About the Role:

Hims & Hers is seeking a Freelance Blog Writer to join our Editorial Content team. 

Mental health is having a real moment right now — people are finally starting to take it seriously. Mental health *is* health. We’re thrilled to be a driving force to help destigmatize care for your mental wellbeing

We’re looking for journalists, blog writers, columnists and creative writers who are as passionate as we are about everything mental health. 

The successful candidate will be someone who’s nimble, collaborative and extremely passionate about telling the little stories that can make big differences. They’re up to the challenge of impressing readers while also being mindful of Google’s search engine algorithms.

They’ll work directly with our editorial team, as well as cross-functionally with our medical review and SEO teams, to bring Hims & Hers readers the best mental health-related content they never thought they’d find.

We’re changing the way folks think about their healthcare, and that starts with a word on a page. 

These articles will be most peoples’ first touchpoint with the brand, so smart, accessible, enjoyable content is key to starting that journey on the right foot. 

Responsibilities:

• Write compelling, accessible, authoritative mental health content across the Hims & Hers blogs.
• Work collaboratively with our in-house editorial and SEO teams to carefully review content briefs and medical research packets prior to each assignment.
• Learn the Hims & Hers brand and tone guidelines and use them to inform writing from a high level.
• Distill medically complex information to easily digestible action items for the everyday reader.
• Revise work as necessary based on editorial feedback.

Experience and Skills:

• 5+ years editorial experience, preferably for both brands and publishers.
• Genuine passion for and interest in mental health — from standard and emerging treatments, to medications, lifestyle changes and everything in between.
• Proven track record writing excellent content about a variety of topics. Experience writing in the medical space preferred, but not a necessity.
• Strong creative, conversational writing style.
• Experience using insights and strategic thinking to shape priorities.
• Experience driving complex projects in a fast-paced environment.
• Comfort in front of the camera preferred, but not required — we’re looking to build these writers into on-site personalities.

We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you’re excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply.
