Zilck is looking for a part-time business writer. Not full-time. Not a content mill. A specific kind of person, for a specific kind of writing.

If you’ve ever read a piece on this site and thought, “I could do that — and I’d have something sharper to say,” this one is for you.

What this is

A series of paid writing assignments, picked up at your own pace. Think of it as a side gig you do when your real boss isn’t watching, or in the quiet hours of a weekend. We pay per piece. You write, we publish, life moves on.

The role is 100% remote. We’re open to writers based in the United States or the Dominican Republic. Everything runs through Notion and email — no Slack pings at midnight, no all-hands you need to dial into.

There is one non-negotiable: a 15-minute check-in call on the last Thursday of every month. That’s it. Fifteen minutes, once a month, no exceptions. If you can’t commit to that, this isn’t the fit.

Who we’re looking for

You write in English and Spanish at a native level. Not “I took it in college.” Not “I lived there one summer.” Native. Both languages, both directions.

You’ve spent a few years in business, branding, and e-commerce, especially. You know what a brand brief looks like. You’ve seen a P&L. You can spot when a marketing claim is bluffing.

Most importantly, you have opinions. Zilck doesn’t publish lukewarm takes. Our readers come here for a perspective, not a press release. If your default mode is “on one hand, on the other hand,” this isn’t the right gig.

What we’re not looking for

AI-generated drafts. We use AI ourselves — occasionally, sparingly, the way you might use a calculator. But we can tell when a piece was written by a human who actually thought about it, and when it was written by a language model that didn’t. So can our readers. Don’t submit work you didn’t write. We’ll know, and we won’t pretend.

How to apply

Send your CV to connect@zilck.com. If you have published writing — under your own name, on your own blog, in another publication, anywhere — include the links. We care more about how you write than where you went to school.

If we like what we see, we’ll set up the first 15-minute call, and you’ll be writing for us by next month.

That’s the job. Go on.
