Overview

This is a fully remote position, writing strategy\-led website copy exclusively for mental health practitioners (therapists, counsellors, psychologists, psychotherapists, and group practice owners) across Canada and the US. You'll work from client intake documents to develop a clear first\-step message strategy, then write, edit, and proofread original website copy that moves a reader to act. AI has become core to how we work, but the thinking, judgment, and final words are yours.

This space comes with real constraints. Copy has to respect what colleges and regulatory boards allow practitioners to say (don’t worry, we will teach you!). Part of the craft here is writing copy that converts while staying within those lines.

What you'll do

  • Understand each client's business goals and who they're trying to reach
  • Develop a strategy that gets results
  • Use AI to synthesize and extract detail from client documents, paired with your own manual review
  • Write compelling, original copy aligned to the client's goals, strategy, and audience
  • Write bio pages that tell a real story and leave people feeling like this is the person they want to work with
  • Write specialty pages (following our templates) with keywords worked in naturally
  • Match each client's tone, style, and voice
  • Edit with precision, including knowing when a client suggestion shouldn't be implemented
  • Attend client\-facing meetings when a project calls for it (occasional, and not every project)
  • Proofread final documents and prepare them for development
  • Follow our SOPs and templates

How we use AI

AI is a non\-negotiable tool here. We use it to synthesize information, analyze, and draft. But raw AI output is rarely good enough. It's often generic, leans on clichés, and says nothing that moves the story forward. Your job is to question what comes out of these models, cut what's empty, and shape it into copy that actually works. If you think AI output is the gold standard, this isn't the role for you. If you treat it as a fast first draft you're responsible for fixing, you'll thrive.

Requirements

  • Follow the StoryBrand process
  • Use AI fluently as part of your daily workflow
  • SEO knowledge, plus AEO/LLM/AI\-search knowledge (or a real willingness to learn it)
  • Familiarity with: Claude and ChatGPT (or comparable AI tools), Loom, Google Drive, Canva, SEMrush (or a comparable SEO tool), Grammarly (or comparable proofreading tools)
  • Represent the tone, style, and voice of each client in your copy
  • High attention to detail: consistent capitalization, punctuation, Oxford commas, grammar, and US vs Canadian spelling
  • Understand website structure well enough to indicate SEO tags and place call\-to\-action buttons
  • Thrive in a fast\-paced environment where deadlines are firm and matter
  • Work independently and as part of a team
  • Willingness to work within our established systems and templates
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple projects at once
  • Reliable high\-speed internet

Experience \& qualifications

This can suit a junior copywriter, but you must bring:

  • An understanding of storytelling and how to use it to sell
  • An understanding of marketing and how people actually make buying decisions
  • Compassion, and a real interest in the mental health space
  • Fluent English with demonstrated writing, editing, and proofreading ability
  • The ability to work efficiently and prioritize across multiple projects

Pay

$28\-32

Schedule

  • Make your own schedule outside of client meetings
  • Available 9–5 EST, Monday to Friday, for client meetings
  • Projected 20–30 hours per week (with additional time if needed)

Location

Open to candidates in Canada.

About This Role

AI/ML Engineers build and deploy machine learning models in production. They work across the full ML lifecycle: data pipelines, model training, evaluation, and serving infrastructure. The role has evolved significantly over the past two years. Where ML Engineers once spent most of their time on model architecture, the job now tilts heavily toward inference optimization, cost management, and integrating LLM capabilities into existing systems. Companies want engineers who can ship production systems, and the experimenter-only role is fading fast.

Day-to-day, you're writing training pipelines, debugging data quality issues, setting up evaluation frameworks, and figuring out why your model performs differently in staging than it did on your dev set. The best ML engineers are obsessive about reproducibility and measurement. They instrument everything. They know that a model is only as good as the data feeding it and the infrastructure serving it.

Across the 3,823 AI roles we're tracking, AI/ML Engineer positions make up 69% of the market. At Master Your Message, this role fits into their broader AI and engineering organization.

Demand for AI/ML Engineers has been strong and consistent. Unlike some AI roles that spike with hype cycles, ML engineering is a foundational need. Every company deploying AI models needs people who can keep them running, and the gap between research prototypes and production systems keeps growing.

What the Work Looks Like

A typical week might include: debugging a data pipeline that's silently dropping 3% of training examples, running A/B tests on a new model version, writing documentation for a feature flag system that lets you roll back model deployments, and reviewing a junior engineer's PR for a new evaluation metric. Meetings tend to be cross-functional since ML touches product, engineering, and data teams.

Skills Required

Python and PyTorch dominate the requirements. Most roles expect experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and familiarity with ML frameworks like TensorFlow or JAX. RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) has become a top-3 skill requirement as companies integrate LLMs into their products. Docker and Kubernetes show up in about a third of postings, reflecting the production focus of the role.

Beyond the core stack, employers increasingly want experience with experiment tracking tools (MLflow, Weights & Biases), feature stores, and vector databases. Fine-tuning experience is valuable but less common than you'd think from reading Twitter. Most production LLM work is RAG and prompt engineering, not fine-tuning. If you have both, you're in a strong position.

Companies that are serious about AI/ML hiring tend to post specific infrastructure details in the job description: the frameworks they use, their model serving stack, their data pipeline tools. Vague postings that just say 'ML experience required' without specifics are often companies that haven't figured out what they need yet.

Compensation Benchmarks

AI/ML Engineer roles pay a median of $181,170 based on 12,692 positions with disclosed compensation. Mid-level AI roles across all categories have a median of $165,000. This role's midpoint ($58K) sits 68% below the category median. Disclosed range: $49K to $66K.

Remote Work Context

Remote AI roles pay a median of $170,000 across 1,926 positions. About 15% of all AI roles offer remote work.

Career Path

Common paths into AI/ML Engineer roles include Data Scientist, Software Engineer, Research Engineer.

From here, career progression typically leads toward ML Architect, AI Engineering Manager, Principal ML Engineer.

The fastest path into ML engineering is through software engineering with a self-directed ML education. A CS degree helps, but production engineering skills matter more than academic credentials. Build something that works, deploy it, and measure it. That portfolio project is worth more than a Coursera certificate. For career growth, the fork comes around the senior level: go deep on technical complexity (staff/principal track) or move into managing ML teams.

What to Expect in Interviews

Expect system design questions around ML pipelines: how you'd build a training pipeline for a specific use case, handle data drift, or design A/B testing infrastructure for model deployments. Coding rounds typically involve Python, with emphasis on data manipulation (pandas, numpy) and algorithm implementation. Take-home assignments often ask you to build an end-to-end ML pipeline from raw data to deployed model.

When evaluating opportunities: Companies that are serious about AI/ML hiring tend to post specific infrastructure details in the job description: the frameworks they use, their model serving stack, their data pipeline tools. Vague postings that just say 'ML experience required' without specifics are often companies that haven't figured out what they need yet.
