Careers at VRTO
VRTO (Virtual Rent To Own) is the national rent-to-own store directory and consumer guide.
VRTO maintains a nationwide directory of more than 5,500 rent to own store locations, along with plain-English buying guides and original market data. We hire specialists to build that: a writer who researches and explains rent-to-own honestly, and outreach coordinators who earn coverage for our data. All roles are remote and ongoing.

Content Writer
We are looking for a talented writer to create the buying guides our readers rely on. You enjoy taking a complicated topic and turning it into a clear, engaging story: how rent to own works, what a lease really costs, and how to choose with confidence. You will research each topic, write the guide, and polish it with our editorial feedback. The role begins with a short paid trial (2 to 3 guides, paid per guide) and grows into an ongoing part-time schedule of 15 to 20 hours a week.
Survey Research Lead (PhD)
VRTO Research runs original consumer studies: real surveys of US consumers about what they buy, how they pay, and how they decide. We recently fielded a 2,000-person holiday shopping study in a weekend, had it independently audited, and published it with the aggregate data attached. We publish studies like this monthly and want a credentialed researcher owning the methodology. You design the instrument and sampling plan, catch problems before fielding, verify data integrity after, and sign the methodology under your own name. Roughly 8 to 15 hours per month, fully remote, long-term if it works.
