Overview

**This role is located in Austin, TX **

 Who you are: Got experience at a tech-focused ad agency or a bustling startup? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love to juggle multiple projects, enjoy writing and editing tons of content, and consider yourself a team player? If you dig technology of all kinds (from Active Directory to virtualization), dive head-first into long-form copy, and inject energy into all of your projects, Spiceworks wants you!

We’re looking for a talented Content Writer to join our content team, one with massive experience writing and editing (mostly) long-form tech marketing copy. You’ll help craft whitepapers, case studies, infographics, and other awesome content on behalf of our high-tech clients. You’ll often use survey data to dig deep into various topics and help these Fortune 500 clients create page-turning content for IT pros. Sound about right? We just might have your dream job!

Who we are: Launched in 2006, Spiceworks is an Austin-based company that’s shaking up the tech space and transforming how products (hardware, software, and IT services) are marketed and sold to millions of IT professionals around the world. 

Thousands of tech brands (including Microsoft, Dell, HP, and Rackspace) use Spiceworks to reach and connect with these IT pros. Historically a tough market to reach, vendors love the unique ways Spiceworks helps them connect with this elusive market… so much so that Forbes touted us “the future of media.” 

Responsibilities

Your day-to-day (as a Content Writer, you’ll):

  • Write SCINTILLATING whitepapers, case studies, infographics, and more that IT pros can’t put down. You’ll basically create a ton of research-based, meaningful content that busy IT pros can use as go-to resources on different tech topics and trends. 
  • “Own” multiple projects, whether writing them, handing them off to contractors, editing, or revising them — you’ll do whatever it takes to ensure spot-on copy for clients.
  • Get up close and personal with data and use insights as a key ingredient in your storytelling.
  • Speak “client” fluently, helping to guide project kickoffs in the direction most advantageous to an IT pro audience.
  • Stay on top of tech topics to help clients identify the tech areas IT pros want addressed and brainstorm great content ideas.
Qualifications

What will it take to do this job? (Your track record proves you’re…)

  • A top-notch storyteller and educator. You have the ability to take complex technical ideas and simplify them for your readers so they walk away better informed.
  • A formidable editor.You’re not just a spooky-good proofreader, you’re a pro at identifying areas for improvement in others’ drafts — and providing actionable feedback.
  • A total techie. You have a natural tech curiosity. You’ve probably got 5 –10+ years of writing experience in tech marketing/advertising or a related field (technology copywriter, IT analyst, IT journalist). Technical chops are a must!
  • A stat nerd.You understand how to read and write about data from surveys and other resources. You can draw conclusions from stats.
  • An expert (project) jugglerWith out-of-this-world project management skills, you multi-task and complete complex projects flawlessly and under tight deadlines. Agency experience is pretty much a must.
  • An IT whisperer. We aren’t looking for someone who just spins marketing speak. You’ll get “real” with IT pros and use data to help inform, educate, and above all, engage them on topics they’re interested in.
  • Rabidly committed to excellence. Moving fast is no excuse for technical errors and missed deadlines. You’re comfortable getting (and using) constructive feedback — it’s all about being the best!
