Paradox Hiring for Writer Psychology in English Job at Dubai Full Time

Wait a minute.

Deep inside you are looking for a new adventure with…

• 
  Freedom : feeling free to work remotely or hybrid and being trusted to deliver

• 
  Ambition : growing up surrounded by smart colleagues driven to create something big

• 
  Impact : contributing to transform people lives at scale

And you deserve it because your writings rock!

You are :

• 
  A passionate writer, obsessed with influence and storytelling…

• 
  A deep understanding of the art of conveying ideas with words…

• 
  A love of beautiful sentences, a consuming passion for a compelling copy that is remembered weeks later.

• 
  An ability to treat subjects with depth and skill. You hate writing for the sake of writing. You want to make an impact with your writing and think outside the box.

Then, you have found the next adventure that will fulfill you.

This is a full-time position, carried out from the comfort of your living room (or wherever you want) or from our amazing offices in Paris, Dubai or Barcelona.

But maybe YOU WONDER WHAT’S OUR STORY ?

–

We are convinced that people don’t want a job anymore!
They are thirsty for a project with meaning, either through entrepreneurship, or intrapreneurship

But…making it happen is quite hard without finding what truly inspires you and learning the soft skills you need to get there : productivity, leadership, public speaking, coaching, stress management…

This is why we craft trainings & educational content to provide a set of tools and strategies centered around soft skills, self-growth and performance.
We deliver through apps, e-learning platforms, events and a strong social media presence.

Paradox has one goal: to help people and organizations live their true ambition

The challenge is that some people experience learning as boring, too hard, or on the contrary : for losers.
Yeah, we all experienced that boring teacher or stumble on this video with unsubstantiated/crazy theories

It needs to change!!

So we travel the world with learning designers, and researchers and surround ourselves with top entrepreneurs ( Richard Branson, Marc Simoncini, Fred Mazzella ), top athletes (Mike Horn, Frank Leboeuf), artists (Gad Elmaleh, Barry Osborne, producer of Lord of the Rings and Matrix)… to reverse engineer their strategies.

️Our ambition is to make our trainings and coaching as attractive as watching Netflix and to make success the only option for our clients. (whatever success means for them)

So far, this approach has paid off and has enabled us to exceed 2 million followers on social networks, and to organize online events and training courses attended by thousands of people.

But we wanted more, so we created 2 new brands with international ambitions.

And with them we have 3 dreams :

• Helping 100 000 people achieve 1 dream and stick their pictures on a wall we call the 100 000 dreams WALL

• Have Will Smith and Richard Branson in our next documentary

• Reinvent Education & Create a badass platform to develop yourself

And that’s where you come in.

YOUR MISSION

–

Your mission will be to develop in-depth and with originality personal development topics with 1 to 2 quality blog posts each week to impact our reader’s lives and improve our website’s referencing.

Your 5 main missions :

1. Write 1 to 2 blog posts each week …

• 
  Quality, in-depth blog posts that readers are as eagerly awaiting as a kid waits for Santa Claus on December 24th!

• 
  Articles that bring value that our audience will be able to perceive and draw from your writings.

• 
  Articles on various topics but all related to the personal development we love at Paradox: Concrete personal development. The one that provides concrete tools and strategies to help our audience. Not the cool theories on paper that have never changed anyone’s life.

• We want each article to tell at least one story and make our arguments using scientific studies or true stories from legendary people.

• Each article has to have this special “touch” to make it recognizable as belonging to our brand.

Our Motto is: We share thoughts provoking and life-changing ideas through fascinating storytelling and scientific studies.

2. Writing 4 guest articles per month:

• 
  Quality articles to distinguish ourselves and cultivate our culture, our brand, with new interesting traffic sources.

• To allow Paradox to impact the lives of even more people.

• To allow a better referencing of our website thanks to the SEO tools that you master.

3. To test different formats and to be looking for the following structure that will be a hit.

• 
  Test different lengths, different structures, and approaches to determine which one will have the most impact on your readers’…

• But also different titles and hook.

4. Analyzing :

• 
  Study the feedback from your writings, the interaction they generate to conclude, and…

• Bring out what works and deliver it to the rest of the team.

5. Continuous training and improvement

• At Paradox, improving is not just a matter of practice; every team member is asked to do deliberate practice. That is, making a conscious effort to progress on specific aspects of your mission (such as your articles’ headlines, paragraph structure, sentence length, choice of the lexical field…) It’s something we love… this feeling of seeing yourself progress and controlling that progress!

IT MIGHT NOT BE FOR YOU

• We tell each other things, even if they are uncomfortable. We value growth over ego. At Paradox, expressing disagreement to a manager and knowing how to debate is valued! We encourage critical and strategic thinking.

If all this makes sense with you, then we’ll love working with you (and you with us, you’ll be pampered!)
