🟢 THIS WEEK'S REMOTE JOBS

Automattic is the company behind WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Tumblr, and more — 1,700+ employees across 90+ countries, zero offices. This is not your typical EA role. You'll work directly with the founder as a trusted "Wrangler" — triaging priorities, managing calendars, handling high-profile communications, and making the impossible look effortless. Exceptional written communication, strong judgment, and full autonomy are non-negotiable here.

If you've been looking for a way into a globally respected remote-first company at the highest level — this is it.

They are hiring a CS Team Manager to lead regional teams, mentor CSMs, drive retention, and own performance metrics. You'll work in close collaboration with the Global Head of Customer Success. Remote-first since 2004 — these people know how to run a distributed team.

KnowBe4 is trusted by over 70,000 organisations worldwide for human risk management and cybersecurity awareness training.

If you're organised, proactive, and thrive in a high-accountability environment, this one's worth your application.

💡 SKILL OF THE WEEK: Write results, not responsibilities

Instead of "Managed social media accounts" write "Grew Instagram from 1,200 to 8,400 followers in 6 months through weekly content strategy." Remote hiring managers skim CVs fast — numbers stop the scroll. Go through your CV today and replace every duty with a result.

🛠 TOOL OF THE WEEK: Loom (free)

Record quick video walkthroughs of your work instead of writing long emails. Remote companies love candidates who already communicate asynchronously — and Loom is how many of them do it. Showing up in a Loom video before your interview is a shortcut to standing out.
