Join a team of strategists, writers, and designers honing their craft.
We’re on a mission to bring artistry into B2B. Our art is communication, and we’re conscious that the origin of the term “art is “artisan”—it was always a work craft. When we strategize, write, and design, we’re elevating letters and lines into something greater. As such, we don’t really act like an agency and in fact avoid that term, because everything we do is in service of making this a place where people can be uncommonly creative and grow great careers. All else follows from that.
We welcome diversity in all its forms
Fenwick is an equal opportunity employer. We aspire to create an environment where employees feel included, valued, and heard. Diversity and equity are the right choice for humanity. We choose to create a safe space because it’s the right thing to do. We strongly encourage applications from Black, Indigenous, and people of color. We strongly encourage applications from people with disabilities, people from gender and sexually diverse communities, and people with intersectional identities. Come as you are. We love you for it.
In all full-time roles, you can expect:
Health insurance
Retirement savings (6% match)
Profit share (our version of equity)
Competitive salary
Flexible schedule
Clear path for promotion
A company Kindle and a book budget
Work-from-home stipend to help upgrade your office space
A major role in shaping a small but mighty company
A week every quarter for side projects and personal development
Virtual team socials—cooking, watercolors, cocktail-making, yoga, etc.
Fenwick is the creative team who frees marketers to focus on loftier goals
We’re a creative studio that loves to take the long view. Yes, we appear busy strategizing, writing, and designing with uncommon clarity and spirit. But we’re even more concerned with how those assets grow. How they germinate. How they evolve. How that company becomes an institution for ideas and publishes wonderful, inspiring, industry-defining things.
All this of course takes thought, which means we must maintain an uncommonly respectful company that sustains great work. We plan ahead. We don’t do weekends. We defend our process. Everything about how we’re built is in service of that enduring quality so clients get outcomes, not just assets.
Our process is designed to be kind and get you a quick answer. At each stage, we’ll only proceed with candidates where we feel it’s a likely fit.
Apply to a role below—Statistically speaking most end here. We’ve very specific criteria.
Introductory call (15 min)—To get a mutual sense. (You should interview us, too.)
Take-home test (1hr)—Write words, fix a design, or critique a strategy. (Not real client work.)
Interview about the test (30 min)—Talk us through how you arrived at your result.
Presentation (45min)—Present your past work to our entire team; we discuss.
Offer—All roles begin with a three-month contract which converts to full-time.

We're hiring a curious writer with an uncommon knack for precision and clarity. What makes our content studio unique is that we help brands think deeper and tell enduring stories that transcend mere corporate interest. In doing so, we help them achieve their goals—including ones they didn’t know they had. We aim to write content that not only helps people do their jobs better, but also that teaches them something new about humanity.
We’re about big ideas explained simply. The ideal candidate is someone who shares our curiosity about the world. Experience in B2B tech is welcomed, but not required.
Responsibilities:
Write articles, ebooks, research reports, and the like
Plan and conduct research projects
Collaborate closely with peers and clients
Educate others on the value of clear writing
How you'll know this job is for you:
You're always asking, "How could I say this more succinctly?"
You savor evocative writing wherever you find it
You see ad copy and automatically think of ways to improve it
You often wonder how others experience the world
You love clever writing, but value clarity more
You have special interests that fuel your work
You enjoy working alone, but relish working with others
Bonus:
You have experience in B2B tech or a related field
You have basic skills in visual design and/or strong design tastes
Who we’re looking for
An inquisitive individual who excels at conveying complex ideas through well-chosen words. Ideally, you’ll have strong opinions about what stories interest you and should interest the client, based on their customers’ needs. Lots of the job is spending time researching, interviewing, and planning.
People who have succeeded in this role were hungry for feedback and eager to master the craft of writing. They read widely, brought a unique perspective fueled by outside interests, and were eager to help others grow too.
Requisite skills
We'll be extra excited to talk to you if you offer a new perspective and are fascinated by people.
Must haves:
Fluent command of English
Ability to write and edit for clarity and concision
Understanding of content strategy
An interest in reading and writing
Experience managing your own projects, establishing timelines, and setting expectations with stakeholders
Nice to haves:
Understanding of basic UX and layout design a plus
The need
What we need is a writer who can help clients get the writing they need, if not the writing they asked for. The reason for the “strategist” in your title is that you’re highly skilled at writing, but also at finding interesting facts and stories, and filling in the missing pieces for clients.
We’re all here to put 10,000 hours into mastering the skills that most excite us. For you, as a writer, part of the challenge is extrapolating tactical requests, like “write a blog series on law software,” into larger, more meaningful narratives—like explaining the history of corporations and how some of their early quirks have shaped our society. Nine times out of ten, the client won’t have that narrative. Nor will they know they need it. Your job is to find it, help them understand why it’s interesting to their audience, and produce it.

