Folks, in case you missed it — I'm hiring a freelance accounting/business finance writer to join me in scaling content at Zenskar.

Details and the link to apply is in the comments, but let me clarify a few things:

➡️ We are ONLY reviewing relevant samples. So, articles on credit cards, mortgages, retirement, savings, taxes etc. won’t make the cut.
➡️ We're specifically looking for writers with experience in accounting and business finance content. Personal finance or SaaS content won’t work here.
➡️ Best solution if you don’t have a direct sample: Pick an accounting or business finance topic, create a piece, publish on Medium, and send it over.

Everything you need — deadlines, requirements, and more — is in the form (link in the comment). Let’s get this rolling! 🚀

🖤 About us

Zenskar is an AI-powered platform that automates billing, collections and revenue recognition all under one platform. As B2B (SaaS, AI, Fintech etc.) pricing evolves from vanilla subscription based models to more granular usage and custom pricing models, billing and pricing infrastructure needs to be completely reimagined.

The company was founded by Apurv Bansal and Saurabh Agrawal, who previously built and exited startups to Snapdeal and Gaana. Their experience spans companies and institutions like Google, Basepair, Elevation Capital, IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, and Harvard Business School. We're backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and other marquee global investors (details here).

Having successfully built the product and gone through our 0–1 journey, we are now scaling our core team. We're looking for people who are curious, driven, and excited to meaningfully co-build the next phase of Zenskar’s journey.

We’re default alive.

💥 Content Writing @ Zenskar

To succeed, SaaS companies need to innovate not only on their products but also in their marketing strategies. Content is the backbone of any marketing strategy.

1. At Zenskar, marketing is crucial to solving our users' problems as our core product. Our organic marketing strategy aims to provide immediate value to users, even before they start using our product. We strive to become the most trusted authority in our space, the go-to experts for our users.
2. Our marketing efforts focus on identifying the daily challenges faced by our users—finance teams at software companies—and creating content that helps them solve these issues.
3. To achieve this, we'll offer diverse resources, including webinars, blogs, newsletters, eBooks, whitepapers, social media content, podcasts, videos, and community engagement.

Simply put, we don’t write content for the sake of writing content - we only write content that genuinely adds value to our users.

The good part is that we are building a “pain-killer” rather than a “vitamin,” which makes it much easier to sell and market. The pain is severe, the product is best-in-class, and the market is huge—it doesn’t get better than this.

We have an extremely high bar for the individuals we hire, as you will realize when you meet the rest of the team. 🙂

😎 What you can expect

• Ownership and autonomy: As a founding team member, you have immense responsibility. You own and drive the execution.
• Culture:
  • We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and know how to have fun :)
  • Health of our team is most important to us. Balance work with life - be productive, not busy.
  • Being remote first, we thrive via async communication.
• Flexibility: Remote - work from wherever you are in the world 🙂
• 

• Compensation: We offer competitive salary with generous ESOPs
• Benefits (for full time roles):
  • Health insurance
  • Generous vacation policy
  • Learning and development budget
  • Team events and company offsites
  • Company Laptop
  • Maternity and Paternity benefits
