We’re seeking a genuinely motivated beginner who’s eager to learn and ready to act quickly.

About Us
Upfirst is a pre-launch startup powered by large language models. We’re building a virtual answering service that handles tasks like appointment scheduling, message intake, and common customer questions for small and medium-sized businesses. Founded by experienced entrepreneurs with deep SMB backgrounds, we’re a small, tight-knit, fully distributed team. Our goal is to lessen reliance on high-turnover, low-growth roles in the virtual answering industry by offering businesses a smarter, more affordable AI-driven alternative.

• Edit and proofread for clarity, grammar, and brand voice.
• Learn and apply SEO best practices to improve content visibility.

What We’re Looking For
• Strong writing skills with a clear, engaging, conversational tone.
• A real interest in storytelling and marketing.
• Ability to meet deadlines and work independently in a remote environment.
• Some familiarity with digital marketing or SEO is a plus, but not required—we’ll train you.

What We Offer
• A fully remote, flexible work setup
• Competitive pay and equity, with the opportunity to benefit from company growth
• A flexible time-off policy
