Who are we?
At Upraised, we are focused on bridging the employability gap. We upskill candidates so they can realize their full potential and help them land their dream jobs. We are a seed-funded company, founded by Mona Gandhi (the first female engineer at Airbnb), backed by angels - Kunal Shah, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Airbnb co-founder Nathan Blecharczyk, and marquee investors - Lightspeed India and South Park Commons from Silicon Valley.
Why should you choose us?
Three fundamental things that we have got right are:
Product: You want to work for a start-up that genuinely believes its product is the best in the market.
Culture: You want to work at a place where you feel valued and heard and where culture is not lip service.
Team: You want to work with young, entrepreneurial, self-driven peers with infectious energy and zero judgment.
Our team has ex-founders, consultants, freshers, premier school graduates, and drop-outs - anyone and everyone is welcome. Skills, strength of character and work ethics trump everything else. Period!
Who are we looking for?
We’re searching for someone with a blackbelt in wordplay– someone who has done great writing work for websites, apps or games. Someone who has a flair for turning ordinary briefs into something extraordinarily creative.
As our Copywriter, you'll be entrusted with defining our brand voice and bringing it to life across various platforms/channels.
Our ideal candidate would be someone who has checked most of these boxes:
1) You have experience working as a copywriter for at least 2 to 3 years in a startup environment.
2) You’ve done great writing work for websites, apps or games. And, you have a portfolio to prove this.
3) You can hammer out a copy for campaigns across different channels and fine-tune CTAs till the cows come home. But you also consider the overall user journey and how the right word choice, tone and narrative flow can make everything sing.
4) You are grammatically sound. We’re all not grammar nazis here, but it'll be good to have one.
Of course, we understand checking all those boxes is impossible. Willingness to learn, do & perform trumps everything else.
What will you do?
# Write, ofcourse. Or type, whatever you want to call it.
# Most importantly, think before you write. Your job will not be to get from point A to point B, it will be about how interesting you can make that journey.
# What will you write for → Website content, emailers, sales and marketing campaigns, ads and promotional stuff for our product. Yes, there’s a lot of writing to do.
# Obsess about every small detail: every colon, comma, hyphen and even exclamation mark should be in its rightful place.
# Collaborate with marketing, sales and product teams to ensure every piece of copy is in sync with the brand’s identity, leaving a lasting impression.
This is a high ownership role. We are looking for someone who can comfortably work in many different situations and is extremely strong at oral & written communication.
