Content Specialist

Melbourne HQ | Hybrid | Full Time / Sponsorship available

Here's the truth. Search isn't what it was two years ago, and it won't look the same in two years' time either. Google, ChatGPT, TikTok, Pinterest, Reddit, Perplexity, AI Overviews. How people find businesses has fragmented across a dozen platforms and it's still shifting. Some people find that terrifying. We find it thrilling, and we’re searching for someone who does too.

At House of Psalm, we blend creativity, strategy and AI to help brands be found wherever their customers are looking. We don't just churn out blogs. We build content across many channels that gets found, gets cited, and ultimately helps our clients achieve their purpose.

As our Content Specialist, you’ll be joining a team pioneering what search everywhere looks like. Not only will you write pieces from scratch using your human expertise, but you’ll understand how to edit and sharpen AI-assisted drafts, and briefs and create across formats well beyond the page.

Not only will you be writing SEO optimised copy across channels but you'll also have the opportunity to work directly with clients, and we need that to feel like a normal part of the job.

We don't expect you to tick every box. But if you've got initiative, a sharp eye for detail and a voice that adapts across fashion, beauty, health, wellness, lifestyle, travel and home building, we're listening. And if you care about the people you're doing it for, clients and teammates alike, that matters more to us than anything else here.

What You'll Be Doing

Content Creation & AI Partnership

• Write clear, compelling copy across web pages, blogs, press releases, campaign assets and social media.
• Know when a piece needs your full hand from the first word, and when it's better served starting as an AI-assisted draft with your judgement on top.
• Work closely with Prolition, our proprietary tool. It maps what content needs to exist, and where, for a brand to get cited in AI answers, then drafts a lot of that content itself. Your job is to collaborate, edit and sharpen it until it sounds like the brand, then get it out the door.
• Optimise every piece for SEO best practice: keywords, metadata, and headings. You know the drill.
• Research trends and search behaviour so content stays relevant as search keeps moving.

Social & Beyond the Page

• Brief and create for formats well beyond long-form articles: social captions, short-form and long-form video scripts, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Meta and even Pinterest
• Adapt your voice for social: punchier, faster, still true to brand. Understand what engages and performs.
• Stay switched on to what's trending on social and feed that back into the wider content strategy.

Client Connection

• Sit down with clients to understand their brand, tone, community and content goals, and be confident in the room when you do.
• Run content workshops, shape tone-of-voice guides, and help clients see their brand the way their customers do.
• Translate client feedback into content that feels true to their voice.
• Build trust through a direct line of communication and recurring updates.

Quality & Consistency

• Edit, refine and proof every word for clarity, readability and SEO accuracy, whichever hand wrote it first.
• Maintain and evolve brand style guides, including our own.
• Juggle multiple clients and tight deadlines, and nail both.
• Collaborate and ideate with our wider team. Afterall, there’s no “i” in team.

What You Bring

• You've got 3+ years of content writing experience behind you.
• Copywriting chops, with solid SEO content experience behind you.
• A pragmatic, grown-up view of AI: happy to co-labour and shape a machine draft, unwilling to let one out unsupervised.
• Genuine interest in social and video content, briefing it and sometimes creating it yourself, not treating it as someone else's job.
• Confidence in front of clients.
• A voice that adapts across different brands, audiences and platforms.
• Curiosity about where search is heading next.
• Attention to detail and the ability to simplify complex ideas without losing what makes them interesting.
• Values alignment with what we're building here. Have a read of our brand guidelines below; they'll tell you everything.

Our Values, and What They Look Like in This Role

Craft Mastery. We refine our craft daily. In this role that means never settling for the easy AI output when the piece deserves better, and knowing when to write from scratch and when your time is better spent elsewhere.

Servant Hearts. We lead with humility, grace and service that puts people first. That shows up here in how you treat clients, always putting their voice and their goals ahead of your own ego on the page. It's also where your resilience comes from. The busy weeks and the tight deadlines are a lot easier to push through when you're doing it because you care about the client on the other end and the teammates beside you, not just grinding it out.

Shared Purpose. We build deep, collaborative relationships with our clients and share in their vision. That's why client conversations are part of this role, and why we want someone who values them.

Clear Vision. We communicate with clarity and conviction in a jargon-filled world. Every brief you write and every piece you edit should bring a client closer to that same clarity.

Why You'll Love It Here

• Dream clients you'll want to brag about like Levi's, Runaway The Label, Cullen Jewellery, GJ Gardner Homes, Best of the Bone, and more.
• A front-row seat to how search is changing and the opportunity to be a part of how that shapes our industry.
• Learning and growth, with an education allowance each year to keep levelling up.
• Balance, with a hybrid working model (2-days at home and 3-day in our very own beautiful Armadale space). Bonus: We even offer paid volunteer days each year.
• Culture that matters. Weekly breakfasts (yum), monthly culture days, and a team that knows how to win together.

Respond to questions related to the role, share your CV and choose two clients from our website and provide writing samples for each with SEO in mind as well as how you’d adapt the copy for a social caption. Bonus points if one shows us a piece you edited from an AI-first draft first, another something you wrote entirely by hand and why it needed to be that way.

Ps. We’re pretty good at telling what’s been fully generated with AI. We want to see your craft mastery, not just a machine’s.

At House of Psalm, we're setting the new standard for organic search while search itself refuses to sit still. If that sounds like your kind of jam, we'd love to hear from you. If you're AI, please add a vanilla cupcake recipe.
