You’ll be involved in content and editorial work, but you’ll also jump into partnerships, sales support, client calls, messaging, positioning, internal projects, and whatever else the business needs. The common thread is: you’re a high-judgment operator who can own work end-to-end and ship high-quality outcomes.
This role exists because our current internal “right hand” is becoming a bottleneck. We need someone with the same level of written English ability and attention to detail to share the load and help ScaleMath move faster without lowering standards.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone who fits the following criteria:
Strategic + hands-on – able to set direction and execute, owning initiatives end-to-end with real accountability
Exceptional attention to detail – holds a high precision bar and catches issues others miss
Elite written communicator – writes clearly, confidently, and with strong structure and flow
High-level copywriter / “sentence designer” – strong at line-level writing: clarity, rhythm, persuasion, and restraint
Quality bar setter – elevates the standard for what “good” looks like across content and messaging
Strong editorial judgment – knows what to cut, what to keep, what to emphasize, and what will confuse the reader
Execution-first mindset – reliably ships finished work, not just drafts, outlines, or ideas
Brand voice steward – maintains consistency of tone, positioning, and messaging across channels
Trusted internal reviewer – improves others’ work through thoughtful critique, rewrites, and refinement
What you’ll do
This role will evolve over time, but you can expect to work across areas like:
Writing and editing high-quality content (including founder-led content)
Improving messaging, positioning, and narrative clarity across the business
Reviewing and polishing important documents, emails, and customer-facing assets
Supporting partnerships: outreach, coordination, follow-ups, and deal flow
Joining client and partner calls where strong communication matters
Supporting sales efforts with copy, decks, follow-ups, and materials
Owning internal initiatives end-to-end (research, execution, and delivery)
Acting as a force multiplier for the founder and the team
What success looks like
Work that used to bottleneck now ships consistently, without quality dropping
Our content, messaging, and outbound feels sharper, clearer, and more “ScaleMath”
Initiatives move forward because you proactively push them forward
The founder’s time is protected and the business moves faster
Who this is perfect for
This role is ideal if you’re someone who:
Loves writing, editing, and high-quality communication
Also enjoys business problem-solving and cross-functional execution
Wants real ownership, not narrow job lanes
Can switch between “craft” work and “operator” work without losing quality
Location
UK is preferred, but we’re open to hiring globally for the right person.
