We are looking for self-driven tech enthusiasts and creative journalists in the Android mobile space who can conceptualize ideas and turn them into compelling stories in the form of articles.

Still reading? Good, we like your chances.
What you'll do...
You'll contribute on a daily/weekly basis with internet research, topic ideas and content creation. Your mission: dig beneath the industry jargon, find the story, and turn that into a compelling post that grabs attention of our readers and competition alike. This could be in the form of breaking news, analytical posts, opinion pieces, etc. All content creation is handled in WordPress and team collaboration via Slack.
Who you are:
You're part strategist, part journalist - nailing one original story is more important than curating ten. To get there, you have to be willing to roll up your sleeves and look past the obvious. You're energetic and experienced. You love technology and all that comes with it. You're ready to start now.
Skills:
Strategic and creative mindset that can help develop uniquely-positioned content that resonates with target audiences
Strong internet researcher
Organized and able to juggle quick turnarounds and deadlines
Confident about asking for help when needed
Clear communicator, both in writing and speaking
Sounds like you? We'd love to hear from you!
