Online Marketing Specialist and Assistant

We are looking for a full-time marketing specialist to help get our products in front of people who will love them. You will be working with our experienced design and marketing team as we run campaigns to grow our user base and optimize our user retention. Your work will be varied as we test and optimize different marketing channels to see what works best for our products and our users, so we are happy to hire generalists or those who haven’t found their specialty yet. Our senior team will be guiding you in the right direction, so don’t worry if you’re unfamiliar with the strategies mentioned here: we’ll teach you as you go. Here are some examples of the type of work you would be doing:

- Brainstorming, researching, and testing new marketing strategies, and reviewing them against those of our competitors.
- Running and testing search engine and social media ad campaigns.
- Devising and running split tests on copy and design to improve conversion.
- Writing pitches to the press about our new features and campaigns.
- Work where you want, when you want, and make a real impact.

Our work environment is all about giving you the resources and control you need to make great things. Working remotely gives everyone the opportunity to create their most comfortable and effective environment and schedule, and the small size of our team means everyone can make a real, noticeable impact on what we do. We excel in cross-disciplinary collaboration, ensuring we all benefit from each other’s expertise and work toward the same goals.

The marketing specialist we're looking for...

- Has an intense intellectual curiosity and drive to learn.
- Has a keen interest in what makes products popular and a good grasp of how people discover products online.
- Takes pride in their ability to collaborate on a cross-disciplinary team (writers, strategists, product designers and developers) and give valuable input.
- Works best in a self-driven environment, managing their own time and tasks with little supervision.
