About The Role
We’re looking for someone who is a fast learner with a passion for (nonfiction) books and audio content. You bring a proactive attitude to your work, and you’re an excellent team player. You possess strong communication and organizational skills. Spreadsheets and data don’t scare you; you’re comfortable working with them. You have experience with a CMS – bonus points if you have worked with Airtable before. Further, you’re self-organized and would feel comfortable setting development goals for yourself and your role. We want you, our working student, to take ownership of your domains. This experience will not only give you a firm understanding of how we create our Blinks and Guides, it will also give you the opportunity to drive your own small projects. If this sounds like you, then come this way!
