This is a remote, full-time position open to candidates across Canada.
 
JOB DESCRIPTION
Brafton Content Writers are dedicated to producing strong, creative pieces that are incorporated into content marketing campaigns for clients. Client experience is paramount for us, meaning you are expected to communicate directly with them. Viable candidates must handle white papers, case studies, landing pages, infographic outlines, video blog scripts and long-form articles based on an approved brief.
 
The majority of our clients are B2B and their industries span technology, health, finance, business, education and marketing. Writing and researching confidently, and on deadline, in these spaces is a must. If you are interested in joining a company on the forefront of innovation and creativity in the content marketing industry, please apply immediately.

Research, create and deliver high-quality content to clients according to specified deadlines
Edit the work of peers using Brafton's editing marks and processes
Work with account management to ensure that clients' goals are achieved
Virtually attend project, client and team meetings
Track writing and editing production work on a daily basis in our in-house project management system

This is a 100% remote working role, so location is not important. Your immediate supervisor would be based out of our Boston Office in the US, however you'll be able to operate day to day in your local time zone. As such you must be setup to operate effectively from your own work-space and be comfortable with pure remote / home-based working. Brafton's core business is heavily remote focused - and was so well before the COVID-19 pandemic; as such the business is extremely agile and well adapted to such working practices.

Annual base salary listed in CAD, plus commission.
Benefits Include: Commission, Health Savings Account, pension, paid vacation, flexible remote schedule, and more!
