Content Writer / Content Manager (Freelance)

About the role

We're hiring a freelance content writer to produce the content that supports our inbound engine — website content, case studies, and guest posts on external publications.

This is a fractional engagement covering the ongoing content output for our website and external placements.

You'll work from briefs supplied by our SEO specialist. The strategy layer (keyword targeting, search intent, technical SEO) sits with them. Your focus is voice, craft, and execution.

Our writing covers a mix of audiences. Business decision-makers — COOs, VPs of Operations, CFOs, Heads of Customer Success — are the primary audience for a lot of what we publish, since they're the people our sales team is speaking with. Alongside that, a meaningful share of our content is written for engineering leaders and developers: technical deep dives on AI orchestration architecture, modernization approach pieces, and articles that go into implementation detail. We're looking for someone who can move between these registers comfortably.

Our writing

Our positioning is built on being direct and specific. We say what we do, back it with numbers where we can, and prefer plain language to marketing padding. Reading our homepage is the fastest way to calibrate.

Concretely, we tend toward:

• Short sentences. Long ones are earned
• Specific numbers and named companies where the data supports it. "24 to 10 people" tends to land better than "significantly reduced headcount."
• Real perspectives, including honest tradeoffs and things that don't work as advertised

• Plain vocabulary. Words like "game-changing," "leverage," and "synergy" tend to mean less than plainer alternatives would

   

Ongoing engagement

Monthly output

• 4–10 pieces for our website: blog posts, product page copy, website copy updates as our positioning evolves, case studies, and other on-site content

• 4–8 guest articles for external publications, aimed at reach and backlinks

   

As-needed

• Sales enablement copy: one-pagers, pitch deck sections, email templates

• Other supporting content as offers and positioning evolve

   

Not in current scope

LinkedIn and other social content are not part of this engagement at the moment. We may add them later — if so, we'll agree scope and rate separately before starting

What you won't do

• SEO strategy or keyword research (our SEO specialist owns this)
• Graphic design, image creation, or video work
• Social media management, posting, or engagement replies

Required

• 2+ years writing for IT outsource companies serving the US market

• Comfortable publishing directly on WordPress — formatting, images, alt text, meta descriptions, internal linking
• Portfolio that shows range across business and technical audiences
• Comfortable executing from an SEO brief
• Working understanding of LLM / generative search optimization — what makes content citation-friendly for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini
• Case study experience, including running discovery interviews with clients

Nice to have

• Familiarity with operational AI, agentic workflows, or SaaS modernization topics
• Experience with long-form interview-based case studies

What success looks like

Six-month horizon. We'll review against these together each quarter:

• Reliable delivery of the monthly output we agree together
• Articles pass SEO review without major rewrites — readability, keyword integration, structure, compliance with Google's SEO fundamentals, LLM-friendly formatting
• Content published cleanly on WordPress — correct formatting, images, alt text, meta descriptions, internal links

• Voice consistency across pieces
