About us
HotDog.com is a website that provides information for cord-cutters — people who are abandoning cable and satellite TV. Most of our content deals with streaming services like Disney+ and Sling TV. But we also discuss antennas and related technologies. And we write a lot about what is on TV — especially sports.
You will have the opportunity to join a team working remotely for more than 10 years, across 8 different countries. Over the last decade working remotely, we’ve developed unique processes, systems and ways of working that help us get things done (both on time and of the quality we expect of ourselves).
We use a few popular tools you may have used before:-
- Slack, for teamwork and day-to-day chat
- Google Docs/Google Sheets for collaborative documents
- WordPress to power our sites
- Trello to keep organised and meet deadlines
Requirements
- Native English speaker or bilingual English (we work in US English, you can be based anywhere).
- Strong WordPress skills well beyond the basics with a focus on updating pages.
- Experience with HTML coding.
- Online research skills (ie, trending sports events facts, when was the last time the Bengals were in the Super Bowl, what year did The Bachelor premiere, new tournaments playing as a special occasion)
- Accurate data entry
- Fact-checking skills
Requirements for everyone joining our team:
- Excellent communicator (remote work is otherwise impossible)
- Willing to follow instructions (eg, how to invoice correctly)
- Happy working solo (ie, without micromanaging or nagging)
- Well organized (ie, deadlines get met, without excuses or exceptions)
- Rock steady reliable – your word is your bond
- Will work our way – it will differ from your past experience
- Introverts will thrive in our team (we do have the odd extrovert too)
Pay & Workload
We pay well/fast, and presently have as much work as you can handle.
Rates vary in line with your commitment. You will get paid monthly in US dollars (by wire transfer).
We are looking for a commitment of 32-40 hours/week. There are no set hours, and you can work when you choose in any time zone and in any location – provided you meet deadlines. Did we mention how important delivering to deadline is…?
We don’t micro-manage; you will be expected to meet deadlines without exception, and without us hassling you.
Sound like a good fit?
We’d love to hear from you!
