Company mission
TaxJar's mission is to automate the sales tax experience for online businesses. They aim to use cloud computing to ensure less time is spent on sales tax compliance and more time is spent on growth.
Role
Who you are
- BA/BS degree or equivalent working experience
- Past experience crafting compelling long-form writing: journalism, blogs, e-books, and/or guides
- Understanding of how to use different digital channels for content marketing: Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, etc
- Self-sufficient at managing projects with many touch points
- A dual-minded approach: You’re highly creative writer who cares about the craft but can also be process-driven, think scale, and rely on data to make decisions
What the job involves
- Be a champion of TaxJar and Stripe’s voice -- and we welcome your ideas on how we can approach content and creative work in innovative ways
- Create compelling content to drive leads, subscribers, awareness, and/or other important metrics (examples include e-books, whitepapers, infographics, guides, etc.)
- Work with designers and video pros to develop multimedia content including digital ads and videos
- Help develop content strategies that attract prospective customers, educate them, and encourage conversion
- Partner with our social media manager on social content
- Collaborate with designers, product marketing, sales, and external influencers and industry experts to produce relevant content that meets the needs of both key stakeholders and our audience
- Convince others that your creative ideas are worth investing time and effort in. This role is at the core of the marketing team, and others will rely on your work every single day
Our take
TaxJar is stramling how e-commerce businesses manage sales tax compliance. Their cloud based platform automates the entire sales tax lifecycle across all sales channels, meaning no more searching through receipts and invoices, trying to calculate profit or the confusion of nexus reporting and filing.
Recently acquired by Stripe, TaxJar technology will be integrated into its revenue platform, sitting alongside Stripe Billing and Radar. Businesses will still be able to use TaxJar directly too.
Used by over 23,000 businesses, it's a good fit for online retailers who now have the responsibility of collecting sales taxes in states where they have no physical presence.
