Remote Writing Center information

What is a remote writing center?

A Remote Writing Center is an online resource where students, professionals, or anyone seeking writing assistance can get support virtually. Services typically include feedback on essays, research papers, résumés, and other written work, as well as guidance on grammar, structure, and citation styles. These centers are staffed by trained tutors or writing specialists who communicate with clients through video calls, chat, or email. Remote Writing Centers make writing help accessible from anywhere, offering flexible scheduling and tailored support for diverse writing needs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote writing center consultant, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Writing Center Consultant, you need strong writing, editing, and tutoring skills, often supported by a degree in English, writing, or a related field. Familiarity with online collaboration platforms, document sharing tools, and citation management systems is typically required. Excellent communication, patience, and the ability to give constructive feedback are critical soft skills in this role. These skills enable consultants to effectively support diverse writers remotely, enhance learning outcomes, and foster academic success.

What is the difference between Remote Writing Center vs Remote Content Writer?

Work environmentOnline platform, educational or academic settingDigital marketing, blogs, websites
Employer usageEducational institutions, tutoring servicesBusinesses, media companies, marketing agencies

The Remote Writing Center primarily focuses on providing academic and educational writing support, often in tutoring or editing roles. In contrast, Remote Content Writers produce marketing and web content for various industries. While both roles require strong writing skills and similar credentials, their work environments and employer types differ significantly.

How do remote writing center staff typically collaborate with students and other staff members in a virtual environment?

Remote writing center staff collaborate with students primarily through scheduled video calls, live chat, or document sharing platforms to provide personalized writing support. They often work closely with other staff members via team meetings, shared digital resources, and collaborative workspaces to ensure consistent service and share best practices. While the remote format can make communication more challenging, most teams use messaging apps and regular check-ins to maintain strong connections and a supportive work environment.

Job description

For over 20 years, Smartsheet has empowered teams to manage work seamlessly and scale solutions smarter. Now, in our most ambitious chapter yet, we are uniting human teams with AI agents. By orchestrating the work agents do best, automating manual tasks and uncovering insights at scale, we create the space for people to focus on what truly matters: judgment, creativity, and big thinking. That is magic at work, and it's what we show up for every day.
We are seeking an experienced Technical Writer to plan, develop, and maintain customer-facing content for the Smartsheet Help Center and internal product documentation. You'll partner with the product team to deliver and maintain documentation that serves as the foundation for customer and internal enablement. As a Technical Writer, you own documentation quality and strategy across our product knowledge base-enabling both customers and internal teams to self-serve and reducing support and training burden. You'll drive improvement initiatives across our documentation, learning tracks, guides, and video content, while managing rapid product changes.
You will report to the Manager, CE Enablement Knowledge Experiences based in the US. This role is eligible for remote work within Costa Rica. You must reside in Costa Rica.
You Will:
  • Immerse yourself in Smartsheet's product line and gain an understanding of the technologies and features necessary for accurate documentation.
  • Distill specification documents and internal technical specifications and use the information to create targeted, quality, customer-facing content. Deliverables include but aren't limited to:
    • Technical articles for the Smartsheet Help website (how to, reference, FAQ, troubleshooting) and/or API documentation on the dev website
    • Content for eLearning modules or videos
    • Internal documentation
    • Visual aids for Help content (screenshots, gifs, etc.)
  • Produce customer-facing video content, including scripting, recording, and light editing in collaboration with stakeholders and subject matter experts
  • Work with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to ensure the technical accuracy of your work
  • Use AI tools to accelerate content production, improve quality, and scale output-applying established team workflows and experimenting with new approaches as the tooling evolves
  • Track and report on your own project assignments and schedule, working towards hard deadlines
  • Contribute to templates, processes, and standards that support consistent, scalable content production
  • Review and compile internal change requests and customer feedback and use this information to recommend and implement content changes
  • Work with the Web Team to suggest Help site improvements for both the end user and the writers who are publishing content
  • Maintain the Smartsheet Help and Learning style guide
  • Optimize content for discoverability via Search
  • Work on improvement projects to implement content governance tools, improve processes, and document changes.
  • Other job duties as assigned.

You Have:
  • 3-5 years of experience writing or editing content for a variety of audiences on the web
  • A BA in English, Technical Communication, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience)
  • Basic understanding of and ability to use HTML formatting
  • Strong Command of English language both oral and written (C1 and above)
  • Experience developing templates and processes for ensuring consistent delivery
  • Understanding of SEO and GEO best practices
  • Experience using analytics tools (Google Analytics, for example) to make impactful content decisions
  • A passion for technology and familiarity with the benefits and challenges of working on a SaaS product
  • An ability to distill technical jargon and turn it into clear and professional language that is customer-focused
  • Familiarity with video content production-scripting, screen recording, or light editing
  • Experience creating screenshots and/or visual diagrams to promote understanding of complex ideas
  • Strong organizational skills and an ability to perform basic project management and prioritization tasks
  • Experience with content production, for example, moving a document from a draft stage in one tool and formatting and publishing it to a CMS
  • Experience using one or more content management systems (experience using Drupal 9 or newer is a plus)
  • Demonstrated experience integrating AI tools into professional workflows, including building custom AI configurations (such as GPTs or Gems) and connecting LLMs to external platforms
  • A point of view on where AI is taking technical writing, incuding familiarity with AI writing tools and an interest in expanding how AI is used in content workflows
  • Smartsheet Product Certification preferred by not required

Perks & Benefits:
  • Fully paid Health & Life insurance for full-time employees and family members

  • Asociacion Solidarista with employee and employer contributions, as well as potential alliances with entities such as universities, gyms, etc.
