An executive's public voice rarely comes from the executive alone. Someone drafts the memo, shapes the talking points, and quietly signs off on the tone before it goes out under someone else's name. This part-time, fully remote opening is for a Virtual Freelance Executive Communications Writer who does that work: planning and writing the communications a leadership team relies on, without ever being the name attached to them.
A bachelor's degree in marketing, business, or communications is the standard starting point, along with two years of experience writing in a corporate or executive-facing context. Someone who has worked inside a marketing or communications team, even in a support role, usually has a better sense of how this job actually runs than someone coming from general freelance writing. Data-driven decision-making matters here as much as writing skill. Campaigns and initiatives get judged on results, not on how polished a first draft reads.
The freelance structure suits people who already manage multiple client relationships or projects at once, since the work is part-time and the pace can vary week to week depending on what a given leadership team has coming up. It does not suit someone who needs a fixed, identical routine every day.
The core of the job is planning and executing communications campaigns or initiatives tied to executive messaging, then tracking how they perform and adjusting the approach when something is not landing. That could mean a leadership memo that gets low engagement, or a talking-points document that needs a different structure after the first round of feedback. Coordination is a constant thread through all of it. You will work with internal teams and external partners to keep projects on schedule and consistent in tone, which means chasing down approvals and reconciling feedback from more than one source at a time.
A quarterly all-hands letter is a fair example of the kind of assignment that shows up regularly. It starts as a rough set of talking points from a chief of staff, moves through two or three rounds of feedback from different stakeholders who each want something slightly different emphasized, and ends as a finished piece that still needs to sound like one consistent voice. Managing that back-and-forth without losing the thread is a real part of the job, not an occasional exception to it.
Written and verbal communication is the obvious baseline, but the more specific skills carry real weight in this role too. Comfort with CRM software is expected, since most communications work in this space runs through some kind of pipeline or contact system rather than a loose set of documents. Campaign planning ability matters as much as writing itself, and analytics and reporting round out the list. Being able to read a set of engagement numbers and translate them into a clear next step is part of the job, not a separate skill layered on top of it.
None of these skills exist in a vacuum. A CRM report showing a talking-points document underperformed is only useful if you can turn that number into a specific edit, not just a general note that something is not working.
The role pays $62,000 annually on a part-time basis. It comes with health coverage, paid time off, and retirement plan matching, along with performance-based bonuses tied to how well a given campaign or initiative performs. Remoteroles lists this alongside other part-time communications roles, and this one stands out for pairing freelance flexibility with a benefits structure that most purely freelance work skips entirely.
The bonus structure is tied directly to the metrics mentioned earlier, so a campaign that performs well against its own targets translates into a real number, not a discretionary gesture at the end of a good quarter. That link between measurable results and pay is worth understanding going in, since it shapes how the role is evaluated day to day.
There is no office and no location requirement attached to this listing. Work happens on a schedule you largely set yourself, with a smaller number of fixed touchpoints, usually a weekly check-in and occasional deadline-driven calls when a campaign is close to launch. Documents move through shared drives or a CRM, and most day-to-day coordination happens in writing rather than in meetings. That structure works well for someone managing this alongside other client work, provided deadlines get hit without needing a reminder.
Time zone overlap is loose by design. What matters more is being reachable during the hours a leadership team is actually reviewing drafts, which tends to cluster around business hours somewhere, even if it is not the same somewhere every week.
Video calls are kept short and infrequent on purpose, since most of the substantive work happens in shared documents where several people can leave comments without needing to be online at the same time. A candidate who prefers thinking through writing over talking through it will likely find this arrangement comfortable rather than isolating.
A resume alone will not carry an application far here. Include two or three writing samples that show executive-facing tone specifically, not general marketing copy, along with a brief note on any CRM or campaign-tracking tools you have used. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and a short call follows for candidates whose samples match what the role needs, usually within the first ten days of applying.
