Junior Content Specialist 2025

UpSlide is the number one productivity solution provider for financial services. Our software dramatically improves the functionality of PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Power BI and enables users at firms like Citi, KPMG, and BNP Paribas to focus on high-value tasks rather than formatting or copy-pasting.

We’re scaling up with 160+ employees across our offices in New York, London, Paris (HQ), Singapore, and Berlin.

Our values

Our values guide our approach to work and are at the heart of our recruitment process. To join our team, we look for individuals who value:

• Excellence: We think that every detail counts, and we place great importance on the quality of our deliverables.
• Trust: We are passionate, committed, and free to act with autonomy.
• Happiness at work: We enjoy looking on the bright side and we share our enthusiasm with our colleagues and clients.

The team

We’re a hard-working, supportive team looking for someone to bolster our content offering.

Team goals 

Our main objective as a marketing team is to cement UpSlide as the must-have solution for financial and professional services. We achieve this by running demand creation and capture initiatives to ultimately help UpSlide grow our client base.

Your responsibilities

Here are the tools we use daily

• Ahrefs (for SEO performance and research)
• Canva (for design)
• WordPress (for website management)
• GA4 (for reporting)

Your goals 

After six months of settling into the role and team, you’ll be an expert on UpSlide, understanding our clients and product, and can convey this across different assets and channels.

After nine months, you’ll be a key contributor to our main channel strategies - building impactful social media campaigns and SEO blogs that resonate with our audience.

Once you hit the year mark, you will have gained hands-on experience in a wide variety of content projects, from webinars to paid ad campaigns. We’ll continue nurturing your professional growth with our transparent career paths and yearly L&D budgets.
