About this role

Brafton is one of the world's leading content marketing firms, with offices in Boston, London, Toronto and Sydney. We create result-focused strategies and content to drive SEO, social engagement and leads for our clients. Our teams continuously build expertise across new media formats, including video, blogs, infographics and web design.

Brafton Content Writers are dedicated to producing strong, creative pieces that are incorporated into content marketing campaigns for clients. You will handle white papers, case studies, landing pages, infographic outlines, video blog scripts and long-form articles based on an approved brief. Client experience is paramount, meaning you are expected to communicate directly with them.

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. You will work with account management to ensure that clients' goals are achieved and collaborate with other departments such as sales, social media, video and design.

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. Brafton's core business is heavily remote focused and was so well before the COVID-19 pandemic, making the business extremely agile and well adapted to such working practices.
