Content Producer (Video/Audio)

Remote job

DESCRIPTION

At HelpDocs we build knowledge base software that helps companies of all sizes scale their support. We serve over 170 million pages a month for Fortune 100 companies down to fledgling 2-people-in-a-garden-shed startups (true story).

We’re making knowledge bases (traditionally dull and unloved) into something you actually want to update. One that helps to reduce churn and increase customer happiness.

We’re a fully distributed, bootstrapped, profitable team that’s growing fast. All organically with (almost) zero paid advertising spend.

As a Content Producer (Video/Audio) on the Customer Education team you’ll be working closely with the Customer Education Lead and founders to help educate prospective and current customers about how to use HelpDocs through top-notch visual and audio content.

About the role

The main responsibilities of this role:

• Make prerecorded videos to explain more complex product features
• Participate in, create, and/or edit podcasts and other audio content
• Produce video Courses to guide users through advanced HelpDocs use cases and generally educate them about customer support

As a member of the Customer Education team you’ll also be helping out with other customer-focused things. Here’s a rundown of the kinda tasks you could be involved in. Don’t worry! We know there’s a lot here. We’re not expecting you to be amazing at everything. We want you to play to your strengths

• Help current customers make the most of their HelpDocs subscriptions
  • Respond to customer chat and email queries
  • Write support documentation for common queries
  • Run live Sessions and Workshops to help customers one-on-one and at scale
  • Reach out proactively to existing customers and make sure they’re enjoying using HelpDocs. See how we can make their experience better.
  • Triage feature requests from existing and potential users to the Product team
• Help prospective users make the right decision about if HelpDocs is right for them
  • Respond to chat and email pre-sales questions
  • Identify where the product is a good fit for the prospect
  • Know the competitive landscape so you can refer prospects to one of our competitors if they’re a better fit
• Find and provide genuine value to potential future users
  • Long-form blog posts that tangentially relate to support, happiness or remote work. These are usually in the form of 1500+ word personal stories.
  • Help produce ebooks, worksheets, and other long-form content
  • Talk to existing customers about their work and write up interesting Customer Stories

It’s important to note that this isn’t a traditional support, marketing, or sales role. This role is specifically focused on educating HelpDocs customers so they can make the most of their existing (or future) subscriptions.

About HelpDocs:

• You’ll be working a lot with our current Customer Education Lead and the founders (we’re pretty awesome, so that’s a perk ).
• We’re bootstrapped, profitable and remote. You’ll get to learn how all that works.
• Transparent internal metrics and goals. We’ll share (nearly) everything with you from day 1.
• The whole team is friendly, approachable, and inclusive to all.
• 1-2 team retreats a year. We’re currently planning our fourth team retreat for early 2020. We’ve had retreats in Madrid, Panama and Bangkok so far.
• We’ll provide whatever software & equipment you need to do your job successfully
• Flexible vacation policy. Technically we offer 28 days to all employees, but we’re not counting. If you need time, take it. Then come back and do great work.
• It’s important to us that you stay healthy. If you’re in the UK we’ll add you to our private healthcare plan (incl. mental health, dental and vision). Outside the UK we’ll give you a monthly stipend toward your own coverage.
• We’ll also give you a discretionary stipend toward a gym membership or anything else you do to keep healthy.

REQUIREMENTS:

• You have a personality and you’re not afraid to show it.
• You’ve preferably produced videos and/or podcasts for at least a year. Even better if that experience is in a similar role.
• You’re fluent (like a native) in English. Bonus points if you speak a second language.
• You have excellent written communication skills
• You’re compassionate, and understand that all our users are amazing, even if they currently think you’re an asshole
• You’re not afraid of getting your hands dirty in different areas of the business
• You thrive on feedback, positive and negative, and are constantly working to be the best you can be
• You’re happiest (and preferably have experience in) working remotely. Bonus points if you love to travel.
• You have right to work in the UK (if you want to be officially employed) or you live literally anywhere else and are happy taking care of your own taxes (you’ll be retained as a full-time consultant)
• You have a passion for helping customers, and are driven to help them succeed.
• You’re ready to work at HelpDocs as your full time gig, and aren’t currently studying.

Missing a few things from this list but still think you’d be awesome at the role? We’d love to see your application anyway!

Final Notes

If you’re amazing at the role, there’s room to grow in your existing role, in Customer Education in general, or move to another role entirely. We’re pretty flexible.
We’re looking for someone to start as soon as possible. If you’re a good fit we’ll get back to you within a few weeks to schedule a chat on Slack (or team chat software).

Good luck
