The opportunity

We hire only the most brilliant professors and attorneys to write our content. But being a really smart lawyer just isn't enough. Quimbee authors must be masters at breaking difficult concepts down and saying them simply. In this capacity, you will serve as a legal educator. This is a position of great trust and responsibility. You are on the front lines, charged with ensuring that nothing but the highest quality content reaches Quimbee’s students.

We are seeking an author with strong subject-matter expertise in the NextGen bar examination to author integrated question sets designed to assist individuals preparing to take the NextGen exam. This is a part-time hire on a limited, contract basis, with a view toward possible future work at the project's conclusion. As an author on this project, you'll work collaboratively with Quimbee's editorial team to ensure that your work is the best it possibly can be. You'll master Quimbee's editorial and stylistic requirements to ensure that Quimbee delivers quality content to students on time, every time.

Who you are

• An expert on the NextGen bar exam: You know the ins and outs of integrated question sets. 
• A smart lawyer: You love the law. You were a star student in law school. You have a knack for breaking down difficult concepts and explaining them clearly and concisely.
• An outstanding writer: You’re passionate about good writing. In addition to your substantive knowledge, you bring a mastery of grammar, spelling, and style guides. You could teach composition 101 at a top university.

• A detail-oriented, tech-savvy, self-starter: You’re comfortable with technology generally and eager to learn. You’re disciplined and motivated, the kind of person who doesn’t need someone looking over your shoulder to make sure you’re doing your job.
