A note - Truffle was founded on Twitter and our team’s organic, human approach. For those who can write, we offer creative freedom to flex that muscle and explore new rabbit holes. For us, this is where the magic happens. A chat on a social channel can change the way the rest of someone’s life plays out; the butterfly effect or the theory of chaos, proves how something seemingly insignificant can develop and result in some truly amazing things. We want to be right at the centre of change, acting as catalysts ourselves. So please push the boundaries! We’d like to prioritise Twitter and LinkedIn.

 

We’re looking for someone who will bring a huge amount of enthusiasm to what they do and who will add even more to our vibrant culture, bringing ambition and spark to Truffle life.

 

Please email your CV, cover letter and examples of your writing to info@truffle.social and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
