Content Creator - Residential Construction Focused

About BuildBook

BuildBook helps residential construction companies and their clients collaborate more effectively, make better decisions, and simplify the construction process. Builders love us because we help them minimize miscommunication that leads to costly mistakes, make more money, and delight their customers. Homeowners love us because we give them a feeling of control and help make renovation less stressful.

This industry is full of older “kitchen sink” style software products that are expensive, dated and difficult to use. Most people who need this software are non-technical and struggle on a daily basis to keep track of the details within their business. These struggles are where the errors typically come in.

Our mission is to create intuitive software that is easily adoptable by builders and their clients alike, and improves the outcomes for both sides.

Helping Real People with Exceptional Content

Our customers are small business owners and their clients. Our goal is to produce content that has a direct impact on the bottom line of their lives and business. You will be able to see your content being consumed by real people, looking for answers and solutions to real problems. Our success as a company is directly linked to the success of our customers.

About the Job

We're looking for a Content Creator in a contract-based role to craft high-quality and engaging content catered to the residential construction community.

This role is for an experienced storyteller with a background or knowledge in custom home building or remodeling who can educate, inspire, and help construction business owners looking to do more, and achieve more.

• Conducting and documenting research for content when needed
• Collaborating and coordinating with members of the growth team
• Optimizing content based on good SEO standards

Our team is small but growing, and our content calendar is full of much more than we can produce without more support. You’ll join us at an exciting time of skyrocketing growth and will play a key role in the early stage of BuildBook that will have both an immediate and long-term impact on the success of the product and company. 

About You

As a fully-remote team, we’re looking for someone who is self-motivated and highly productive.
