About the role

Firstwork is building AI-driven frontline workforce operations and is seeking a seasoned writer and content creator to shape the future of work. You will set research agendas, publish flagship reports, and maintain editorial standards while collaborating with data, engineering, and policy teams. The role offers scope to produce CEO-level long-form content, engage with academics, and develop partnerships with industry bodies in a fast-growing, well-funded environment.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
