Writer/Editor

Austin, TX
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    The data.world team is looking for a PRODUCT MARKETING WRITER/EDITOR to evolve data.world's product marketing content operation. Your content will engage key buyer and user personas at the right point in their journeys. You'll know what's important to them and how they prefer to communicate. Your content will help with go-to-market execution, thought leadership, speeding up the buying cycle, and user adoption. At data.world, you'll spend most of your time writing, researching, and editing. You'll work fast, meet deadlines, and find freelancers to help out when needed. Your responsibilities will include proposing, planning, and creating a variety of content: product copy, landing pages, sales materials, blogs, email newsletters, social posts, and other more.

    You should be skilled at writing clearly about complicated things, but most importantly, you must care about why we write these things and how they impact someone's day-to-day. As a good fit for our team, you actively seek out and explain value, and you're not afraid to make recommendations to your readers. You don't use jargon, cliches, or filler. Right now, you're thinking about ways to make this job description better. It's something you can't turn off.

    You will report to the Head of Product Marketing, and work closely with the Growth Marketing Specialist, the Director of Marketing, and a diverse group of people on other teams. We're still in startup mode at data.world, and nearly everything we do is cross-functional. You know the realities of working at a high-growth startup, and this exhilarates you more than intimidates you.

    Our Product Marketing Writer/Editor must work in the Austin office - unfortunately the remote thing won't work for us this round.

    AT DATA.WORLD, YOU WILL:

    • Build a content operation that supports go-to-market needs, solves problems for our prospects and customers, and produces quality work at high speed
    • Research and write effective short- and long-form content such as product copy, landing pages, sales materials, blogs, emails, social posts, and other content
    • Support multi-channel marketing campaigns at all phases of the customer lifecycle
    • Generate and pitch content ideas
    • Self-manage reporting, researching, and delivery on deadline
    • Learn, stick to, and develop the voice of data.world
    • Edit your own stuff and stuff from others

    WE'D LOVE TO SEE:

    • 3+ years of writing experience in product marketing, science/technology journalism, editorial, copywriting, or other related roles, with a minimum of 2 years in a professional environment
    • An exceptional portfolio of previous work or relevant writing samples
    • Talented translator of technical or other complex subject matter / concepts and capabilities into business benefits
    • Pragmatic and detail-oriented
    • Exceptional communication, prioritization, and time-management skills
    • An appetite to try new things. You're curious and excited to improve your process, and always looking to learn
    • You ask questions and don't shy away from challenges

    ** IF INTERESTED, PLEASE ATTACH WRITING SAMPLES WITHIN YOUR APPLICATION FOR OUR REVIEW **

    PERKS AND BENEFITS:

    • The usual suspects: market compensation with a generous bonus structure, health/dental/vision insurance
    • Not so usual suspects: education credits, charitable donation matching to the organization of your choice, and event ticket giveaways
    • Catered lunch 4x per week, all the snacks, coffee, Yerba Mate, and beer you can handle
    • Regularly scheduled team events including game nights, rock climbing, and cocktail competitions
    • A flexible work environment with an understanding that employees are people with lives outside of the office
    • A tight-knit team of startup veterans with integrity, passion, and curiosity for days

    If you have the exceptional combination of skills and qualities that we are looking for, then we're excited to meet you!
