Simpleweb is a purpose driven VentureTech company that specialises in new technology, product development, and human interaction. We love solving difficult problems by combining strategy, engineering, and art.

The role

We’re looking for a word nerd to create genuinely interesting and inspiring content for the Simpleweb blog and website. Creativity and curiosity are at the core of what we do; our content should reflect this (we’re not after the usual ‘top ten tips’ and stock photography!).

You’ll build and maintain close relationships with our wonderful portfolio of startups (they are a pleasure to speak to and fascinating people!) and interview some of the coolest people in tech. You might even provide a bit of advice and support to our startups every now and then.

Our current Content Manager, Kylie, who is moving onto another role within the company says “this is a great opportunity to follow your creative heart and make a big impact on our small company. Simpleweb provides a nurturing environment to learn and grow, as well as the freedom to shape your role.”