About us
Fenwick is a content studio that helps marketers (mostly at B2B tech companies) achieve greatness through writing and design. Our clients come to us because they have an idea and need someone to bring it to life.
We love to make each other laugh on Slack and frequently share examples of content we wish we'd created ourselves. We're a supportive, open-minded group who care deeply about honing our craft and helping each other learn. We value each team member's diversity of experience and believe we all have lots to teach each other. We're the types of people who are always in the middle of reading three things at once and want to hear what others are reading.
Check out our rebrand and meet the team.
How to apply
With the current volume, we can't respond to everyone. We’ll be most intrigued by applications that:
Show you have read the job description (you’re already ahead!)
Can provide evidence of strong writing skills through a well-chosen portfolio piece
Show curiosity and an eagerness to learn and improve
Please apply through the Typeform linked below.
Note: We’re a very small team and due to the volume of applications, we (sadly) don't have time to reply to each one. We do read them all, however, and if it's a good fit, you will hear back.
That said, if you get invited for an interview and enter the hiring process, you will not be ghosted. You’ll get a firm and timely answer.
Good luck!

✔️ Reports to Chris, CEO
At Fenwick we are relentless about quality. Who wants another ebook? We’d rather make a murder mystery. And does anyone need another article series? Let’s make a course. But in that pursuit we sometimes lose track of time. We need you to bring a sense of order and urgency and to advocate for our client and their timeline.
You can be as client-facing or not client-facing as you like, so long as you help us deliver on the client’s expectations. You’re their advocate. You could also be junior or senior, part-time or full-time. We’re looking to you to come in, have a look, and help tell us how to organize production.
You’ll work directly with our creative team of writers and designers who are reasonably senior, own the accounts, and know what they’re doing. You two can self-organize to deliver on the work. If you are inclined, you could also own the client relationship. Or just be an advisor, or focus on enabling others. At the outset, you’ll be doing the work. But as you are successful, we welcome you helping us hire, organize, and grow.
The need: We believe this role fills a gap in how we’re organized
For nine years we’ve gotten by with no producers, account managers, nor project managers—just creatives. Every writer or designer owns their own accounts. What’s great about this is there’s no game of telephone—if a client makes an ill-fated request, it doesn’t ping-pong through Fenwick. It stops right there, on that call, because that writer or designer is also the strategist. Never has a client ever had to beg us, “Please just let me talk to the writer.” It’s part of what clients love about us.
That’s the good. The challenge is that as we’re taking on larger clients, those creatives can’t do it all; they’re spread thin and want more time to get inspired and focus. We’ve also always trusted that our work speaks for itself and we recognize it’d be better if we were in more meetings to advocate for it. We also only tend to hear about our successes years after the fact, when a former client says, “By the way that ebook got me promoted. It generated $1 million in pipeline.”
You’ll help tie all these loose threads together to create a better experience for our creatives and our clients.
Responsibilities
Ensure we run profitable projects—on time and within scope.
Ensure clients are successful and happy in that order.
On some accounts, serve as the customer’s primary contact.
Advocate for the client and help us know their moods and changes.
Maintain easeful, productive working relationships with your peers.
Participate in scoping projects.
Manage projects, timelines, and tasks, or bring in someone who does.
Be a partner to the studio team and help them be creatively fulfilled.
How you’ll know this job is for you
You’re highly opinionated with strongly-argued, loosely-held beliefs.
You understand the creative process deeply.
You sometimes worry you’re asking too many questions but just need to know.
You love thinking ten steps ahead and planning for distant events.
You thrill in doing the right thing.
You’ve a strong moral compass and know there’s good money and bad money—and when a client isn’t a fit.
You want to help build an institution that lasts 100 years.
You love sharing all the praise and helping others grow.
You never tire of teaching others how creative work works.
Bonus qualifications
You have outside artistic pursuits.
Who we’re looking for
Truth be told we don’t know exactly who the perfect person is but this is our hypothesis: You love being part of a competent, empathetic, and inspired team working against a deadline. You have boundaries and know how to calmly, confidently, protect your energy and encourage the same in others. You’re also a systems thinker who cannot help but always be asking, could this be easier? You love order and organizing and you have a taste for uncommonly clear writing and design.
Requisite skills
Must haves:
Fluent command of English
Experience producing creative projects
Your own process for managing timelines and expectations.
Experience telling stories that move people.
A well-developed taste for clear writing and desgin.
Clear communication.
The ability to speak in nonviolent terms and work through disagreements.
Nice to haves:
A strong sense of your weak areas and a talent for asking for help.
Agency experience.
Media experience.
