Ossila Hiring For SEO Content Writer and Editor at Bengaluru, Karnataka Full Time

Hours: Full-time (nominally 9am – 5pm)

Application Deadline: 24th January 2023

Start Date: As soon as possible

We are looking for a confident content writer and editor to join our SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and content marketing team. The successful candidate will help produce engaging content that not only brings new traffic to the website, but also drives product sales.

Originally based in the UK, we are creating a new Ossila team in India to help us through our next stage of international growth. This role will initially be remote but will quickly transition to onsite at a new office space in Bengaluru. Please do not apply unless you are able to work in Bengaluru in the near future.

The content on our website not only needs to be user-friendly, but must also meet commercial SEO endpoints. High quality writing skills coupled with commercial SEO knowledge and experience would therefore be ideal, but we will also consider candidates who excel on the writing side and are looking to challenge themselves.

The role will ultimately involve the following core activities:

· Reviewing and revising technical and transactional content with a view to improving the readability, overall quality, and usefulness of our written resources and product pages

· Writing effective marketing copy for use on our website and for award entries and digital PR

· Helping to recruit external writers on a contract basis and subsequently plan, commission, copyedit content before publishing it on our website

· Learning to perform keyword research and analyse web data to look for weaknesses and opportunities and create a content roadmap capable of fuelling significant growth

The primary objective of this hire is to increase sales. Improving our average position in Google for relevant keywords and increasing the number of website entrances and product page views will allow more potential customers to evaluate our niche technical products and determine how these fit with their research and development aims.

The SEO Content Writer and Editor will be an integral part of our marketing team and will play a vital role as we scale-up our traffic acquisition strategy.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a strong attention to detail, who enjoys working in a team and is confident in their writing ability. SEO training will be provided, but prior SEO or HTML knowledge (especially commercial SEO experience) would be advantageous. A background in science is not necessary, but candidates should be confident in their ability to read and rephrase technical writing while maintaining accuracy.

Essential Requirements

The SEO Content Writer and Editor will write non-technical content, and edit technical content predominantly aimed at an international audience of scientists and engineers. Readability is key, so an appreciation of good sentence structure, vocabulary, voice, and grammar is essential. Our scientific resource pages can be very technical and so it is essential that our copyeditor can interpret complex language and ideas and simplify these appropriately to improve the clarity of our text.

Candidates must have the following specifics:

· A degree in an essay writing subject (such as English, politics, or history) or extensive writing experience

· Strong and demonstratable writing and comprehension ability

· Ability to follow and, where necessary, set style guidelines

· High level of attention to detail and accuracy

· Excellent time management and a high level of personal organisation

· Ability to engage with and build good working relationships with a wide range of people

· Methodical and diligent work ethic

· Either commercial SEO experience or a passion for self-development in this area

We are also looking for the below soft skills:

· Fantastic teamwork and collaboration skills

· Strong desire for continuous learning and self-improvement

· Adaptability, resourcefulness, and an aptitude for problem solving

· Highly organised and self-motivated

Additionally, candidates must be able to reliably commute to Attercliffe, Sheffield, and want to work in a busy, professional environment.
