Freelance Ghostwriter for Olos

We’re looking for a freelance ghostwriter / thought-leadership writer to help build a founder-led content platform for Olos, a real estate and housing company focused on attainable housing, faith-owned and underutilized land, community impact, and smarter development execution.

The goal is to turn the founder’s expertise into clear, substantive content that positions him as an expert in the space. This is not generic personal-brand content. We need someone who can understand complex topics and translate them into practical, intelligent writing for LinkedIn, newsletters, and occasional long-form articles.

The founder’s content will focus on topics such as:

Attainable housing

Faith-owned and underutilized land

Real estate development

Community impact

Public/private partnerships

Capital stacks and feasibility

Housing supply and execution challenges

AI-enabled real estate analysis

Mission-driven development models

Scope of Work

We are looking for ongoing monthly support. The expected monthly scope includes:

One weekly 45-minute interview/call with the founder

8–12 LinkedIn posts per month

2 newsletter drafts per month

1 long-form article or op-ed draft per month

Development of the founder’s tone, voice, and point of view

Light content calendar support

Repurposing founder interviews into multiple content assets

The ideal writer should be comfortable interviewing a founder, extracting strong ideas, organizing them into a clear narrative, and writing in a voice that sounds thoughtful, direct, and credible.

Ideal Candidate

The right person will have experience with one or more of the following:

Founder/executive ghostwriting

B2B thought leadership

Real estate, housing, urban planning, or development

Impact investing or community development

Nonprofit or faith-based development

Public policy, infrastructure, or economic development

Journalism or editorial writing

We are especially interested in someone who can write with substance and editorial judgment — not generic LinkedIn “inspirational” content.

What We’re Looking For

You should be able to:

Turn a recorded founder conversation into polished content

Capture the founder’s voice without making the content sound overly corporate

Write strong LinkedIn hooks and clear, useful posts

Develop newsletter-style content with a strong point of view

Suggest content angles based on industry trends and company positioning

Understand nuanced topics and simplify them without dumbing them down

Work independently and meet weekly/monthly deadlines

Tone and Style

The writing should be:

Clear

Smart

Practical

Direct

Human

Credible

Insightful

Non-generic

Not overly promotional

Not AI-sounding

The goal is to make the founder known for original thinking around land, housing, development feasibility, and community impact.

Budget

Estimated monthly budget: $1,200–$1,500/month, depending on experience and agreed scope.

Hourly range: $40–$60/hour.

We expect this to be approximately 20–30 hours per month.

To Apply

Please include:

2–3 relevant writing samples

Any founder/executive ghostwriting experience

Any experience writing about real estate, housing, impact investing, urban planning, public policy, or similar industries
