JOB DESCRIPTION
AdThrive.com helps serious bloggers make more money with the ads on their site by acting as their trusted expert guide in the wild-west like world of online advertising. This means helping them figure out which ad placements to use, how to develop an ad strategy, and then actually installing that strategy for them. Through our work, we help the best creators and contributors on the web, people who have a passion for their craft (cooking, decorating, parenting, finance, investing) get to write about their passion and be paid to live their dream. We help bloggers leave their full-time jobs and stay home with their kids. We help struggling families pay their bills and find hope. We support the people who are creating the internet!
As an AdThrive WordPress Support & Happiness Engineer, you’re the kind of person who is passionate about helping people. It shapes your worldview. Perhaps you’re already active in helping people online through the WordPress.com or WordPress.org forums, or contribute to other online communities like GitHub, StackOverflow, StudioPress, etc. The thought of helping families earn enough money for one parent to stay home or to cover their mortgage gives you goosebumps.
We are looking for people with the right mix of compassion, writing skills, and technical knowledge to connect with creative publishers and get the job done for them. We do this through listening to their needs, understanding their goals, and then guiding them to the best outcome through the use of the advertising strategies we have mastered over time. We’re looking for fast-learning, creative, technically minded team members with a heart to serve the best content creators on the web.

- Being an active member of a distributed team via tools like Slack, G Suite, Zoom, Zendesk, Appear.in and more
- Understanding the needs of online publishers and crafting unique solutions to best serve their goals
- Building on our community of support, knowledge, documentation, and resources to help our team serve our publishers
- Working to understand a new development in the community/industry, overcoming new obstacles, and embracing a fast-paced virtual work environment
