We can all agree that Christianity is a great product. It's 2000 years old and brings spiritual fulfillment to over 2 billion people worldwide. But it wasn't Jesus who took Christianity to the masses. It took someone like St Paul to make it a thing. His thirteen letters (tailored, by the way, to each recipient) were instrumental in forming the Christian identity and early Christian communities.

Moral of this (slightly irreverent) story? Marketing is important, no matter how good a product is. People don't just see a product and magically know how to use it to make their life better. Someone needs to teach them.

We are looking for an exceptional marketer to spread the gospel of Padlet. This is an in-person role in San Francisco.

Responsibilities

• Write blog posts, flyers, and other marketing materials to inform users about our latest and greatest launches.

• We're a small team. People wear many hats. We may ask you to write non-marketing stuff. E.g. it would have been nice to have had some help writing this job description.

Qualifications

• Be high integrity.
• Have a sense of duty.
• Respect people.
• Be exceptional at everything the job requires you to do.
• Bonus: have a good sense of humor.
