Ever convinced a friend or colleague to buy a WordPress product just by using words? You might be perfect for this role.
We’re looking for an experienced and WordPress-savvy copywriter to help sell our products (and keep existing customers happy!) through persuasive and engaging copy.

It’s also important you have sufficient WordPress/web development knowledge.

If you don’t, you will struggle with this role… ????
This will either scare you or excite you… if it’s the latter, keep reading! ????
You’ll also have the luxury of writing about the amazing tools and plugins that make up our all-in-one WordPress platform. Our products cover everything from site management tools and hosting to WordPress plugins and client billing tools.
So don’t expect any day to be the same; you’ll always be writing about something new.
