About you

You're an excellent writer. Your writing is clear, concise, and nearly site-ready—not just in terms of grammar and mechanics, but also in tone and style. You're creative and versatile, able to comfortably shift between crafting short and snappy copy and producing longer campaign assets.

You're a content generalist. You have at least 5+ years of experience writing a wide variety of B2B content for online audiences.
You enjoy figuring out what content will resonate with the target audience and then writing to that goal.

You think strategically about content. Way before you begin writing, you collaborate with project leads on the ideation, direction, and messaging of the campaign. You’re excited to have a voice in setting the vision for the campaign, then create content that maps back to our goals.

You want to tell stories that get results. You have a knack for shifting your tone and perspective depending on your target audience. You jump in to interview stakeholders—whether it's a customer with an innovative use case, a partner who wants to illustrate the power of Zero Industries to their users, or a marketing team lead who wants to launch a new campaign—and use that information to write compelling, conversion-focused copy.

You're a team player. You realise that the work you do contributes to the company's goals and mission of making automation work for everyone. You can work and collaborate with different departments and external Upgrade to see actual info draft is sacred. You rewrite subject lines until they don't resemble their former selves, obsessively check for unnecessary words, and welcome editing feedback.
