• Supporting new feature launches, including writing documentation and creating marketing and customer success assets.

• Experience working on a SaaS product used by leading PR and communications teams.
• A collaborative, ambitious culture where your ideas will be heard.
• Room to grow—professionally and creatively—as we scale into new markets.At MediaHQ, we practise growth mindset principles—we see possibility instead of limitation. If you’re excited to learn, experiment, and make an impact, we’d love to hear from you.
