Benefits

​

What we can offer you

​

• Remote working within the UK - We're a distributed team, so whether you want to join a co-working space or get your work done from home, the choice and flexibility are yours.

​

• Work/life balance - We work a 35 hour week and encourage downtime. We don't want people burning out. We offer a full Headspace or Calm subscription and have free mental health support available.

​

• The chance to make a big impact - We're a small team of 22 (and growing), and we don't do silos, so there's a big opportunity for you to collaborate closely with people across the whole company and make your mark.

​

• Easy-going team - We enjoy spending time with each other. Not being in the office together every day makes the heart grow fonder, so every 3 months or so we organise for the whole team to hang out and catch up. Our recent expeditions have included a Breaking Bad Cocktail Making experience (with virgin options), a food tour across London's East End, and making Christmas wreaths for that festive feeling.

​

• Need a holiday? We offer 32 days of holiday per year, which means more time to do something off the beaten path.

​

• Growth - We believe it's important for people to have the resources to grow both personally and professionally, so we offer a generous conference and books budget to help you scratch that knowledge itch.

​

A little more insight into why we exist and what's next for us

​

​

GatherContent was born from first-hand experience of the stress associated with wrangling content for websites. Our founders ran a digital agency working on chaotic and content-heavy projects. They quickly realised they were not alone in their frustrations with content not being given the respect it deserves.

​

Since GatherContent launched in 2012 we've helped tens of thousands of teams, across 135 countries, avoid hours of pain. We continually strive for a better way to organise, structure, produce, manage and migrate content for web projects - fighting the good fight against bad content.

​

GatherContent is fully remote, with team members working across the UK and Europe.

​

​

Why we're here

​

Because content matters. Content is crucial, however it’s often overlooked. It’s seen as a cost and not a source of value. We want to change that through education, advocacy and better ways of working.

​

To confront a market of ill-fitting products that fail content producers. Collaborating on content at scale is hard and the tools that exist aren’t fit for purpose. Word documents, spreadsheets and emails are a recipe for delays and stress. CMS’ aren’t designed for authoring. We’re changing these accepted, broken ways of working on content, to meet the fundamental needs of content producers.

​

To create a company we’re proud of. We want to create a world-class company that’s fair, transparent and employee driven. We want to create a company that cares equally about our people, planet and profit, to be a BS-free, psychologically safe workplace where people can do the best work of their lives, and enjoy the process. We want our team to be able to work remotely, flexibly and have a great work/life balance.
