We’re hiring a skilled content writer with journalism experience and a strong legal writing background to support a fast-growing legal tech startup. This is a unique opportunity to build a brand voice from the ground up—starting with a weekly newsletter, daily social posts, and SEO-focused blog content tailored for an attorney audience.

The ideal candidate knows how to write for lawyers in a way that feels fresh, insightful, and engaging—not dry or overly academic. If you’ve worked in legal media, legal tech, or marketing to attorneys, we’d love to meet you.

This dedication to quality and expertise quickly set Compose.ly apart. The company prided itself on being a rare entity in the startup world – growing and profitable without external investment, a testament to its team's grit, hard work, and astute decision-making. Over the years, Compose.ly has powered content for a diverse clientele, ranging from burgeoning startups to household names like WebMD, Money.com, Calendly, and User Testing, helping them enhance brand awareness, establish authority, and achieve tangible results.
