ENGAGEMENT EDITOR
- Houston, TX
- Editorial department
Alice helps small business owners launch and grow. Since launching in May 2017, our goal is to help 6 million owners succeed through our free digital platform,
HelloAlice.com. Alice serves all entrepreneurs and we wholeheartedly believe that if underserved business owners -- women, people of color, veterans, the LGBTQ+ community, entrepreneurs with disabilities, people in small towns, and immigrants -- are provided better access to resources, they can change the world. Our vision is to be financially successful while making a positive impact on economies and job creation.
Alice is growing a diverse team, and we’re looking for an Engagement Editor to help us fulfill our mission of connecting all entrepreneurs to the resources they need to grow and scale their businesses. We’re leading a movement to connect every founder, regardless of geography, capitalization, prior experience, or cultural constraints, to the experts, tools, knowledge, and communities that will propel their companies forward. Alice is a Series A-backed company with teams in Houston, TX and San Francisco, CA. We are helping hundreds of thousands of owners a week in all fifty states. Led by co-founders Elizabeth Gore and Carolyn Rodz, we are hiring self-starters who can build the plane while flying it.
Do you live as much in the world of social as you do IRL? Do you have a thirst for recruiting new followers and keeping them engaged? Do you have mad skills when it comes to writing snappy copy, but also making it look pretty? You may be our new engagement editor.
You’ll be responsible for leading a robust social calendar, including posting, planning, and monitoring data. You’ll write and design frequent newsletters that keep our business owners in the know. You’ll also contribute to our growing blog, writing articles about all aspects of entrepreneurship. If you enjoy hard work and you never shy away from a challenge, and you like to have fun in a supportive and collaborative environment, you belong on Team Alice.
You’d be the perfect fit if:
- You have at least 1-3 years of editorial experience
- You know the digital landscape like the back of your hand
- You have experience planning campaigns, both on social and in newsletters
- You are a pro at both Mailchimp and Sprout Social
- You think UTM codes are a breeze and nerd out on Google Analytics
- You blog with the best of them, or have other digital clips to show
- You consider yourself a true team player, who can both take and give constructive feedback in a kind and supportive way
- You can take projects and run with them, from ideation right on through to production, while still gathering collaborative feedback from the team
- Bonus points if you have video editing skills
Our company values are important to us. We thought we would share them with you as someone interested in joining our team.
INNOVATE ALWAYS. Seek out unique perspectives, diverse experiences, and disconnected dots. These are the seeds of big ideas and exceeded expectations, made even better through constant collaboration.
EMBRACE FAILURE. Learn from the inevitable failures that result from innovation, and move forward quickly with a pioneering spirit. Champion the doers, celebrate their contributions to the team, and don't shy away from difficult conversations.
DRIVE THE MISSION FORWARD. Everything we do is through the inclusive lens of helping all business owners launch and grow, regardless of who they are or where they come from. Hold yourself to the highest standards of quality and equality in everything you do.
EVERYONE TAKES OUT THE TRASH. No task is too small for the success of our company or our owners. Always be thoughtful and practice extreme kindness toward our team, partners, and owners.
SIMPLIFY AND COMMIT. Maintain a bias toward efficiency, acting quickly and testing often. Recognize the opportunity cost of every decision, commit to deadlines, be on time, and search for simple, smart solutions.
