The Role

We are looking for an assignment editor who can outline articles for our pool of content writers. This includes writing headlines and section headings, suggesting content for each paragraph, etc.

You must have a proven track record of writing and editing online financial content for lay audiences. We're looking for folks who are very good at communicating complex topics to regular people who have no background in consumer law or finance.

Writers will work closely with our Managing Editor.

How to Apply?

To apply, please email rohan@upsolve.org three things: (1) a bit about yourself and why you feel like you'd be a good fit; (2) 2-3 writing samples, which are ideally online pieces relating to finance/law; (3) your resume.

We'll be in touch if we believe we may be a good fit.



Upsolve is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that started in 2016. Our mission is to help low-income families who cannot afford lawyers file bankruptcy for free, using an online web app. Spun out of Harvard Law School, our team includes lawyers, engineers, and judges. We have world-class funders that include the U.S. government, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and leading foundations. It's one of the greatest civil rights injustices of our time that low-income families can’t access their basic rights when they can’t afford to pay for help. Combining direct services and advocacy, we’re fighting this injustice.

To learn more, read why we started Upsolve in 2016, our reviews from past users, and our press coverage from places like the New York Times and Wall Street Journal.
