There are many ways you could write a job advert, but, absent something pre-existing to work from, here’s the skeleton template I use.

This was written as part of wider documentation about ensuring healthy and inclusive hiring practices, so isn’t a self-contained fully-fleshed-out thesis, but it’s been handy for me to use and re-use.

Example: FooCorp is seeking an Engineering Manager to work in our London office managing the Baz team who build widgets for our European customers.

Example: Acme Inc. is seeking a Python developer in the US to join our distributed team building internal platform tooling for our product range.

Broad introductory context about the company - who are you and what do you do. This is probably standard text you can lift from your careers page.

Expand on the introductory context and describe some of the things they’d be called upon to do. The kind of language you’d find in a formal job description, and not “requirements” or empty platitudes.
