About the role

Our team of 2 copywriters is responsible for everything we write here at komoot, from the words that go on to fill our apps, to the messages that make up our marketing campaigns. And now — as the komoot community continues to grow and the number of internal product squads increases — we are looking for an additional member to join our Copy Team to support the development of new features. You will be responsible for writing product, UX, and campaign copy, and championing komoot’s tone of voice across our suite of apps and websites.

Join us and help us ensure we continue to provide best-in-class user experiences to all who use our apps and websites and support our localization team to translate all content into 11+ languages. Become an impactful member of our copy team, help steer design decisions and feature development, deliver campaign copy for sales and marketing initiatives, and help make adventure accessible to all.

• Work with the copy team, Catherine and Craig, on continuous improvement tasks to ensure the words we publish are industry leading.
• Create channel and target group specific content and write engaging, easy to understand copy.

• You’ll travel together with our team to amazing outdoor places several times a year to exchange ideas, learnings, and go for hikes and rides.
