We're a marketing company with a purpose: we provide Search Engine Optimization and Thought Leadership services for well-managed, ethical companies. Our team produces high-level content for companies who are leaders in their industry and produce something of genuine value for the public.
Our most successful writers are well-rounded researchers with impeccable writing skills and a passion for tackling complex topics. They are tech-savvy, curious, and team players. The ideal writer is self-motivated, delivers print-worthy articles ahead of schedule, and is passionate about writing and the writing process.
We are seeking experienced writers with a background in, or passion for, technology writing for B2B publications. Some recent and upcoming examples of technically complex topics include
- Software development
- Cloud data integration and migration
- HVAC
- Debt Consolidation
- Pest Control
- … and everything in between!
We are looking for seasoned writers who can hit the ground running, researching and/or drawing from professional, hands-on experience to deliver informative, yet engaging content.
Requirements
Freelance Writer Duties:
- Write well-researched, engaging, and insightful articles for web publication
- Work collaboratively with your editor(s) to ensure every deliverable meets our high editorial standard and is perfected ahead of its due date
- When needed, interview subject matter experts from our clients’ teams or our own to gain the information and insights needed for your content

If everything turns out to be a great match both ways, our freelance writing roles can become a full-time, salaried position.
Our full-time writing roles have a starting salary range of $48,000 - $52,000 annually.

When you apply, you will be directed to our application page where you may upload your resume and cover letter. We also ask that you upload 1-2 writing samples of your B2B technology content (if you are linking from an online portfolio, please select 1-2 samples to highlight and link them in your resume or cover letter).
Our process:
We respond to qualified applicants with a brief email questionnaire. Strong candidates at this stage will be invited to a video interview. After interviewing, the top candidates will be invited to complete a paid writing sample.
Candidates who successfully complete the paid writing sample and its revision will be invited to video conference interview with several members of our team to discuss initial freelance assignments, or to interview for a full-time position, depending on your employment status goals.
Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you!
