We’re seeking an experienced Content Strategist who will serve as a pivotal link between our Product and Marketing team. This role is instrumental in crafting content plans that resonate with our audience, drive user engagement, and support our product’s goal.
You’ll have the opportunity to be part of a unique and quite innovative design product that is leading change and challenging the status quo in the industry.
Attention all job seekers!
Before you apply, let’s chat about some must-haves for this position. We need someone in the same time zone as we are, CET +/- 2, and English & Spanish languages. We know you can reach the skill level without a diploma, but just as a guide, we’re aiming for C1 in English and B2 in Spanish (that’s the minimum, but if you’re above that, it’s a bonus!).
