About the position

We are looking to hire an exceptional, versatile editor/writer/journalist who is passionate about communicating complex information in clear, consistent and sparkling prose. A background in science journalism is a definite asset, but an established record editing and writing in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment is essential.

You will work with our content team to create, edit and polish engaging, accurate, inspiring and well-written articles, guides and news posts about the low-carb ketogenic diet.

Our goal is to empower people everywhere to revolutionize their health – by making low carb simple.

We are funded by the people (through our optional membership), have no outside risk capital, and are owned by those who work here, all because we want to build a company that can do good for 100+ years.

We offer an attractive work environment filled with professionally engaged people, competitive salaries and the opportunity to become a co-owner. More importantly, we’ll give you the chance to work for a purpose-driven organization that exists to make the world a better place.

You’ll get the opportunity to travel internationally too, if you want that. Some of our coworkers regularly travel to low-carb related conferences all over the world. This could help you network with our international team of expert contributors.

Most of our full-time staff work together in a beautiful office in central Stockholm. So would you, if this position is right for you.

Don’t live in Stockholm? No problem – we’ll help you move here and find a place to live.

Timing not perfect? Reach out anyway – we’re willing to wait for the right person.
