We closed our $80M Series B funding and are thriving in this fast-paced hypergrowth phase. We’re looking for a brand new colleague to become our first ever Technical Writer in one of our offices in Amsterdam, Zurich, Vienna, or Munich! 🚀 
 
As a Technical Writer, you’ll get to play in the all-important space between our Product, Product Marketing, and Engineering teams, all while keeping technical users front and center. Creating, owning, refining, and developing technical content, like product manuals, how-to guides, customer support information, FAQs, and more, will all be under your purview. You’ll also become our go-to technical content touchpoint who brings not only role-specific insights, but can challenge the status quo and advocate for their discipline in a dynamic and fast-changing SaaS environment.

What you'll do:

    • Write clear, concise technical content across multiple online channels and platforms for both technical and non-technical audiences
    • Work with our Product and Engineering teams to understand how existing and new features work, even as they’re being developed
    • Partner closely with Yokoy’s Product, Engineering, and Product Marketing teams while writing and editing our user and developer documentation
    • Collaborate with our Customer Success team to align our technical content with their needs as well as those of our Implementation Partners

What you'll need:

    • Tertiary education in a relevant technical area
    • Exceptional English writing skills with 5+ years’ English copywriting experience
    • Min. 3 years’ English technical writing experience with a demonstrable track record of crafting user-centric, accessible content and working alongside engineers
    • You have a knack for making complex topics easy to understand and maybe even interesting
    • You’re able to identify optimal routes and methods to teaching and communicating complex ideas and features to different audiences 
    • You can adapt quickly and move on from deprioritized ideas, tasks, or projects 
    • You’re a proactive communicator with an intrinsic drive to design, implement, and curry buy-in for new processes and systems   
    • You love working in a team
    • You have native-level spoken and written proficiency in English; any other languages are a bonus. 
    • You have a portfolio showcasing relevant technical writing samples to share with us
    • Comfortable with finance and/or fintech topics and passionate about SaaS and user experience 
    • Bonus: Some experience with localization and UX writing

What you'll get:

    • We love to see people thrive! You’ll have the resources you need to own and be able to shape things from day one
    • Work closely with the founders and the leadership team
    • Move fast, measure the impact of your work, and keep improving
    • We’re growing fast, and you’re the expert. Help us shape our growth and we’ll help you shape your career!
    • Enjoy flexibility: Everyone has their own highly productive times. Have you found your sweet spot? Perfect! We only care about your output, not what time of day it was produced. 
    • Work remotely. We love in-person sessions, but we also know how to be efficient in remote and hybrid settings. 
    • A competitive scale-up package
We’re keen to get to know you. Apply with your CV and/or LinkedIn profile and a few words on why you’d like to join Yokoy. We look forward to your application!
