We’re Hiring a Full-Time Writer

Strong Towns is excited to announce that we’re hiring a full-time staff writer. This might be the job for you if…

• You’re a confident, agile writer. You could take a timely story idea and turn it into a finished product (complete with interviews and research, if needed) within a few days.

• You’re interested in transportation, urban planning, housing and related issues. Maybe you even have experience writing on these topics already.

• Impending deadlines and quick turnarounds don’t faze you. You’re regularly done with tasks well before they’re due.

• You’re motivated to be part of a nonpartisan nonprofit that helps people make their cities and towns more economically resilient.

• Bonus: You have experience working for an online publication with daily deadlines.

If this sounds like you, please apply by October 9. And if you know someone who might be a good fit for this role, please share this job listing with them!

This is a remote position open to anyone in the U.S. Our team collaborates digitally from locations around the country, and we get together 2–4 times per year for in-person staff retreats. We have content deadlines and occasional event-driven demands, but generally keep a flexible schedule. 

You can read the full job description, see the hiring timeline, and apply on this page. Initial applications are due October 9 so join the process now!

We’re also hosting an informational webcast where you can get your questions answered about this position and working for Strong Towns. The webcast will take place on Monday, October 3, at 1:30 p.m. CT. Sign up here to attend.
