Staff Writer

WhistleOut is the #1 mobile comparison site across the USA, Australia, and Canada. We’re wholly focused on guiding our users through a seriously complex—and expensive—market by turning them onto carriers, plans, and devices that can help them stay connected with the world around them without breaking the bank.

Our goal is to use a combination of first-hand testing, proprietary user data, and old-fashioned journalistic research to make our content the absolute best you can find on the internet, hands down. We’d love for you to be a part of that.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a creative, motivated, and talented Staff Writer to join our team of mobile experts and enthusiasts. We’re excited to work with someone who loves brainstorming, is eager to keep tabs on the twist and turns of the mobile industry, and can help us find new ways to help users through well-researched, user-friendly, and SEO-driven content.

As a Staff Writer on WhistleOut, you’ll help everyday people make critical choices for their daily lives and budgets. You’ll break down the best cell phone and internet plans, help readers learn how to get the most out of their plans and devices, and turn them onto the latest mobile technology. You need to be skilled at simplifying complex ideas and translating tech jargon into common language. You’ll collaborate daily with other experts on our team, including specialists in SEO, UX, marketing, copy editors, and, of course, your fellow Editorial teammates.
