Experienced AI Writer

The Ad Firm is a top digital marketing agency headquartered in Southern California that serves clients nationwide. We are seeking an AI Content Writer to join our growing content team. This is not a traditional content writing role. We are looking for someone who already writes content optimized for AI-powered search platforms and generative engines.

The right candidate should be working at a marketing agency right now, with at least two years of experience managing multiple projects at once. This is a remote position for The Ad Firm. Workdays are from 8 am to 5 pm PST, with the possibility of flexible hours after the initial probationary period.

We are a digital marketing agency that has consistently grown our clients' businesses online since 2009. We have been awarded numerous times for our output work and the atmosphere of our team. We specialize in helping companies grow and tracking the success we bring to each of our clients.

Role Purpose

Write and optimize content that performs across both traditional search engines and AI-powered platforms such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude. You will work under our Content Manager and alongside our SEO managers and Client Success Managers to produce content that is strategically structured to be cited and surfaced by generative AI models, not just ranked by Google.

The right fit will understand the difference between writing for traditional search and writing for generative search, and will be able to do both. You should be comfortable switching between industries and client voices, and confident using AI tools as part of your workflow at an advanced level. Writing efficiently and in a timely manner is a must, as well as having perfect grammar and spelling in American English.
