You will regularly update and optimise our Naver Blog to maintain freshness and engage with comments and community interactions to improve content credibility and user engagement.
You will follow (and build in) existing content requirements for our website and our Naver content, and ensure timely launches by following our content calendar.
You will track the impact of that content, contribute to writing actionable playbooks and deliver articles at the highest quality standards.
You will upload and publish content that follows the latest SEO copy best practices and fits our local tone of voice, which is set by our language managers

Excellent grasp of the Korean language - technically strong with a flair for either a structured or creative style of writing
Intermediate to professional understanding and work experience in copywriting and copy editing, developing a keen appreciation of local writing trends

About the team

Working closely with our South Korea SEO lead, our Naver Content Specialist and our Outreach Specialist, you will be responsible for creating engaging and converting content on our Naver blog and on our website. You'll have access to a range of the best enterprise-level third-party tools, as well as several platforms and products we have built in-house that help us to world-class SEO.

Your role will involve executing a content strategy for South Korea, based on SEO and competitor research. You will also be able to draw inspiration from past successes of Canva’s global Content Strategy, but we count on your deep local knowledge to reach South Korean users in ways that we may not have explored before, particularly on Naver.
