We are growing! And we’re looking for an amazing person to join our marketing team. This position is best suited for a skilled storyteller, experienced in SaaS and/or video industry. We’re looking for an individual who’s able to talk the talk, but also occasionally manage content like publishing and editing contributing articles.

The perfect person for this position will be a content creator who can turn words into readable chocolate, with a strong sense of strategic direction. We do have a solid strategy in place, but this is a fast-growing market, so the trends are quick to shift and we need to be able to confidently refocus when needed.

Our team is incredibly smart, passionate, supportive, skilled, open to learning, happy to take constructive criticism and use it to level up. We’re looking for someone who can match that energy.

About The Role:

This person will work directly with our content marketing team and by splitting the workload and expediting delivery, focusing roughly 80% of the time on creating various pieces of content, like blog posts, ebooks and landing pages. The remaining 20% will be split between managing and editing contributing articles, with a small piece allocated for some miscellaneous tasks and team meetings.

This is a full-time remote position, and is not suited for a digital nomad lifestyle. We require a steady internet connection and a mandatory overlap of working hours with the rest of the team.

Requirements:

3+ years of experience writing (with writing samples to support)
Experience in SaaS (as a writer, editor or content manager)
Experience with SEO and keyword research is a must
Impeccable sense of grammar and punctuation (American English)
Creative writing style and ability to generate excitement in a copy (take a potato and turn it into Pringles)
A fully functioning workstation and a quiet place to work (with their own laptop)
Able to overlap at least 4 hours with our distributed team: from 6AM to noon ET
Quick to learn and able to understand audiences
Able to work independently
Native or near-native English speaker
Confident decision maker who bases decisions on hard evidence and numbers (‘Trust me bro’ doesn’t count)
Overall a kind and fun person 🙂
Experience writing / editing scripts for videos and podcasts is good to have but not a disqualifier
Experience in video industry or OTT in general (Nice to have but not a deal-breaker)
Good sense of content trends
Ability to predict and identify gaps in the market

Benefits:

Full-time (40 hours per week) remote job with contract. We want to make it clear that this is NOT a freelance / part-time position you can do in tandem with other professional endeavors
Join an amazing, creative and motivated team
Work from anywhere (OK, almost anywhere…), as long as you have regular overlap with Eastern Time business hours and reliable internet connectivity.
20 paid days off per year (eligible after the first 6 months with the company)
Budget for personal development
