Our Mission
Happiest Baby is a mission-driven company helping parents raise healthy, happy children and saving lives. We make SNOO, the world’s first smart sleeper and the safest baby bed ever made—proven to add 1-2 hours of sleep per night—and develop landmark products, content, and services.
Our CEO is the renowned pediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp, author of the best-selling parenting guide, “The Happiest Baby on the Block.” SNOO was built with a team of MIT engineers and celebrated designers. It is the most awarded baby product in history and has been exhibited in six of the world’s top museums (e.g., Smithsonian, SF MOMA, London Design Museum).
Role
Happiest Baby is looking for a curious, creative, and eagle-eyed Staff Writer to inform and engage our audience. You’ll work closely with our Director of Content as part of our marketing team to tell our brand story through our blog, app, emails, social feeds, product copy, and more.
As a leader in the parenting and tech spaces, we need a skilled writer with a journalist’s gift for narrative and a marketer’s dedication to driving growth. You’ve got a dogged researcher’s commitment to getting all the facts just right, but you also know how to whip up a tagline that will make readers crack a smile. You’re just as comfortable crafting an informational post on baby poop (hey, it’s part of the job!) as you are pulling together a roundup of photogenic nurseries. You’ve always got new ideas on the tip of your tongue, but you’re not afraid to dig into analytics to inform your decisions. And, of course, you’re passionate about helping families live their happiest, healthiest lives!
