Content Specialist

**The opportunity at hand**

At Method, we create technology that powers small business growth. As we continue to grow our voice and market share, content marketing is a huge priority for us and an area that we’re excited to continue to invest heavily in.

We are looking for a Content Specialist who loves to write and is on a lifelong journey to perfect their craft. Someone who wants to create truly insightful content for our small business audience — content that increases brand awareness, influences perceptions and drives conversions. You are a creative person who loves to brainstorm and collaborate with everyone, from fellow markers to product managers and thought leaders.

This role is part of a team that’s just started to see impressive results from its SEO content engine. Join our team to have your ideas heard and actioned as you create a content strategy that positively impacts revenue and provides value to our target audience.

At Method, doing fantastic work is just as important as looking out for each other and our community. From flex hours and full benefits to our monthly Method: Gives program, we do our best to support both our employees and community.

As a marketing team, we’re keen to fail fast, learn from one another, and have (more than) a few laughs along the way.

**What we do**

Method understands that businesses are unique and so it is our vision to create a small business platform that is easily personalized for each of our customers.

Our flagship product is Method: CRM, a customer relationship management tool made specifically for small businesses who have outgrown their processes. Unlike other CRMs, the combination of Method’s deep QuickBooks sync and no-code customization engine enable businesses to achieve their optimal workflows.
