We’re looking for a Sr. Editor, Brand Content. As a member of the editorial team, you’ll work with leadership across all functions to establish consistency of voice across every brand touchpoint ensuring any user interaction is “true to brand.” You will also partner closely with our CEO, acting as his ghostwriter and our executive storyteller. In this role, you will report to our Managing Editor and will sit within our Brand Experience team.

Responsibilities include:

  • Writing and editing longform and short form copy across all Productboard surfaces and channels. This ranges from email marketing, social, comms, web, blog posts, editorial content, human influence pieces, CEO ghostwriting and executive storytelling, and anything else you can dream up.
  • Fostering an extremely close working relationship with our CEO, to the point where it is natural for you to create content in his personal brand voice.
  • Your work will vary and evolve over time and will cover a range of mediums. On a given day, you may start by writing a medium post by our CEO,  continue with crafting witty commentary for our Product Makers community, before helping write Tweets or respond to LinkedIn comments.
  • Growing and improving rapidly. At Productboard, you’ll be working with an incredible team, who love to learn from and teach each other. You’ll find yourself stretching to new areas, immersed in feedback, challenged by your teammates, and growing your skills on a daily basis.
  • Shaping the brand. We are building our brand identity every day, and your work will be a part of that construction. Your ideas will always be heard, and you’ll have meaningful input into the evolution of our high-level voice and personality, on social and at large.
  • Acting as an owner. We believe in hiring people and giving them as much responsibility as they can handle. Whether it’s playing with the limits of our brand voice or developing high-impact social stunts that attract the attention of press and power users, you’ll get to do the best work of your life on your own terms.

What we want from you:

  • 5+ years of relevant experience as a journalist, copywriter or editor, within a newsroom, large creative agency or a recognized brand
  • An interest, understanding, and empathetic ear for product managers, product makers and the process of creating exceptional products.
  • You write with strategy in mind. You have a brain and an eye for content design and user journey. You love to come up with ideas for content your audience will love, and write/execute that content on your own.
  • You write well. A sharp, witty, risk-taking writer with a deep understanding of building a brand voice that stands out. You have excellent grammar skills.
  • You have a bias towards action. You like to see your work out in the world, not stuck in decks. You favor practical choices, speed and a respect for sequencing. You focus on the things that matter and push back on things that don’t. You make deadlines for yourself and you move fast.
  • You’re scrappy and entrepreneurial. You thrive in fast-paced environments and are comfortable with not knowing the answer to something. You are willing to roll up your sleeves no matter what the challenge is.
  • You take pride in what you do. You understand the power and responsibility that comes from building a brand voice.
  • You love what you do, not because you feel you have to, but because you’re so excited to create something big for the world.
