Job Description

If you've ever spent more time chasing invoices, formatting proposals, or sorting contracts than actually writing, you'll understand why we built Collective Thread.

We're a fully remote, global content and strategy studio powered by a curated writers' collective. You work independently, we provide the professional backbone: editorial guidance, client opportunities, and infrastructure that keeps creative work moving.

Built by freelancers, for freelancers, Collective Thread is more than a job board or agency. It is a creative home base. A space where writers are backed, supported, and showcased. A collective that values your time, protects your autonomy, and helps you grow your practice on your terms, with a team beside you.

What Makes Collective Thread Different

At Collective Thread, you are not a contractor on a list. You are part of a community. We have built the structure we always wanted as freelancers, combining independence with professional infrastructure, and community with clarity.

Here is what sets us apart:

Full admin, legal, and delivery support. We handle contracts, NDAs, invoicing, and payment tracking In-house formatting and design for projects that need polished assets or layout help Access to both client work and internal editorial campaigns A re-launching digital magazine, led by our collective and shaped by your ideas A clear tier system with real progression, tied to your contribution and referrals A personal profile on our website showcasing your writing voice and portfolio
Whether you are just starting out or already fully booked, Collective Thread gives you the infrastructure to scale without burnout and the community to grow without going it alone.
