JOB DESCRIPTION

Wordsmith, logophile, editor extraordinaire — at Brafton, you’re a Content Writer, and you’ll be an essential part of our creative production team. As a member of our Editorial department, you’ll be dedicated to producing strong, creative written work that fuels our clients’ strategic SEO objectives and content marketing goals. You’ll create copy for blog articles, landing pages, white papers, case studies, eBooks, infographics, animated videos, and more. Whether you’re writing from client-provided resources or creating your own SEO briefs based on keyword research, you’ll know how to quickly adapt your approach and produce copy that blends in seamlessly with any brand’s tone and style. 

You’ll write for a variety of our clients, many of which are in B2B industries ranging from technology, health care, and finance to business, education, and marketing. You’ll leverage a natural curiosity and love for learning as you research and write about a variety of complex topics — but your time management skills will keep you working efficiently to hit project deadlines. As a self-motivated professional, you’ll have no problem tackling daily and monthly production goals by delivering high-quality content at a consistent pace. 

Client experience is paramount at Brafton, so, alongside your fellow Project Managers and Content Marketing Strategists, you’ll attend video meetings with clients for recurring check-ins and interviews with subject matter experts. Since you’ll be a part of project-specific teams with remote colleagues based around the globe, you’ll remain highly communicative and autonomous in your role.
