Freelance Writer - Rental Market Content (Part-Time)

About the role

Zumper is hiring a mid-level freelance writer to create city guides and rental-market content for our top 25 rental markets. This is a part-time contract role through the end of the year (up to 18 weeks), 16–20 hours per week.

Responsibilities

• Review provided rental data for each market.
• Write page copy for each market’s city guide that complements its data and charts.
• Research and write highly localized editorial blog posts (~3 per market).

Content must be 100 % human-written; the goal is to help renters understand the location and rental market, not to “sell” a city.

Requirements

• 3–6 years of professional writing experience (or equivalent freelance experience).
• Strong editorial judgment and attention to detail.
• Ability to interpret data and research and turn it into clear, engaging copy.
• Experience with local, real estate, consumer, or SEO content is a plus.
• UX copywriting is a plus.
• Ability to write within an established voice while keeping content fresh.
• Available 16–20 hours per week through the end of the year.
