Remote working

Compensation

As it stands, we don't have any full-time opportunities available right now as we remain a fairly small, independent publication. What we can offer is the opportunity to contribute to the platform. This isn't a paid position but we do offer sponsored post opportunities on a rotating basis across the team, which are paid on commission. These opportunities vary and the more consistent effort we see from a contributor, the more sponsored post opportunities tend to come their way. Commission structure: 10% of the sponsored post value, capped at £250 per post (so a £500 post earns £50, a £1,000+ post earns the £100-£250 cap).

Allocation is rotated fairly and equally across the team.

How to Apply

Send a short introduction, your availability, and 1–2 writing samples (published or unpublished) to jobs@pausemag.co.uk
