I run a fast growing tech startup based here in Phnom Penh that produces a web based software system that is used by business clients around the world (SaaS B2B). We are looking to expand our content marketing efforts in order to drive traffic and sales leads. This involves the creation and sharing of various forms of content across various channels (blog, documentation, social channels):
- Blog posts
- Promotional videos
- Tutorial videos
- Product documentation
- Short industry specific ebooks
- Info graphics
- Web advertising
- Email newsletters
We already have the capacity to produce all of the above to a high standard in terms of production quality. Where we would like to improve is our copy writing, so we would like to hire someone that can plan, write and script the content that we produce and then work closely with a designer to finalize the content.
We work in an technical industry that you are likely currently unfamiliar with, so you must be able to learn a new technology quickly and be comfortable creating content around subjects for which you are not an expert (at least initially). For this reason I think journalists maybe particularly suited to this position, using interviewing skills to extract information for content from more experienced colleagues.
I'm not really looking for any specific qualifications, it's about finding the right person with the right attitude rather than ticking boxes. Really I'm looking for someone with the following:
- Experience in copy writing (ad, short form and long form)
- Social media savvy
- Comfortable with using voice/face in video materials
- Extremely fast learner
- An active interest in technology
- Knows how to self learn
- Gets things done
- Not overly sensitive to feedback or criticism
- Corporate experience (enough to be able to speak their language and know how they think)
About the Job
In the beginning there will be a very steep learning curve and you will be expected to get up to speed with our product and the industry ASAP. In the beginning you will be given content ideas to work on, but in the future you will be expected to manage this alone.
The starting salary will be $1200 nett and there will be scope for ongoing salary growth once you are past the coaching stage and taking ownership of the role. You will work office hours Monday to Friday and will be paid for the public holidays that we observe as well as 15 days of paid annual leave. We will also consider applicants who can only offer a part-time commitment.
