Content Creative
At our core, we’re a data company: we give our diverse users access to agricultural data at an unparalleled scope and depth. But also at our core is the belief that without the ability to tell stories—and tell them well—data can only be so powerful.
So we use our data, our expertise, and our voice to tell an array of stories related to agriculture: ranging from what China’s economic slowdown means for the soy market, to Ebola’s impact on crop production in affected countries, to the potential environmental effects of sanctions relief in Iran. And we’re constantly looking for new ways and new formats to tell stories related to what we believe is the most important sector in the world.
We’re looking for someone who can identify and effectively tell such stories and who can take complex data points and craft them into a story that's relatable to all. We want someone who thinks critically and creatively, has strong writing, research and editing skills, and is eager to learn from and collaborate with the agricultural geeks on our team.
Responsibilities include:
● Writing pieces for the weekly Insights series
● Writing shorter-form agricultural analysis pieces
● Editing written content as needed
● Keeping abreast of industry-related news
● Working with the marketing team on content strategy
● Creating and maintaining and editorial calendar
● Ad-hoc communications tasks
Skills Required:
● Outstanding writing and editing skills
● Ability to write about scientific issues compellingly and alluringly
● Ability to communicate complex issues clearly and using accessible language
● A creative thinker
● Comfortable writing in formal and informal styles
● Strong analytic and critical thinking skills
● Ability to work collaboratively with team members across functional roles
● A self-starter, ability to work independently against tight deadlines
● An independent thinker
● Strongly detail- oriented
● Ability to work in a fast-paced, demanding, entrepreneurial startup where you can grow exponentially
Bonus Points:
● Experience in science writing
● Academic background in a technical field
Experience: At least two years in a content development, or similarly writing-intensive, role.
