If you thrive on creating informative and user-friendly material while understanding the nuances of SEO, this remote opportunity might be the perfect fit. **Your Mission: Simplify the Law** Your primary goal will be to craft web content that demystifies legal topics for a general audience. Think of yourself as a legal translator, converting complex terms and concepts into plain language that anyone can understand.

We require that you work onsite in St. Petersburg at least one day a week to meet with our in-house legal staff. **What You’ll Tackle:** * Produce high-quality, SEO-optimized web content on a variety of legal topics. Ensure it meets both legal standards and SEO "best practices." * Translate legal concepts into clear, concise, and engaging language for a broad audience. We don't want legalese. We want simple sentences, explained well. * Conduct thorough research to support content accuracy and relevance. If the legal claims you're making are unsupported, then you won't be successful in this role. * Collaborate with legal professionals to ensure technical correctness and clarity. * Optimize content for search engines, incorporating relevant keywords and metadata. We need "legal help near me" searches to find the content you're writing. * Maintain a consistent brand voice and style across all web content. * Stay up-to-date with legal and content marketing trends. **Credentials We Value:** * A foundation in journalism, communications, English, or a related discipline. * Prior working experience in web content creation, preferably in the legal industry. * A deep comprehension of SEO principles and content optimization techniques. * Proficiency in legal research methods and databases. * Exceptional writing, editing, and proofreading abilities. Mistakes in legal content can have catastrophic outcomes. * Capability to translate complicated legal ideas into approachable language. * Exceptional analytical and problem-solving aptitude. * You should know all the latest search algorithm trends. This is as much SEO as it is writing, and we need you to excel in both. **What We Offer:** * A chance to positively influence the accessibility of legal data. * Opportunities for professional learning and development in a dynamic legal environment. * Collaborative and encouraging workplace culture. * Part-time work arrangements with flexible hours to suit your lifestyle. * Competitive compensation based on skill set and expertise. * A friendly office environment that focuses on collaboration, learning, and celebrating successes.
