About You
- You're an excellent writer. Your writing is clear, concise, and engaging. You're a pro with grammar and mechanics, and your number one priority is always the reader. You check and recheck everything you write, making sure everything you publish is accurate and helpful.
- You’re a blog pro. You have at least 3+ years experience creating a high volume of long-form blog posts, including on SaaS-related topics, and you bring a strong editorial point-of-view to each piece you produce.
- You’re obsessed with apps and software. You don’t just use apps and software; you dissect them. You have opinions on what makes them exceptional, and you understand how to share those opinions in writing..
- You’re a tinkerer at heart. You’re always tweaking and optimizing the tech you use in search of the perfect setup. When you approach a new subject, you don't let your lack of knowledge stand in the way—you Google, tinker, and love it.
- You want to grow as a writer. You’re excited about the opportunity to work closely with editors, learn the ins and outs of working on a content marketing team, and build your skills within software and tech. And while your main focus will be writing for the blog, you’re also willing to flex outside your main skill area to support the team.
- You're a team player. You realize 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 stakeholders. You also understand that no draft is sacred. You rewrite introductions until they don't resemble their former selves, obsessively check for unnecessary words, and welcome editing feedback.
- Efficiency is important. At Zapier, the work you do will have a direct impact on the business. You set up systems and processes that let you increase your impact to be larger than yourself as an individual contributor.
- You’re willing to learn the Zapier product and explain it to others. You’re all-in on the value of automation and systems creation and are excited to learn the ins and outs of Zapier.
