- $60k
Do you love creating high level marketing strategies, but don’t love executing all of the pieces alone?
Do you like helping people define success and devising plans to see it through?
Is your service so exceptional that your clients trust you, even if something goes wrong?
If this sounds like you, we’ve got your perfect career.
If we already captured your attention and this sounds like your dream role, we expect you to read the entire career description before you apply!
This is the perfect job for someone who has experience in marketing, but is tired of executing every piece of the strategy on their own.
The core responsibility for this role is to work with Authors and create a successful marketing plan for their book or brand. The role basically breaks down like this:
- You’ll get to know an Author, understand their goals, their why for writing a book, and what they’re trying to achieve.
- You’ll develop a year-long, comprehensive marketing strategy that works towards even the loftiest of goals.
- You’ll effectively communicate an Author’s goals to our Specialists (Audience, Media/PR, Digital, Research, or Outreach) in order to execute on the high-level plan you came up with.
- You’ll set realistic timelines with the Author and the team to set the project up for success.
This role is NOT for someone who wants to execute the same cookie-cutter service over and over. This is for a motivated person looking for an incredible opportunity to use their invaluable marketing skills to drive results.
If you can nail all the above, you’re probably pretty awesome, which brings us to an important question:
Who are we and what do we do?
We’re Scribe Media, and our mission is to help everyone on earth write, publish and market their book.
The problem is that writing and publishing books are, for most people, a painful and difficult process, loaded with uncertainty and aggravation. Our goal is to make it as simple as possible, so that as many people as possible can do it.
We have multiple ways we help people do this. We can edit and publish an already written manuscript (Scribe Publishing), or we can help people write their book using a structured process with our guidance (Scribe Guided Author), or we can do a structured interview process that gets the book out of them in their words and their voice (Scribe Professional).
And if you can’t afford our services, that’s fine. We give away all of our information for free. Seriously, it’s called Scribe Book School, and it’s better than any paid course on the internet.
You can see some press about us here.
And you can see some of the books we’ve already published here.
Why our work matters
Our company was started because a frustrated entrepreneur wanted to put all of her incredible knowledge and ideas into a book, but didn’t have the time to write it or the patience to deal with the frustrating publishing process. So we solved her problem. The origin story is here.
Her book became an amazing success, and we realized the world was full of these people–smart people who should write a book, but don’t, because the process is so painful.
These people want to write books, but don’t have the time or desire to do it the old way, and that’s why Scribe exists: we help people turn their ideas into books that both cement their legacy and impact the world.
Our process has worked for over 2,000 authors in seven years, and we’re growing fast. Our ultimate goal is to help everyone on earth write and publish a book.
If we do that, we’ll help create many thousands of books that would never have otherwise existed, changing the lives of millions of people. That’s really exciting to us.
To see what we mean, here are some author success stories and videos of authors talking about what their books mean to them, and to their readers.
But if you really want to see why we do this…just watch this video of an author we worked with, Philip McKernan.
What’s it like being part of Scribe Crew?
We’re not going to try to pitch you a load of corporate doublespeak bullshit about how great we are. Instead, we’ll just show you proof.
These are all real Crew members, speaking openly and honestly about all aspects of what it’s like to be part of Scribe Media:

Necessary Skills & Qualifications
Here is the list of skills we believe are necessary for this career.
- A broad, but not necessarily deep, understanding of the digital marketing landscape (although that would be a plus): This position is for entry to manager-level marketing professionals who have at least 1 year of experience working at a marketing agency, or in-house (industry does not matter). You want to learn how to actually produce scalable data-driven digital campaigns and have a desire to understand the entire marketing ecosystem and how to influence consumer behavior that actuallywait for itdrives RESULTS.
- Exceptional Social Intelligence: This job will require you to work with a lot of different types of personalities and clearly set expectations with them. You’ll work with different types of C-suite and high-level decision makers to support them in understanding the value of our marketing services and help them make decisions that are right for both their — and Scribe’s — needs. Sometimes you will need to have hard conversations with them, and even set limits with people who are not used to hearing ‘no’but do it in a way that doesn’t upset them or derail the project. It takes real social intelligence to navigate these situations.
- Excellent Communicator: You should be comfortable and experienced with speaking on the phone and over video with people, as that will be required for this role. Our Authors rely on the expert guidance of our team. You must be able to listen closely, understand what our Authors are saying, be able to translate an Author’s goals into a cohesive marketing plan, and then communicate that plan with the rest of the team.
- Strategic and Critical Thinking: Ability to thrive in fast-paced environments, embrace the unknown, and adapt to a quickly changing environment without losing the thread on project goals. You set clear expectations for yourself and others for successful outcomes and you can easily assess and pivot to meet those expectations.
- Optimistic and Courageously Curious: You deeply enjoy getting to know more about people and their ideas! You’re open-minded, service-oriented, and optimistic. You want to know how everything works. You’re not afraid to challenge the status quo and you aren’t afraid to ask questions to really understand the big picture and get it right the first time.
Salary & Benefits
- Competitive Pay: $60,000.
- Full Benefits Package: We don’t spend our money on ping pong tables and beanbag chairs. We spend our money on things that matter to our Crew–like a full slate of benefits that would rival any Fortune 50 company.

- We offer up to $1,500 in educational assistance to continue your learning.
- We have six weeks of paid time off, including holidays and the week between Christmas and New Year’s.
- If anything awful were to happen to you, we provide life insurance and short- and long-term disability.
- 401k match to support you in planning for your future.

- Each Crew member gets four fully paid community service days per year. These days can be used to volunteer alongside Crew members at coordinated community events or to inidually support causes you care about in your local community.
- We believe that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has no finish line. We hold optional discussions throughout the month led by volunteer Crew members with the goal to provide a safe space for asking questions, openly sharing, and encouraging learning.
- Any Crew member who gives birth receives 12 weeks of fully paid time off. Partners of birthing parents, or those involved in adoptions, foster placements, or birth through a surrogate, receive 4 weeks of paid leave.
- Up to 10 days of fully-paid, no questions asked Bereavement leave. You define what ‘loved one’ means to you: be it a parent, a cousin, a best friend, or even a beloved pet.
- MacBooks are provided to all full-time Crew members for Scribe work and personal use.
- We’re supportive of Crew members working to create the lives they imagine! Freedom to do other work on the side is encouraged, as long as the work doesn’t compete with or negatively impact Scribe’s business.
- As a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) host, we partner with an organization that supports refugee families through a community garden here in Austin. You can sign up with us to get local, in-season produce delivered weekly straight to the office!
- Be Part Of A Crew: You (should) have seen the videos above. We also have a pretty cool set of principles that we live by as a company, you should check it out, because this is the operating system for our Crew, and everyone in our company lives the values and principles outlined in this doc.
- Freedom & Flex Work: You can work from your home anywhere in the US, work while you travel, work in our office, make your own hours–we don’t care. You can wear a three piece suit (like our CEO), gym clothes, or anything else–we don’t care. We only care that you drive results, uphold our values, and perform in your role with reliable phone and internet connections. And we have lots of paid time off each year, because we believe that rest and recovery are just as important as work
- Make A Real Impact: We’re a small company (just about 100 full time) and you will be a major part of our team. Not only that, you won’t just impact the company, you’ll impact the world. Books are one of the very best ways to influence other people and change the way they think–and you’ll be helping to make them a reality.
- Work With Interesting People: You’re not just working on any books. Past authors include major company CEOs, famous entrepreneurs, professional athletes, and people with amazing personal stories. These are books that change lives.
