The Role

In close cooperation with the Customer Success Teams, you will identify relevant topics and be responsible for creating the relevant content. There is plenty of variety, because you not only write for our extensive and well-attended help center, but also create a wide range of content for different channels, such as interactive tours through Personio, tutorial videos or presentations.

  • You will proof-read content to ensure technical accuracy, and will review external translations to Italian. 
  • You will analyze the performance of existing content and drive optimization initiatives based on results.
  • You will support the development and implementation of channel-specific content strategies (tonality, style guides) as well as an overarching quality assurance concept.
