Freelance UX Writer (Contract)

We’re seeking a word-obsessed mid-senior level UX Writer to assist the Ghostery team on a contract basis.

You will help set the gold standard for brand and content execution, and you’ll establish a vision for the future of Ghostery’s product voice strategy.

We will require approximately 10 hours of your time per week, sometimes more depending on project size. While you’re invited to work onsite with us from our Flatiron office, you have the ability to work from home (or a place of your choosing), but would ask that you join us in office during important brainstorming meetings.
