Become Our New Communication Specialist!

In your job as a Communication Specialist, you will be communicating across all channels (website, social media, email,…).

In this role, you will report directly to the VP of Marketing and contribute significantly to driving the company’s success by building and growing best-in-class communication.

For this position, it’s essential to be perfectly fluent in English. Since we also communicate in French, it would be a nice plus if you are able to effectively and professionally write in French.

You will join our Marketing team. We work remotely, and ideally you should live in a time zone between GMT+3 to GMT-5. We are so curious to know which new country will be added to our distributed team map! 🌍

What You Will Be Doing:

In your everyday job as a Communication Specialist, you should first enjoy our products! You will write and craft consistent communication to develop brand awareness, visibility, and engagement.


Here is a list describing the tasks involved in this position (do you happen to like making lists? So do we!)

  • You will grow and develop our brands, giving it more character and depth every day so that all customers find it loveable. 
  • You will collaborate with the marketing team and other departments to get insights and share news about what’s happening in the company.
  • You will create consistent and desirable messages adapted to each communication channel (ads, emails, landing pages…).
  • You will build and execute a social media strategy to broaden our audience, engage with our community and drive user engagement. 
  • You will be in charge of our newsletter, curating content ideas, crafting engaging messages, sending it to our audience, and growing our email list.
  • You will write blog posts about what’s happening internally (yearly review, WordCamps, team’s success…).
  • You will provide communication and social media activity reports and input for improvement.

What Do You Need To Excel at This Job:

Being yourself.

Our team is diverse and composed of people from all over the world. Respect, collaboration, and inclusivity are some of our core values (more on this below). Every day of work is an exciting opportunity to get in touch with fantastic people who will enrich your cultural and professional background.

Proven working experience in social media management and communication.

You have solid experience in social media management and communication (ideally in a start-up, a tech or a major e-commerce company), and a great understanding of marketing processes.

Excellent proficiency in English.

Your English is absolutely perfect. You write with excellent spelling, grammar and proofreading skills, while remaining accessible to a non-native English-speaking audience.

Communication and storytelling skills.

You can communicate openly with people, and modulate your writing tone according to the channel you write for. Your communication is friendly and engaging, even when you write about very technical topics.

Creative thinking and innovation.

You are able to think outside the box, generate innovative ideas, and develop unique content that captures our audience’s attention. Your ability to craft compelling stories and visually engaging posts will set our communication apart and drive our brand forward.

Organization and multitasking skills.

You can juggle different tasks but also ask for help when needed. The team will always be at your side to support you in case of doubt, and to spend happy moments exchanging funny animated GIFs!

Positive attitude, detail and customer-oriented.

You define yourself as a positive and proactive person. You like to experiment and also maintain your actions customer-focused.

Do you want to know three other things we appreciate about our candidates?

  • Previous remote job experience.
    Slack will be your virtual office, where all the life of the company takes place.
  • Knowing the basics of web performance.
    We will train you for this, and we will always have your back, don’t worry! But if you already have experience with web performance optimization, let us know. 😉

    We support our teammates to attend and/or speak at WordCamps and volunteer within the community.
