About Us

TeamUpdraft is the global team behind some of the most popular WordPress plugins in the world. Used by more than 5 million WordPress website owners, our plugins help agencies, developers and website owners to back up, optimize and secure their WordPress websites.

We’re a rapidly expanding, diverse and creative team. Our growth has mainly come from our incredible plugins that are among the highest rated in the WordPress ecosystem.

Context

It’s been a big year for our team. We’ve spent the past 12 months building the TeamUpdraft parent brand and launching a new website.

It’s now the right time in our journey to expand the Marketing team to support various and important business priorities.

What You’ll Be Doing

This role represents a great opportunity for the strategic and the creative!

We’re diversifying our revenue streams and so part of your role will be understanding business priorities and milestones and aligning our marketing to support those.

You’ll develop and deliver a channel plan that maps out what we need to share when, how and with whom. You’ll make sure the right content reaches the right audience through the right platform. That might include a mix of blogs, email, social media and webinars promoted through owned, earned and paid media.

Requirements

We’re looking for applicants with a solid foundation in marketing and a creative mind, ideally with 3–5 years of experience in a content or communications-focused role. A relevant qualification, such as a degree or diploma in Marketing will be viewed very favourably.

Soft Skills

Soft skills are just as important as technical expertise. You’ll be well versed in supporting different stakeholders, balancing your time and resources to support our varying business objectives.

There’s plenty of support available, but we do need someone who can work autonomously and manage their time effectively.

You’ll need to be highly organised, communicative, detail-oriented, and a reliable, safe pair of hands.

Great Writing Skills

You’ll be comfortable taking technical concepts and translating these into great copy.

Creative flair

You will have a natural creative flair that allows you to produce engaging content (video, blogs, images, etc) for our audience. You will be used to rolling up your sleeves and producing your own content, without relying on others to do it for you.

WordPress Experience

You will understand the WordPress ecosystem, ideally by contributing to the community as a volunteer or in a paid role. You will feel comfortable reaching out and working with others in the community and helping us to engage with users and leading voices to increase our profile.

Salary

£30,000 - £40,000 approx.

Why us?

• 100% remote. We’re a global team of 50+ people, working remotely from around the world. The marketing team is primarily based in the UK, with one team member in New Zealand. We’re available when it counts, but generally your work hours are yours to own and manage.
• Monthly meet-ups for UK colleagues. UK-based colleagues have the option to join the team monthly in our co-working space in Newport, Wales.
• Flexible working. We’re more interested in finding the right person than sticking to a rigid 37.5-hour week. If you’re the right fit, let’s talk.

How To Apply

It’s easy to apply – just upload your CV as part of your application process and a short note about why you think this role is a great fit for you. After that, you’ll receive an email with a link to TestGorilla where you'll be asked to complete a short set of multiple-choice questions (taking no more than 20 minutes). These help us get a sense of your attention to detail and time management skills. We’d love to find out more about you – apply now!
