Job description

Brafton is one of the world’s leading content marketing firms, with offices in Boston, London, Toronto and Sydney. We aspire to continually raise the bar on what people consider “marketing content.” 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.

This is a remote, full-time position open to candidates in Eastern and Atlantic Time Zone 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.

ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS

• 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
• Brainstorm and provide topics for clients monthly based on their creative brief and/or industry
• Communicate directly with clients

SKILLS & REQUIREMENTS

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.

Compensation

Annual base salary listed in CAD, plus commission.
