Our work has been featured on websites like HubSpot, Shopify, Intercom, and CXL, and our strategies are used by many of the top content marketing teams around the world.

Our team is 100% remote. Learn about the core values that drive how we work and build a company.

About This Role

We’re hiring a German-speaking content writer to create long-form content in Standard German (Hochdeutsch) for our B2B SaaS clients. This is a freelance position where you’ll work with our editorial team to produce well-researched, engaging, and SEO-optimized content that drives results.

If you’re fluent in Standard German, love writing, and enjoy diving deep into complex topics, we’d love to hear from you. The application passcode is Wortliebhaber.

Please note: We do not work with editors or writers who subcontract their work.

Responsibilities

• Write high-quality, long-form content in fluent Standard German (Hochdeutsch) across a variety of B2B, SaaS, and technical topics. You’ll create informative, engaging, and well-researched content tailored to professional audiences in the DACH region.

• Conduct thorough research to understand client products, target audiences, and industry context. Your writing will be rooted in real understanding—no surface-level fluff.

• Use our internal briefs to structure and outline your articles clearly and effectively. Our briefs give direction, but you’ll bring clarity, logic, and structure to each piece.

• Incorporate keywords and SEO best practices without compromising readability or quality. You'll balance search optimization with a natural, audience-first writing style.

• Cite credible sources, stats, and examples to strengthen your arguments and support your narrative. You’ll back up every claim with evidence that builds authority and trust.

• Adapt your writing style to match the voice and tone of different client brands. Whether formal or conversational, you know how to match the message to the brand.

• Work closely with editors to revise and refine content based on feedback. You’re open to collaboration and committed to delivering your best work.

• Consistently meet deadlines and communicate clearly with the editorial lead about progress, questions, or blockers. You’ll stay on top of timelines and keep communication proactive and respectful.

Who You Are

• Fluent in Standard German (Hochdeutsch). Native or near-native level written fluency required. You can write clearly and confidently for a native German-speaking audience.

• A strong writer with 2–3 years of experience writing content for marketing, SEO, or B2B brands. You’ve written articles that balance storytelling, substance, and strategy.

• Skilled at simplifying complex information into clear, actionable content. You enjoy making technical or abstract ideas accessible and engaging.

• Familiar with SEO fundamentals and how to write with both readers and search engines in mind. You know how to format, structure, and optimize without sounding robotic.

• Comfortable writing for different audience types—from technical practitioners to business decision-makers. You understand that tone, detail, and structure shift based on who’s reading.

• Organized and self-motivated. You can manage your own workload and hit deadlines. You’re reliable, proactive, and comfortable juggling multiple assignments.

• Open to feedback and collaborative by nature. You want to get better with every assignment.You view feedback as a tool for growth, not as a critique of your ability.

• Friendly, curious, and passionate about producing truly valuable content. You care about the craft and want to make your writing matter.

A degree in journalism, creative writing, German studies, linguistics, marketing, or a related field is preferred but not required.

Portfolio Requirement

Please submit 3–5 samples of written content in Standard German. At least 2 should focus on B2B, SaaS, or technical topics. Older samples are fine if you can pair them with more recent work.
