Content Writer & Research Associate

About Metric Sherpa

Metric Sherpa is an insight lab and analyst firm serving B2B leaders in customer experience, employee experience, and work design. We publish original research, run advisory workshops, and build content that helps business professionals make sharper decisions. We need a writer who can turn expert conversations and research findings into content that respects our audience's intelligence and gives them something new to think about.

The Role

Metric Sherpa is hiring a Content Writer & Research Associate to produce written content for our website and brand. This is an individual contributor role on a small team. You will execute against a content plan set by leadership, not build the strategy yourself. You will interview subject matter experts, translate research findings into clear B2B content, and support light platform administration and publishing tasks.

This role suits a college graduate with internship experience or a professional with 3-5 years of writing experience who wants to build a contributor identity inside a respected research and advisory brand.

What You'll Do

Write and edit B2B content for the website and brand (roughly 70% of your time), including articles, research summaries, and thought leadership pieces

Interview subject matter experts to source quotes, insights, and narrative material for content pieces (roughly 20% of your time)

Support research projects by helping load and test surveys built by other team members and assisting with light research administration (roughly 10% of your time)

Translate existing Metric Sherpa research and data findings into accessible, engaging content for a B2B audience

Publish content in WordPress and review pieces for SEO and AEO (answer engine optimization) best practices

Build your own byline and contributor identity within the Metric Sherpa brand rather than ghostwriting for others

Collaborate with the content/brand and growth/sales teams to align written content with broader business goals

What You Won't Do

Set content strategy or build the editorial calendar (leadership owns this)

Manage freelancers or other writers

Create or manage social media content (handled by a separate function)

Design or run primary research studies (you'll support, not lead, research administration)

What We're Looking For

0-5 years of professional writing experience; internship experience and recent graduates are welcome to apply

Strong interviewing skills and comfort talking with subject matter experts to extract clear, quotable insights

Background in journalism, creative writing, or storytelling; a portfolio that demonstrates strong narrative and interview-based writing

Preference for candidates with experience in creative or marketing agencies, B2B software, research, or learning and development, though not required

Nice to have: familiarity with Google Docs/Drive, Alchemer, or Monday.com (we will train on these tools)

Comfort learning WordPress publishing and basic SEO/AEO review practices

Strong grammar, editing discipline, and attention to detail (Metric Sherpa follows the Chicago Manual of Style)

Ability to work independently within a small, fast-moving team

Why Metric Sherpa

You'll build a public contributor identity from day one, working directly with a recognized industry voice and getting early-career exposure to original B2B research, subject matter expert interviews, and brand storytelling that reaches decision-makers across customer experience, employee experience, and work design.
