Our Team

The Aha! marketing team is a highly collaborative group of experts across campaigns, content, creative, knowledge base, and product marketing. We operate within North American time zones to facilitate live video meetings and maximize our collective achievement. We drive growth as marketing is solely responsible for increasing awareness, visitors, and trial signups, given that Aha! does not have a sales team. We are dedicated, working exceptionally hard and fast to consistently produce engaging and valuable content for both new and existing customers. Our curiosity drives us to deeply understand our market, customers, and products, enabling us to clearly articulate the unique value we offer. We also prioritize fun, caring deeply about our teammates, and always making time to celebrate, support, and laugh. We genuinely enjoy what we do and want you to love your job too.

Our Programs

The content and communications group within the broader marketing team is responsible for crafting compelling stories that fuel the company's growth. We manage a diverse range of content, including blog posts, educational guides, newsletters, social engagement, and other customer communications, all designed to establish company and product thought leadership. We are deadline-driven and maintain high standards, focusing on providing content that is educational, entertaining, relevant, and refreshing. We embrace direct feedback and rapid revision cycles, all aimed at producing impactful work we are proud of. Our work is challenging and meaningful, fostering continuous improvement as writers and content creators.

We utilize Aha! Roadmaps and Aha! Teamwork for our planning and collaboration, acting as power users of our own software and often providing feedback for improvements that benefit customers. Communication primarily happens through Slack and Zoom, with email being used rarely.

Your Experience

You bring at least seven years of experience in shaping, writing, and editing thought leadership content for product and company leaders. You possess a deep passion for topics related to company growth, product development, and innovation. Expertise in voice matching, encompassing style, word choice, and worldview, is crucial. You also have a strong interest in quickly learning our distinctive philosophy on building lovable products and the comprehensive suite of tools we provide to help customers achieve optimal outcomes.

You welcome feedback and are resilient, nimble, and always willing to help others enhance their content. You understand that exceptional writing demands both domain knowledge and critical thinking skills. Likewise, you are keen to communicate how sophisticated workflow management tools can empower organizations to be more strategic and productive.
