at Worldly

🏢 About Worldly

Worldly is the leading impact intelligence platform that provides businesses with real data on environmental and social impacts within their supply chains. Their mission to drive sustainability at scale makes them a compelling choice for professionals passionate about leveraging data for positive change.

About This Role

As Knowledge Manager, you will own the strategy and execution of Worldly's knowledge base, ensuring customers can easily access accurate information about sustainability tools. Your work directly enhances customer experience and scales education across 8 languages, making complex sustainability concepts accessible globally.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing support ticket trends to identify knowledge gaps, then updating a help center article on a new LCA feature. You'd also sync with a partner organization about upcoming tool changes, and use an AI tool to draft translations for Spanish and French content, followed by a review with the localization team.

🎯 Who Worldly Is Looking For

  • Has 5-7 years of experience creating customer-facing content like help center articles, training materials, and SOPs, preferably in a SaaS or sustainability context.
  • Possesses foundational knowledge of sustainability concepts (e.g., life cycle assessment, carbon accounting) and can translate technical terms into user-friendly language.
  • Is proficient with knowledge base platforms (Zendesk, Confluence, HubSpot, Notion) and has experience managing multilingual content.
  • Excels at complex project management, balancing multiple stakeholder relationships (partner organizations, internal teams) and prioritizing content updates across languages.

📝 Tips for Applying to Worldly

1

Tailor your resume to highlight specific metrics from past content projects (e.g., reduced support tickets by X% through improved knowledge base).

Showcase your understanding of supply chain sustainability by referencing Worldly's platform or industry frameworks like Higg Index.

Provide a link to a portfolio of knowledge base or help center examples you've built or managed.

5

Research Worldly's current help center and note one improvement you would make in your application.
