Job description
For millions of teams working in dozens of industries, day-to-day business gets done on the phone. So why — despite the huge leaps we’ve taken in design and usability — does most business phone software still look, feel, and act like it was born in the 90s? OpenPhone is changing that.
We’re a new type of business phone with a mission to help people communicate better and be more productive.
We’re backed by Y Combinator and some of the best venture firms around including Tiger Global, Craft Ventures, Slow Ventures, and others. We take pride in providing an exceptional customer experience and a product people love, which is why we’re excited that our customers have rated us the #1 VoIP Provider on G2.
OpenPhone is the modern, sophisticated answer to the clunky, outdated phone systems that have been slowing down businesses for years. With thousands of happy customers and several rounds of funding in just five years, it’s safe to say we’re onto something big.
About the role
As a Content Manager at OpenPhone, you’ll be a connector who brings together a big swath of the work we write and create; help center articles, video scripts, ad copy, sales one-pagers, onboarding emails, and beyond. You’ll help us evolve and define our content standards, ensure the work we publish shows off our brand and is useful, and keep us organized as we tell the OpenPhone story across channels and platforms.
Our growing Content Team has a healthy appreciation for storytelling, education, and what we like to call “light business humor.” In a sea of outdated help articles, endless sales collateral PDFs, and repetitive (or often even AI generated) SEO posts, we strive to bring purpose and joy to every word we write. We’re here to help OpenPhone hit and exceed its Q3 KPIs, boost SQLs, and take on every business acronym you can throw at us, while making sure both we and our users have a little fun in the process.
This role is for someone who is comfortable zooming out to build content strategy, then zooming all the way in to polish someone else’s sentences. You’ll work closely with Product Marketing, Support, Sales, and everyone else in Content to ensure the work we produce is thoughtful, consistent, and driving good results.
Some of the things you’ll do:
- Own the strategy, execution, and quality control for a wide range of content needs, from support docs to ad scripts to sales enablement materials
- Write and edit content that’s clear, helpful, and aligned with our brand voice
- Develop playbooks, templates, and standards that support teammates and other departments in creating high quality content
- Work very closely with other Content Managers to build our monthly calendars and prioritize projects across cross-functional teams
- Collaborate with writers, designers, product marketers, sales, and video producers to bring many different kinds of content projects to publication
- Help identify gaps in our content experience and proactively take action on improvements
- Maintain consistency across content touchpoints. It doesn’t matter if a customer is reading our help docs, watching an ad on YouTube, or viewing a presentation from Sales, everything should feel like part of the same story and experience.
