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!).
As the Content Manager, you’ll be responsible for managing, creating, and editing content including: blog posts, workshops, social media, events, newsletters, case studies and website copy. 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.”
About you
You’ll be a bit of a pedant with exceptional attention to detail – no spelling or grammar mistakes will slip by you!
