About ASB Academy

ASB is a next-generation edtech institution pioneering applied learning across Blockchain, AI, Fintech, Cybersecurity, Marketing, and Design. We work with universities, government bodies, and industry partners to build pathways that bridge academia and emerging technology careers.

Role Overview

The Content Writer will support the academic and operations teams by developing clear, well-structured written content for ASB’s courses and communication materials. The role requires strong English writing skills, attention to detail, and the ability to adapt to an academic and professional tone.

This is not a typical marketing writing position, the role requires someone who can think like an academic, write like a strategist, and structure like a corporate communicator. While we do not discourage the use of AI tools for drafting or research support, originality of thought, articulation, and ideation remains our foremost priority.

• Create clear and engaging write-ups for courses, internship programmes, and campaigns.
• Support the team in preparing basic academic content and marketing material.
• Ensure clarity, accuracy, and consistency in tone across all written communication.
• Maintain consistency, clarity, and grammatical accuracy across all content.
• Organise and update existing content repositories under team guidance.
• Maintain version-controlled content repositories (Google Drive, Docs, Sheets).
• Create templates for standardised communication (emailers, pitch decks, course briefs).

Required Skills and Competencies

• Exceptional command of written English.
• Ability to switch between corporate, academic, and institutional tones.
• Maturity to understand and represent institutional language rather than marketing hype.

• Ability to write in a simple, structured, and professional tone.
• Good organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Basic understanding of MS Office or Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides).

Qualifications

• 0–2 years of experience in content writing or academic support.
• Fresh graduates with strong writing ability are encouraged to apply.

Technical & Tool Proficiency

• Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides)
• Canva / PowerPoint for content layout
• Familiarity with edtech, higher education systems, or proposal writing will be an advantage

What We’re Looking For

• Someone who writes clearly, thinks logically, and takes ownership of their work.
• A fast learner who can understand instructions and apply feedback constructively.
• A team player with the discipline to meet deadlines and maintain quality.

Application Process

Please submit:

• A writing sample (academic or institutional preferred)
