We’re looking for an amazing content writer who can understand the complexities of Knack’s platform and the wide variety of use-cases for which it’s used. You’ll work with our marketing and broader teams to help spread the Knack love to a growing audience.
In this role, you will:

- Coordinate with marketing team to specify, acquire or develop supporting illustrations such as stock imagery, screenshots, and video recordings
- Work to gain a deep understanding of the complexities of Knack’s platform and how it provides value in a variety of use cases
- Conduct simple keyword research and use SEO guidelines to help increase web traffic

We’re looking for someone who is:
- A bit of a geek. You love the nuances of technology and how it can help people.
- Empathetic. You understand your audiences’ needs and motivations, and can write to help address them.
- Experienced with writing both snappy copy and in-depth explorations, and understanding when each is best used.
- Passionate about quality and attention to detail. You consistently produce great copy by thinking deeply about value, soliciting feedback, and iterating quickly.
- Proven. A portfolio of published work, preferably in B2B SaaS, is required.
- Experienced with Content Management Systems like Wordpress.
- Humble but opinionated. You have lots of ideas, yet you are happy to shift directions when a better path emerges. You take your work much more seriously than you take yourself.
- An active collaborator. You want feedback on your work early and often, and you get a kick out of a collaborative process because it challenges you to do better work.
- Hungry for meaningful work, and space to do it. Knack is a complex product in a complex space and the work is extremely challenging - but also deeply rewarding. Knack makes a major impact in the work of thousands of companies and organizations.
About Knack
Knack makes it easy for anyone to build applications and workflows to make their data useful. Our customers use Knack to run their processes, departments, or even their entire companies.
We've been growing steadily since 2012 as we’ve built our team, perfected our product, and nailed our product-market fit.
So how are we different?
- We’re bootstrapped: we’ve had to build something our customers actually pay for. This changes how you do things.
- We’re 100% remote: and have been from the beginning. Every decision we’ve made has been based around optimizing our remote operations.
- We’re all a little weird: and we like it that way. We’re more than just chat avatars;we’ve all gotten to know each other, have grown together, and love working with each other.
- We enjoy the journey: we’re in this for the long haul. We’re not chasing an exit or the next round of funding. We’re building something we’re proud of and want to keep improving on.

These benefits aren't that bad either:

- Unlimited Paid Vacation: take the time you need to stay motivated, charged, and balanced. You’ll get required days off for birthdays and knackiversaries.
- Paid Corporate Retreats: we get together twice a year at amazing locations to do normal human being things in person. We pay for your flight, lodging, and meals.
