We're helping makers - the people who design and build software products - to unlock their individual potential. We started with recruitment because helping someone find a job they love is one of the fastest ways of changing their life. Since then we've started expanding to things like training, root and building tools for the community.

Why&nbsp;now&nbsp;is a great time to join OfferZen

This is an opportunity to make a significant impact at a fast-growing tech company.

Over the past 5 years,<a href="https://www.offerzen.com/">&nbsp;OfferZen</a>&nbsp;has managed to make a large dent in the South African tech recruitment space and we have recently opened offices in the Netherlands. We are on a mission to help more people thrive in tech - becoming the central place for software makers to build great careers and companies to build winning teams. Our team has grown from 4 to 70+ and we’re looking to add more smart people who want to contribute meaningfully.

As a Marketing Campaign Writer you’ll play a key role in translating OfferZen’s unique value proposition and community engagement efforts to our customers. You’ll be responsible for leveraging the initiatives within the Growth and ops teams to drive conversion across cross-functional campaigns.

We are a fun-loving and very driven team of 70+ people.

We're passionate about learning and levelling up.&nbsp;Everyone at OfferZen strives for a growth mindset. We read books, listen to podcasts, share expertise obsessively, then take on hard challenges with smart guidance and support. When things go wrong, we look for the learning and how to improve.

We're good at remote.&nbsp;We have office space in Cape Town and Amsterdam but we're working remotely a lot of the time. For this role, we need someone located in South Africa. It's more fun to be near our Cape Town hub office, but we have all the tooling and processes to operate very effectively remotely.&nbsp;
