Temporary Voice Writer information

What is a temporary voice writer?

Temporary Voice Writers are professionals hired on a short-term basis to transcribe spoken words into written text using specialized voice writing equipment and software. They listen to live or recorded audio and repeat the words verbatim into a speech recognition system, creating an accurate and real-time transcript. These roles are often used in legal, medical, or broadcast settings, and may be needed to cover staff shortages, special projects, or peak periods. Temporary Voice Writers must have excellent listening and speaking skills, as well as familiarity with transcription technology.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a temporary voice writer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Temporary Voice Writer, you need excellent listening ability, clear speech, and strong command of language, often supported by relevant training or a background in transcription or court reporting. Proficiency with voice recognition software, stenography systems, and digital recording tools is typically required. Outstanding attention to detail, adaptability, and the ability to work under tight deadlines are crucial soft skills. These competencies ensure accurate, real-time transcription and reliable service in settings where precision and speed are critical.

What are some common challenges temporary voice writers face when adapting to different dictation styles and subject matter?

As a Temporary Voice Writer, you may encounter a wide variety of speakers, accents, and specialized topics, which can make accurate real-time transcription challenging. Adapting quickly to new subject matter and unfamiliar terminology is crucial, as assignments often change on short notice. Developing strong listening skills and the ability to research terminology efficiently will help you maintain accuracy and meet tight deadlines, even in fast-paced or high-pressure environments.

Senior Brand Writer (Temp-to-Hire)

Armada

San Francisco, CA

$55 - $68/hr

Full-time, Temporary

Re-posted 12 days ago

Job description

About the Role  

Armada is looking for a Senior Brand Writer to shape how the company sounds across every surface where words matter. Reporting to the Head of Communications, this is a craft role for someone who can write a five-word headline that lands, then turn around and write a thousand words of balanced, on-brand product copy. You will own the voice of the brand and partner closely with creative, product, and executive leadership to bring it to life. 

The ideal candidate echoes Armada's quiet confidence. Restraint over flourish. Specificity over abstraction. A point of view that doesn't need to raise its voice.  
You understand intuitively what separates real writing from AI-generated content.  

This role is a true generalist. You can quickly pivot from web copy for a new product launch to a social post. You will go deep on our products, learn the technical substance, and translate it into words that customers, partners, and prospects want to stop and read.

Above all, you know how to find the human story inside a complex product. Our customers are people solving hard problems in hard places, and their pain points are what bring our products to life on the page.  

Please note that this role is a temp-to-hire position. Strong performers will be considered for full-time placement at the end of the contract period. This role is eligible for overtime.

Location: This role is office-based in our Bellevue, WA or San Francisco, CA locations, or remote in Los Angeles, CA.

What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities) 

  • Write razor-sharp headlines, taglines, and brand-level copy that define how Armada shows up in the world 
  • Develop long-form product narratives, web copy, and marketing collateral that translate complex edge computing and AI infrastructure into clear, compelling stories 
  • Shape the narrative of sales and investor decks 
  • Draft press releases, executive communications, and other earned media materials in support of Armada's communications strategy 
  • Support social channels with original writing that maintains brand voice across formats 
  • Collaborate with designers, product managers, and engineers to ensure copy and design are developed in lockstep, not as separate handoffs 
  • Develop and maintain Armada's brand identity, and help others across the company write in our voice 

Required Qualifications

  • 8+ years of copy writing experience in brand, marketing, editorial, or agency settings 
  • Exceptional portfolio demonstrating range across headlines, long-form product copy, decks, and editorial writing 
  • Sharp instinct for what to cut. You know when one word does the work of five 
  • A clear point of view on what good writing is, paired with the humility to take feedback and make it better 
  • An excellent listener who can absorb raw input from stakeholders and shape it into a story with a clear through-line 
  • Range. You can shift registers when the brand or the moment calls for it. A product launch, a recruiting page, and a field deployment story should all read differently 
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple writing projects simultaneously 


Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in journalism, communications, or a related field 
  • Experience on both sides of the table: time spent at an advertising or branding agency, paired with in-house work at a technology company 
  • Experience writing for technical or deep-tech companies (infrastructure, defense, hardware, AI) 
  • Experience collaborating directly with executives on speeches, op-eds, or thought leadership 
  • Familiarity with using AI tools as a drafting and research aid, while maintaining a clear line between machine output and finished writing 

Compensation & Benefits

For U.S. Based candidates: To ensure fairness and transparency, the starting base salary range for this role for candidates in the U.S. are listed, varying based on location experience, skills, and qualifications.

We use a geographic pay structure based on cost-of-labor markets. 

  • Tier 1 (e.g., SF Bay Area, NYC, Seattle): $63 - $79 hourly
  • Tier 2 (most U.S. metro areas): $55 - $68 hourly
  • Tier 3 (other cities): $52- $65 hourly
