How to Write a Job Description (JD)

We support organizations in developing clear, authentic, and effective communication — turning brand values into messages that inspire action and build lasting trust with their audiences

A well-written Job Description helps attract the right candidates and sets clear expectations from the start. Here’s a practical guide to writing one:

Use a clear, specific title (e.g., “Digital Marketing Specialist” instead of “Marketing”).

Briefly describe the role in 2–3 sentences. Focus on purpose and key contribution.

Example:

“Responsible for creating and executing digital campaigns that support brand visibility and lead generation.”

Use bullet points (5–8 max). Start each with an action verb.

  • Develop and manage content across digital channels
  • Analyze campaign performance and optimize accordingly
  • Collaborate with design and sales teams
  • Maintain brand consistency in messaging

Include required skills, experience, and education.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing or related field
  • 2+ years experience in digital marketing
  • Strong communication and project management skills

Mention work hours, location (onsite/hybrid/remote), or travel requirements

Tips:

Keep language simple and inclusive
Focus on what matters most — avoid listing every minor task
Use your company tone (formal or friendly) to reflect your culture

KPI vs OKR

Two powerful tools for performance — with different purposes.

Both KPIs and OKRs are used to drive performance and track progress, but they serve different roles in strategy and execution.

KPI = Key Performance Indicator

What it is:

KPIs are ongoing performance metrics that track how effectively a person, team, or organization is achieving specific operational targets.

Purpose:

To measure performance and ensure goals are being met over time.

Characteristics:

  • Focused on results
  • Often tied to job roles or business functions
  • Usually tracked monthly/quarterly
  • Stable and long-term

Example:

  • Customer satisfaction score ≥ 85%
  • Sales revenue per quarter = $500,000
  • Employee turnover rate < 10%

KPI vs OKR

OKR = Objectives and Key Results

What it is:

OKRs are a goal-setting framework that focuses on ambitious outcomes and measurable results within a defined timeframe.

Purpose:

To align teams with strategic goals, encourage focus, and stretch performance.

Structure:

  • Objective: What do we want to achieve? (Inspiring, qualitative)
  • Key Results: How will we measure success? (Specific, measurable)

Example:

Objective: Improve employee engagement across the company

Key Results:

  • Increase employee survey participation rate from 60% to 90%
  • Launch 3 new learning programs within the quarter
  • Achieve average engagement score of 8/10
