Part-time Technical Copywriter

With the rise of the cloud and digitization, organizations are beginning to capture and use data to drive smarter, real-time decisions, create new revenue streams, and operate more efficiently. Yet, historically, for applications to perform their best, the data they use needs to be physically close to the application—requiring the data to be moved toward that application—which is cost prohibitive, time-consuming, and leads to longer time to insight and decreased value.

Now, Vcinity is turning the cloud business model on its head. Vcinity is a vendor-agnostic solution provider that offers two game-changing capabilities: 1/ the ability to move data ridiculously fast (even across real-world, non-ideal conditions like high latency networks or distance) and 2/ seamlessly access and operate on data anywhere (without having to move the data at all). This enables some of the most mission-critical, distributed applications around the world. With Vcinity, you have reliable, real-time access to data, anywhere.

In this role, you will be on the ground floor of an incredible tech startup. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role in an entrepreneurial enviornment. You should be comfortable operating with ambiguity, competing priorities, and a high degree of agility. You’ll be working with the Director of Marketing to drive thought leadership, awareness, and demand generation through the development of compelling, easy-to-understand content. While you’ll be working with a leading-edge technology, you’ll focus on storytelling that focuses on simplicity, the end customer—and how this technology changes the way people live, work—and redefines the way the world can use and consume data. Expect to collaborate with our marketing team, marketing partners, inside sales, business development, and product teams.

This remote position can be located in any US state, preferably the Continental US.

Estimated hours per week: 20.

Be willing to dive in and familiarize yourself with various industries and partners to help script relevant narratives to showcase business value tailored to specific audiences.
Collaborate with marketing to build event messaging for hosted (such as small executive events) or third-party sponsorships (such as tradeshows).

What you’ll need:

Bachelor’s degree in marketing, communications, journalism, or relevant work experience.
(Ideally) Experience in a technology field (we play across networking, storage, compute, cloud, edge, etc.)—or willingness to develop a functional fluency in the space.
2+ years work experience.
Fantastic reading and writing skills, including simplifying complex concepts into compelling messages and content focused on business outcomes.
Ability to bridge between strategic thinking and tactical execution across multiple projects.
