How to Apply for Marketing Content Creator (1-year contract)

at Terrascope

🏢 About Terrascope

Terrascope is a climate tech company focused specifically on helping businesses achieve net zero through carbon measurement and management solutions. Unlike generic sustainability consultancies, they offer a technology-driven platform that simplifies complex carbon accounting, particularly for Scope 3 emissions. Working here means contributing directly to tangible climate action while operating at the intersection of technology, regulation, and business transformation.

About This Role

This 1-year contract role involves creating multi-format content (written, visual, video) that translates complex carbon accounting topics into accessible materials for B2B buyers. You'll directly support revenue conversations by producing content that educates potential clients and helps sales teams move deals forward. The role requires daily use of AI tools to accelerate content creation while maintaining quality and accuracy.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve using AI tools to research emerging carbon regulations, creating a video script explaining data quality in emissions reporting, collaborating with sales on content needed for an upcoming client pitch, and editing visual assets in Canva for a social media campaign. You'd likely balance multiple content formats while ensuring all materials accurately translate complex climate concepts into business-relevant messaging.

🎯 Who Terrascope Is Looking For

  • Has 3+ years creating B2B content in startup/scale-up environments with proven ability to produce writing, visuals, and video content
  • Demonstrates hands-on experience with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Canva, Descript, or Runway for content creation and editing
  • Can translate complex climate/regulatory topics (Scope 3, assurance, data quality) into clear, compelling content without oversimplifying
  • Has experience creating sales-enablement content that directly supports revenue generation and can track content performance metrics

📝 Tips for Applying to Terrascope
