Job Description:

Who we are

Hallow is on a mission to help people pray. We're the No. 1 prayer app in the world, with more than 700 million prayers prayed across 150+ countries. We're building a product that is authentically Christian and Catholic, while at the same time a resource for anyone looking to grow deeper in a relationship with God. We believe that people are hungry for peace, and that there is no surer way to find it than by learning to sit in silence with Christ: "Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest" (Mt 11:28). 

Our goal is to build something truly great. Something that combines the beauty of the Church's spirituality with world-class product and content execution. And we need a world-class team to make it happen.

We launched the app in December 2018 and have been blown away with the incredible growth & traction. Hallow has been downloaded more than 22 million times with over 250,000 5-star reviews. We're blessed to be backed by some of the best mission-driven investors in the world and are excited to build out the team to help a lot more folks grow closer to God.

We are a startup. We move quickly. We are small but we take big swings. Each person is responsible for making an impact. It is hard-but deeply meaningful-work. We'd be honored & humbled if you'd consider joining us.

Tldr: We are scaling and growing quickly and are looking for a writer to help us create content for various projects on the app. This person will play a critical role on our content team in carrying projects from start to finish.

What You'll Do

• Edit: You'll work with our team of writers to edit and proofread their work before it gets recorded, then, you'll work with our audio team to make sure our content sounds incredible before it makes its way to our users.
• Curate the Home Screen: You'll work to present Hallow content to our users in the most effective and timely way possible.
• Cross-functional: You'll work across multiple teams to make sure each content launch is calculated and coordinated.
• All the Details: Once recordings are finished, you'll be responsible for all of the details in launching the content (descriptions, testing, QA etc.)

What We're Looking For

• Passion: First & foremost, we're looking for someone excited about our mission. It makes it a lot more fun :) 
• Grit & detail-oriented: Attention to detail is critical for our work, and in this role, it's absolutely crucial. You'll need perseverance and hard work to push some projects across the finish line.
• Project management: Creating systems and processes will be vital for this role. You'll also work collaboratively with the content and audio team on projects and with several others across the company. You'll need to roll with the punches if deadlines change or new needs arise. People skills are a must.
• Experience: Bachelor's and/or master's degree in writing or theology, and at least 3 years of writing experience. Having experience professionally publishing content is preferred.

What You'll Love

• Mission: This work is incredibly humbling. Everyday we get amazing stories and we get the pleasure of working on something that's impacting lives.
• Ownership: You'll be a huge part of our content process. There's nothing more exciting than creating something beautiful, pristine, and moving, and we strive to do that every day.
• Growth: Over the next year we'll build out the company significantly and we'll need your help to create a world-class content team.
• Flexibility: HQ is in Chicago, but remote work is a possibility. We're flexible with location / hours.
• Comp: We will pay competitive market rates both in terms of equity, cash, & benefits.

The above range only includes cash compensation. Each full-time employee in the US also receives significant equity compensation, which has the potential to be the biggest economic benefit of joining Hallow, alongside a top-tier benefits package (e.g., unlimited PTO, insurance, remote-flexible work, fully paid parental leave, 401(k) match, and stipends for health & wellness, home-office, and learning).

The above range for cash compensation refers to base salary. All full-time employees are also eligible to be considered for a discretionary bonus at the end of each fiscal year. These ranges are just initial estimates. They may vary depending on market or location and may be adjusted depending on the person we end up hiring for this role, their experience, and market dynamics.

We are honored that you'd consider joining the team and look forward to connecting with you.

Best,

Alex at Hallow
