Code Platoon is seeking a part-time, remote paid copywriter to create blogs, social media posts, and emails for our audiences. An ideal candidate will be a military veteran or military spouse who is skilled at writing, research, and marketing. Anyone passionate about helping our military community is also welcome to apply.

A good personality fit would be someone who can build strong working relationships with both managers and teammates remotely. The best type of copywriter for Code Platoon is one who can receive projects and accountability weekly in recurring meetings or calls and then follow through on creation and publication independently. We care about the quality of the end product and whether you can manage your own projects, collaboration, and timelines; how and where you get the work done is up to you!

Portfolio samples of blogs, social media posts, and marketing emails are required. A degree or professional experience in English, journalism, or marketing is preferred. Some knowledge of computer coding, non-profits, or higher education is a plus, but not a requirement.

The role would require about 12.5 total hours per week.

Code Platoon is a Chicago-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping military veterans and their spouses find new careers in computer programming. We do this by providing a top-tier, 14-week coding boot camp program that includes aggressive coding training, career preparation, and internship and job placement opportunities.
