Why we’re hiring a knowledge base writer
We’re hiring a knowledge base writer to turn our most urgent and frequent questions into clear and concise articles to help our 1,500,000+ members around the work have access to immediate answers so they don’t miss the deal of a lifetime.
What we’re looking for in a knowledge base writer
* You’re a master in the art of breaking down complex processes into easy to follow steps.
* You know how to apply formatting (headers, bolding, icons, lists) to make the most important points pop, and everything easy to skim.
* You believe that a knowledge base is an opportunity to build trust and affinity, beyond simply answering their question.
* You’re independent and professional with a history of delivering high quality work on time with minimal guidance.
* Nice to have: You love travel and saving money!
Tone and style of our knowledge base
We’re friendly, fun and casual, without being sophomoric.
As a point of reference, we’re huge fans of the work that our friends over at Slack have done to create a knowledge base that’s both extremely detailed and easy to navigate.
Scope of the project
This is a project-based freelance role with the potential to continue as a regular contributor after the completion of the knowledge base. The initial phase includes ~75 articles — many shorter and several longer. Compensation will be on a project basis.
