The Aha! marketing team is a highly collaborative group of experts across digital, content, and product marketing disciplines. We work within North American time zones so we can easily meet live on video and achieve more together. Writers at Aha! contribute to the content engine that powers the growth of our company. You write and support blog posts, guides, newsletters, social media posts, and other content. You proactively deepen your understanding of Aha! customers and product management so that you can take on increasingly technical content assignments.
The content group within the broader marketing team is responsible for writing content that powers the growth of our company. We own a broad range of content — blog posts, educational guides, newsletters, social media, and other customer communications. We are deadline-driven and intensely committed to high-quality work.
We care deeply about understanding our customers and market. We aim to create content that is both relevant and refreshing. We embrace direct feedback and revision cycles — all in service to getting the content right. Our work is challenging and meaningful — we are always becoming better writers.
We do our planning and collaboration in Aha! Roadmaps. We are power users of our own software, often providing feedback and suggestions for improvements that are shipped to customers too. We use Slack and Zoom for video calls. (Email? Rarely.)

You want to work with people who love important concepts, not jargon.
You thrive in a deadline-driven environment and are comfortable working closely with senior leaders. You understand SEO best practices and have experience using online publishing and organizational tools. (Experience using Contentful is preferred, but not required.) You are interested in growing your copywriting skills alongside your copyediting skills. You enjoy delivering and receiving constructive feedback.
