About The Role

If it doesn’t sell, it isn’t creative. Cliche or not, Olgivy’s words still ring true today. You probably know them well and we’re preaching to the choir. As our next Lead Writer, you’ll marry universal human truths to our brand promise and product vision, and shepherd a brand that has customers, and soon-to-be’s, falling head-over-heels for us. You’ll be obsessed with uncovering the truth about our customers—the pain they struggle with and the joy that comes when a piece of software they found helps them win at their job. You don’t shy from imagination and often seek the elusive answer to “Wouldn’t it be cool if…”. You embrace others around you who endeavor to do the same, in the pursuit of our goals, inspiring and pushing others (yourself too) along the way. You’ll partner with designers, developers, marketers and more to fashion the growth of G2’s brand and demand gen engine, elevating our vision to be “The place you go for software”. You’re key to unraveling our stakeholders’ challenges across nearly every prospect and customer touchpoint—from events, brand strategy and documentation, to campaigns, to amazing employee success projects that enhance the employee experience, you’ll have your hands full and elbows deep in rich, impactful work.
