This is an intermediate position for someone with experience in technical industries (manufacturing, engineering, electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, IoT, and similar) and demonstrated ability to craft thought leadership content.

You should have experience managing multiple brands and projects on tight timelines and quick turnaround settings (this doesn’t mean overtime, crazy hours or being available at all times – just responsiveness during work hours, superb time management and being a proactive, self-starter).

Projects could include:

  • Case studies
  • White papers
  • Press releases
  • Research reports
  • Website copy
  • Subject matter expert blog posts (interviewing SMEs required)
  • Sales collateral and email messaging

Nice to have: Experience as a magazine editor or writer, experience writing marketing or business strategies, experience with technical topics, experience writing persuasive, compelling website copy, experience ghostwriting thought leadership content for executives and industry experts, experience as a technical writer in an engineering environment, speech writing, and similar.

Skills:
  • Ability to create unique voices, including brand voices and distinct executive voices in multiple technical industries
  • Understanding of how to leverage SEO without sacrificing message quality or value/experience to the audience
  • SEO keyword research and use, SEO link placement, SEO writing structure and elements (we have a checklist but you should come with a basic understanding)

  • Can write to persuade and inspire action and engagement without sounding sales-y
  • Understands the psychology of marketing and can leverage various psychological techniques in content creation
  • Can conduct subject matter expert interviews professionally and efficiently and can elicit both critical information and nuanced, context information enabling a piece which is robust and engaging, informative and enjoyable, and finally unique, authentic and on-brand

Additionally, you should be an expert in online research, a deft interviewer and a whiz with Microsoft Office tools: Word, Sharepoint, Outlook, and, to a lesser extent, PowerPoint and Excel. You excel with minimal supervision in a remote-first/work-from-anywhere environment

You proactively keep up to date on marketing and copywriting trends and best practices, as well as technical industry trends

We offer:
  • A flexible, remote working environment
