Product Education Specialist - Content Writer

Patreon is a media and community platform where over 300,000 creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. We offer creators a variety of ways to engage with their fans and build a lasting business including: paid memberships, free memberships, community chats, live video, and selling to fans directly with one-time purchases.

Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:

• $10 billion+ generated by creators since Patreon's inception

• 100 million+ free memberships for fans who may not be ready to pay just yet, and

• 25 million+ paid memberships on Patreon today.

This role is based in New York or San Francisco and open to those who are able to be in-office 2 days per week on a hybrid work model.

About the Team

• Draft urgent content for broken or outdated systems and other high-priority needs.

• Support Patreon’s generative AI initiatives by maintaining and improving the Help Center and other chatbots, testing conversation flows, and refining responses using analytics, support volume trends, and training tools.

• Continuously analyze feedback, metrics, and user behavior to experiment with new content formats, improve processes, and enhance the overall self-serve and internal knowledge experience.

About You

The goal of this policy is to be intentional about the in-person time we spend together to strengthen the feeling of community at Patreon. Candidates hired into remote-eligible roles are not expected to meet the same requirements.
