Italian Content Associate at Hallow in ITA

Who we are

Hallow is on a mission to help people pray. We’re the No. 1 prayer app in the world, with more than 1 billion prayers prayed across 150+ countries. We're building a product that is authentically Christian and Catholic, while at the same time a resource for anyone looking to grow deeper in a relationship with God. We believe that people are hungry for peace, and that there is no surer way to find it than by learning to sit in silence with Christ: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Mt 11:28).

Our goal is to build something truly great. Something that combines the beauty of the Church's spirituality with world-class product and content execution. And we need a world-class team to make it happen.

We launched the app in December 2018 and have been blown away with the incredible growth & traction. Hallow has been downloaded more than 30 million times with over 250,000 5-star reviews. We're blessed to be backed by some of the best mission-driven investors in the world and are excited to build out the team to help a lot more folks grow closer to God.

We are a startup. We move quickly. We are small but we take big swings. Each person is responsible for making an impact. It is hard—but deeply meaningful—work. We'd be honored & humbled if you'd consider joining us.

TL;DR: We’re hiring a bilingual (Italian/English), Italy-based content associate to own and grow Hallow’s Italian-language app - creating and curating original prayer content, and overseeing end-to-end content operations. This is a rare opportunity to combine theology, writing, content leadership, and growth in service of a mission-driven product reaching Italian-speakers around the world.

What You'll Do

• Direct all Italian-language content operations and build a comprehensive content library: You’ll create thousands of hours of original prayer content for our community across the Italian-speaking world, coordinating closely with audio production, engineering, voiceover, translation, and external partners.
• Acquire, translate, and write prayers: This role requires the ability to research prayers and prayer traditions from around the world to ensure thoughtful representation, accurately translate prayers from English into Italian, and write original prayers in Italian. A strong background in theology and writing is essential.
• Work with Italian-speaking guest contributors: You’ll reach out to a wide range of speakers, authors, theologians, religious, and other contributors to gather guest content such as prayer sessions and Bible stories. At times, you’ll attend live recordings (in person or online). You should be comfortable initiating new relationships and enjoy working with a diverse group of collaborators.
• Own the content operations and development cycle end-to-end: You’ll support all aspects of launching content in the app, including negotiating contract terms, sending payments to guest contributors, conducting quality assurance (QA), booking recording studios, and managing the placement and release of content. A willingness to jump in and strong attention to detail are essential.
• Drive toward key goals: You’ll be accountable to the Head of International for hitting key performance indicators (KPIs) across content production, community retention, and partnerships, and will be responsible for setting quarterly goals for the Italian content team.
• Collaborate with Growth and Product teams: You’ll occasionally work with the Growth team to provide input on ads, messaging, and emails, and with the Product team as they continue building and refining the app in Italian. Being part of a startup means collaborating across many functions.

What You'll Love

• Mission: This work is incredibly humbling. Everyday we hear amazing stories and we get the pleasure of working on something that’s impacting lives.
• Ownership: You’ll play a central role in crafting and executing strategy for our entire Italian market.
• Growth: You’ll be a part of the startup journey from the beginning. Over the next couple of years we plan to expand the company significantly and we’ll need your help to set the tone for how we will expand the app across the Italian-speaking world.

What We're Looking For

• Passion: First & foremost, we’re looking for someone excited about our mission. It makes it a lot more fun :)
• Bilingual (Italian & English): You have native or near-native proficiency in Italian and are a fluent speaker of English.
• Location: You’re based in Italy and are able to travel occasionally to audio recordings. This role will require some late afternoon/early evening work in order to maximize overlap with the U.S. Time Zones.
• Experience: 2+ years of experience translating content from English into Italian.
• Communication: You’re an expert communicator and conversationalist. Being able to communicate, negotiate, and build relationships is a must in both Italian and English. Experience with influencer marketing, partnerships, or relationships with the Catholic Church in the region is a huge bonus.
• Grit & detail-oriented: We really care about what we’re doing & try to build as fast as we can. Since we’re guiding meditation and competing with some large players in the market (Calm, Headspace), we have to stand out. Everything we do, say, send, or spend money on should be top-notch quality and set Hallow apart as the best.
• Comp: We will pay competitive market rates for this hourly contract position.

We're a small team and we care deeply about each new hire, so sometimes it can take us a while to get through the hiring process for these roles. Apologies in advance for any delays. We'll do our best to keep you updated throughout the process, and we really appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through everything.

We are honored that you'd consider joining the team and look forward to connecting with you.

Best,

Alex at Hallow
