About the role
✍️ Content Creator (Copy Writer), Thera (NYC preferred, US-only)
Thera is building the financial OS for modern SMBs. Payroll, payments, treasury, spend, accounting, and docs in one system that actually works end-to-end.
We're looking for our first dedicated Content Creator (Copy Writer) to own how Thera sounds everywhere a customer meets us the site, the emails, the launches, the product itself.
This is a writing role, not a strategy role. You'll ship copy every week, get direct edits from the founder, and see your work go live in days, not quarters.
📍 NYC preferred, in-person. US-only. 💰 $70,000–$90,000 📈 0–3 years experience. New grads with a strong portfolio welcome.
Why this role exists
We have
* A product customers use and refer
* A roadmap shipping faster than we can describe it
* Categories of copy nobody currently owns
* An audience that should be bigger than it is
What you'll own
* Voice and messaging across the entire funnel - site, email, product, sales, social, etc.
* Website and landing pages, including the comparison pages that win migrations from Deel, Gusto, and Rippling
* Launch copy for new products and features
* Ghostwriting for founders and execs, in their voice, not yours
What you'll write
* Copy for the website
* Announcement copy for what we ship next
* Blog posts and country guides that pull in founders searching for real answers
* Sales collateral, one-pagers, and partner-facing material
* Social posts that sound like a person, not a brand account
* Occasional video scripts and hooks
* Threads and carousels people save and send to their cofounder
Your first 90 days
30 days
* Learn the product cold - get inside the workflows, read support tickets, sit in on customer calls
* Audit every page and email and tell us what's weakest
* Ship a rewrite of one high-traffic page
* Build social media post's in Thera's voice during your first week
60 days
* Own the copy on a product launch end to end
* Publish your first customer story and first SEO piece
* Draft the voice and style guide
* Get one repeatable short-form format off the ground - scripted, shot, shipped
90 days
* Anything customer-facing runs through you by default
* Measurable lift on the pages and sequences you've rewritten
* A content cadence that holds without anyone chasing it
* An audience growing without paid spend behind it
What they are looking for
VisaUS citizen/visa only
Apply to this role
* You write clearly. You cut adjectives, kill throat-clearing intros, prefer a number to a claim. Wildly concise.
* Your portfolio is better than your résumé. Published work, spec pieces, a newsletter, a well-argued post - show us range.
* You get curious about unglamorous things. Multi-state tax filings and FX spreads will be your subject matter.
* You revise without ego. Radical candor cuts both ways here.
* You're fast. Several pieces a week, not one polished essay a month.
* You self-direct. Nobody is handing you a fully briefed assignment every morning.
* You've built something in public - an account, a newsletter, a channel - and can tell us what it did
* You know why one post lands and the next one dies, and you're honest about the ones that died
* B2B SaaS, fintech, or HR-tech experience
* You've changed your writing because of what a funnel or search console told you
* A real point of view on where AI helps writing and where it flattens it
* Basic video editing - CapCut, Descript, Premiere, whatever gets it out the door
* You have experience writing about technical and complex topics like finance or tax.
* You've written in someone else's voice and nobody could see the seam
* Comfortable close to camera, whether or not you're in front of it
Not a fit if
* You want to manage a content team instead of writing
* You need a full brief before you can start
* You think fintech copy has to be long
* You want to write one thing a month and polish it forever
* You think social is beneath the craft
Why Thera
* You define the voice of a company at the point where it's still up for grabs
* You work directly with the executives
* You'll see what you wrote change the numbers within the week
