Help Build the Next Version of Borderless Living

We are looking for an editor and for a fact checker.

Since launching Borderless Living, I’ve tried to give readers something rare: real strategic insight in a world full of recycled blog posts and shallow YouTube hacks.

We cover high-context, high-stakes material — cross-border taxation, regime risk, asset protection, sovereign migration. It’s complex. And it matters.

And because it matters, it needs to be bulletproof.

That’s why I’m hiring.

We’re looking for two roles to help take Borderless to the next level:

✍️ 1. Strategic Longform Editor

We publish 2,000–5,000 word pieces that blend narrative, strategy, and systems analysis. You’ll be the editorial scalpel: tightening structure, challenging logic, and making the sharp parts sharper — without sanding off the edge.

You should be comfortable editing opinionated, complex writing. You’ll be working with me directly — shaping early drafts for clarity, tone, and flow.

We’re not looking for a grammarian. We’re looking for an editorial partner who understands how ideas move people.

Who We’re Looking For

This isn’t just about grammar. It’s about judgment.

I need someone who can step into longform drafts that blend:

• international law and tax strategy,

• geopolitical pattern recognition,

• psychological warfare at borders,

• and the occasional very pointed critique of modern technocratic feudalism…

…and help shape them into clear, tight, compelling essays — without sanding off the teeth.

You’ll be working directly with me. That means fast-moving drafts, last-minute rewrites, and the occasional tangent that turns into a full-blown essay overnight. It’s not chaotic — but it is dynamic.

This role is for someone who likes being deep in the work. Someone who finds satisfaction in sharpening ideas, tightening logic, and amplifying voice — without needing to rewrite everything from scratch. Someone who’s tactically invisible… but makes the writing 10x better.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Editing longform strategy and narrative pieces for clarity, tone, structure, and punch

• Preserving the voice (a mix of policy analyst, ex-spook, and defiant Gen X libertarian)

• Making strategic suggestions when a section is too thin, confusing, or repetitive

• Occasionally helping with headlines, deck copy, or email blurbs

• Providing fast turnarounds when a piece needs to hit within 24–48 hours

You won’t be expected to fact-check — we’re hiring separately for that — but you will be expected to notice when something sounds off or logically thin and flag it.

Who You (Probably) Are

• You’ve edited opinion, policy, or thought leadership work before — not just how-to articles or generic B2B

• You’ve worked with authors who have a strong voice and aren’t afraid to make bold claims

• You know how to preserve rhythm and tone while tightening logic and flow

• You’re fluent in the difference between edits that improve clarity… and ones that neuter style

• You don’t need handholding — but you do ask smart questions

• You can work with tracked changes, margin comments, or markdown — whatever the workflow demands

Bonus points if you’ve worked in:

• Political commentary, legal journalism, or think tank content

• Substack editing or independent newsletters

• Ghostwriting or collaborating with strong founders or public figures

✅ 2. Professional Fact Checker (International Tax, Law, and Migration)

This isn’t a role for AI or ChatGPT parroting headlines. We need someone fluent in verifying legal/tax strategy across multiple jurisdictions — someone who can sense when a sentence like “Singapore trusts are bulletproof” needs qualifying, and can cite the law firm whitepaper to back it up.

You’ll be reviewing longform drafts before they go live, checking:

• Jurisdictional facts (residency rules, exit tax triggers, CRS enforcement patterns)

• Legal and financial structures (trusts, LLCs, treaty interplay)

• Policy and immigration shifts (Golden Visas, asset reporting, sanctions risk)

Ideal candidates have a background in legal research, financial journalism, compliance, or regulatory analysis — and can move fast without cutting corners.

This isn’t fluff. This is mission-critical work — for people serious about helping others build real sovereignty in a collapsing system.
