About the Role

We’re looking for a versatile, creative, and highly organized Content Marketing Writer & Editor to join our marketing team. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of storytelling, brand voice, and content strategy — someone who can move seamlessly from crafting compelling social media posts to editing long-form thought leadership, to writing workshop copy that converts.

You’ll be the connective tissue across MEA’s content ecosystem, helping to shape how our brand shows up across every channel. A key part of this role involves editing, publishing and developing content that reaches a growing audience passionate about midlife transformation. You’ll also support paid social efforts, contribute to our blog, and ensure every piece of content we produce reflects MEA’s voice: warm, wise, grounded, and inspiring.

What You’ll Do

Content Writing & Editing

Write, edit, and proofread content across all marketing channels, including social media, blog posts, email campaigns, landing pages, and workshop promotional copy
Manage and edit blogs/newsletters on Substack — from content planning and editing drafts to publishing and repurposing across channels
Develop compelling narratives that bring MEA’s mission to life and resonate with our audience of midlife adults seeking purpose, community, and transformation
Maintain a consistent, on-brand voice and tone across all content, ensuring alignment with MEA’s warm, wise, and grounded identity

Social Media & Paid Social

Create and schedule engaging social media content across platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and others as needed)
Support paid social campaigns by writing ad copy, developing creative briefs, and collaborating with the team on targeting and performance optimization
Monitor social media trends and identify opportunities to insert MEA’s voice into relevant cultural conversations around aging, wellness, purpose, and midlife

Project Management & Collaboration

Manage content calendars and editorial workflows using Monday.com, ensuring deadlines are met and stakeholders are aligned
Collaborate cross-functionally with the marketing team, facilitators, and leadership via Slack and other tools to gather inputs, review content, and coordinate launches
Track content performance metrics and use insights to continuously refine the content strategy

Who You Are

An exceptional writer and storyteller with 3–5+ years of experience in content marketing, editorial, or a similar role
Experienced editor with a sharp eye for detail, structure, and voice consistency
Comfortable writing across formats — from punchy social captions to long-form blog posts to email sequences to polished marketing copy
Familiar with managing and growing a Substack, newsletter, or similar publication
Highly organized and process-driven, with hands-on experience using project management tools (Monday.com preferred) and communication tools like Slack
A creative thinker who can generate fresh angles and ideas while staying true to a brand’s mission and voice
Self-motivated and able to manage multiple projects and deadlines independently in a remote environment
Knowledgeable about social media best practices and paid social fundamentals (Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, etc.)
Enthusiastic about using AI as a creative partner — you have hands-on experience writing and editing AI-assisted content and see tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI platforms as force multipliers for producing high-quality work faster, not shortcuts that replace great writing
Passionate about (or genuinely curious about) the topics MEA explores: midlife, aging, purpose, wisdom, personal transformation, and community

Nice to Have

Experience working with personal brands and thought leadership content
Background in the wellness, hospitality, personal development, or education space
Experience writing to an older audience (late 40s-70s)
Familiarity with SEO best practices and content optimization
Experience with email marketing platforms (e.g., Mailchimp, HubSpot)
Experience with Substack
Basic graphic design skills or experience collaborating with designers on visual content (Canva, Figma, or Adobe Creative Suite)

What We Offer

A meaningful role with a mission-driven organization that’s redefining how the world thinks about aging and midlife
The opportunity to work closely with Chip Conley, a New York Times bestselling author and globally recognized thought leader
A collaborative, warm, and passionate team that practices what it preaches
Remote work flexibility from anywhere in Canada
Competitive salary of $80,000 CAD per year
