Who we are
Magma Partners is a leading Latin American venture capital firm. Founded in 2014, Magma has invested in 125+ top startups that are solving Latin America’s biggest problems and driving top-tier returns for our investors. We meet, analyze and review 1000+ entrepreneurs from all across Latin America to invest in 20-25 startups per year.
Our team is fully remote and our portfolio has founders in 30+ cities around Latin America, the US, and Europe.
Why content is so important to us
We believe the strongest brands of the future will likely have well built-out media arms. The best brands will own their own communications channels, whether that's blogs, media sites, podcasts, social channels, and more. Both Magma and our portfolio companies need to double and triple down on content in order to continue to be successful. We are looking to expand our team and continue to invest in content.
Magma is the leading Latin America VC for content. Some of our strengths include:
- Latamlist.com - Latin America’s largest English-language tech news platform
- Crossing Borders Podcast - Latin America’s, first English-language podcast
- Latamlist Espresso’s weekly tech news podcast
- Educational articles for founders in both English and Spanish to help them be more successful
What we need
We are looking for excellent freelance writers who are proactive, curious about the tech and venture capital industry in Latin America, and great communicators. We work in a dynamic, diverse setting that offers constant opportunities to learn intimately about what is happening in Latin America tech.
You must be a native-level English speaker and be comfortable reading and writing in Spanish, Portuguese, or both. To be successful as a content specialist, you’ll need to be able to communicate directly and clearly. As you will be working remotely, it is important that you are self-driven and motivated.
What you’ll do
As an English Content Specialist, you will be writing different types of articles, beginning with news articles on Latamlist.com. For top writers, we will offer additional types of content to work on, such as translations on our Magma blog, podcast show notes, and newsletters.
You will start by writing a couple of articles, and eventually grow to take on multiple articles per week if we are confident in your writing abilities.
In the medium term, we are looking for people who consistently deliver high quality work, and are autonomous and proactive. Our goal is to hire top writers to our team on a full-time basis.
