Technology Content Writer

Technology can connect us, empower us, and drive us. And words-whether they're in an e-book, a web page, a case study, or a video script-hold the power to educate and inspire.

We're looking for an editor and writer who is passionate about both; tech and content creation are among their favorite things.

Our ideal candidate has extensive experience creating tech-focused content, working with subject matter experts (SMEs) to deliver crisp, engaging content for the right audience, at the right time.

They are flexible, resourceful, and inquisitive, thriving on creating content that addresses the needs of existing and potential customers, while shining a light on the solutions Cisco provides.

We're looking for not only a master of the written word, who will be an in-house expert on writing, but also a passionate advocate for the customer.

Additionally, they possess excellent interpersonal skills, working as a valuable partner with other content creators, integrated marketers, and audience and product experts to brainstorm, create, review, and optimize their deliverables.

• Create content focused on the awareness and consideration phases of the buying cycle, including but not limited to e-books, whitepapers, blogs, web pages, and case studies
• Manage the editing process with internal stakeholders
• Be a go-to writing resource in the marketing organization, writing or reviewing copy as needed
• Work closely with colleagues on the marketing team to understand content objectives and participate in content-specific brainstorming sessions for campaigns
• Collaborate with designers to fine-tune content throughout the content creation phase
• Actively cultivate an always-learning mindset, with a curiosity and eagerness to learn about our technology and its benefits
• Use project management software as part of the content creation, editing, and delivery process

• 7+ years of experience writing for technology decision makers
• An excellent editor and writer, with a passion for creating copy that engages, educates, and inspires to action
• Ability to take input from multiple stakeholders to formulate a cohesive direction for any given piece of content
• Strong communication skills, and the ability to work well both independently and in a cross-functional, fast-paced team environment
• Ability to balance and prioritize multiple projects and to adjust to shifts in timelines, deadlines, budgets, and project goals
• Portfolio that showcases excellence in writing, featuring an easy-to-understand, engaging, and polished style - please submit with your resume upon application
• Experience not only executing on content pieces but in advising on content strategy
