Content Marketing Writer

Hey you. Yes, you. Are you a smart, talented writer who can write with verve and personality for any audience? 

One of those people who gets excited by strategic thinking, who likes to experiment with different formats, who enjoys sinking their teeth into complex topics and explaining them clearly to other people — without boring them to death? 

Someone who believes in quality and hates jargon? 

We’re looking for someone like you to join the Celonis writing team. If you have B2B tech or agency experience, that’s great. If you don’t, but you’re clever and creative and ready to roll your sleeves up and learn, that’s excellent too. We’d love to see what you can do.

Send us a varied portfolio — anything you’re proud of, whether it’s tech or consumer, long or short. It could be a massive rant about your biggest pet peeve or that feature story that never saw the light of day but is hands-down the best thing you’ve ever written. Send us an exciting cover letter. Showcase your skill, your intelligence, and your personality. 

Get in touch. We’ll get on like a house on fire.

About us

At Celonis, we turn the world’s processes into extraordinary experiences.

We’re pioneers of Process Mining technology, which helps large enterprises optimize their processes — the deeply unsexy workings behind the scenes — to work harder, better, and faster (stronger is maybe a bit of a stretch). It’s pretty technical, but very, very cool if you’re nerdy that way. 

The Content Marketing team brings this vision to life by creating dynamic experiences and compelling content across a variety of formats. We’re there to help the company achieve its goals — brand awareness, lead generation, sales and undying customer loyalty. As part of the team, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the brand and voice of a fast-growing startup. (And yes, it’s a classic start-up environment — things move quickly and priorities sometimes change overnight. A high tolerance for uncertainty and strong organizational skills will stand you in good stead.)

Bring a spirit of creativity, agility, and uncommon thinking and help our content stand out from the crowd.

This role reports to the Vice President of Content Marketing.
