Back to jobs

The RVO Health portfolio helps nearly 100 million people a month seek health information, find doctors, save money, and effectively manage their health and wellbeing. Our family of industry-leading websites, products and services help guide consumers along the path to wellness by making healthcare easier to navigate, more accessible, and more affordable for everyone.

RVO Health features some of the largest and most relevant health information brands, each designed to serve a distinct health and wellness-seeking mindset in precise ways.

Enter Bezzy.

So often, living with a chronic condition can make you feel physically and emotionally isolated. Not only can it be hard to do things you loved before your diagnosis, but it can also feel like no one understands what it’s like.

Bezzy is a free online platform bringing new meaning to the word “community” for people with chronic conditions where:

everyone feels seen, valued, and understood
everyone’s story matters
shared vulnerability is the name of the game

We're seeking contributors who live with any of the 10 chronic conditions Bezzy covers:

breast cancer
type 2 diabetes
multiple sclerosis
rheumatoid arthritis
psoriatic arthritis
psoriasis
depression
migraine
IBD (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease)
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)

With Bezzy, we want to foster connection more than anything and while some of our content is designed to keep members informed and educated, the best of it is heartfelt, inspiring, insightful, first-person stories. Selected advocates will work with a condition editor who will collaborate on and approve pitches, review and revise drafts, and manage the publication process. All pieces submitted must have facts and statistics supported with credible sources and pass a medical review process.

If you are interested in contributing personal experience stories for Bezzy, please submit the below materials. You can include 3 samples of relevant writing or a link to an online portfolio.

Pursuant to various state Fair Pay Acts, below is a summary of compensation for this position.

Compensation: starting at $150 USD/article

We welcome all interested freelancers, but as we expect to receive a high number of responses, we are unable to provide individual feedback. Please also note that we cannot accept interest without either writing samples or a link to your online portfolio.

Our goal is to listen, engage, and activate voices to ensure that all identity groups and perspectives are represented in our work. Our aspiration is to have diverse partnerships at every level of the company, and we seek freelancers who bring unique personal experiences, curiosity and an eagerness to embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion.
