About the role

This role is an exciting role in our Marketing team – one that sits at the intersection of product, market intelligence and storytelling.

As Content Writer you will be responsible for creating content, ensuring it aligns with our business strategy and category position. Our millions of users, future customers and developer communities are reachable only with excellent content. The content we create must be of editorial-grade quality to reach our target audience.

This person will bring a strong communications background and a high proficiency in finding, eliciting and communicating strong stories to educate our customers, prospects and the market as a whole. We have a wealth of knowledge across our leadership, engineering and legal teams, and we need to create content that could span how-to articles on web scraping, and best practices for extracting data from the web to thought leadership on the industry's future. 

As Zyte’s Content writer, you will:

• Identify and create excellent editorial-grade content leveraging the expertise of our internal thought leaders across engineering, executive and legal teams
• Interview technical functions at Zyte and create excellent long- and short-form content to be used in anchor campaigns and company/employee social media and pitched to external publications
• Create content to support our Marketing Campaigns and social media efforts 
• Craft content that reinforces Zyte as the category leader

Responsibilities:

• Conceptualize, outline and create content to fuel our brand and demand campaign efforts
• Create philosophical, product-agnostic content that is ‘TechCrunch’-ready (content that resonates and doesn’t come off too salesy)
• Consult internal thought leaders on their own content strategies, and ghostwrite as needed
• Work within the editorial calendar – meet your deadlines

• 2+ years of journalism/corporate communications and editorial experience
• A portfolio of content examples that reinforce your excellence in storytelling
• A natural curiosity that makes you a great interviewer
• The ability to elicit and identify story ideas that tie back to our product solutions and problems solved by our software
• The ability to develop a deep industry understanding and the ability to effectively communicate with developer and business leadership audiences
• Experience pitching stories internally
• Bonus: experience pitching stories to media outlets

By joining the Zyte team, you will:

• Become part of a self-motivated, progressive, multi-cultural team.
• Have the freedom & flexibility to work remotely.
• Get the chance to work with cutting-edge open source technologies and tools.
