Ragan Communications seeks a Writer with content marketing and reporting experience to write smart, service-driven content that educates professional audiences and drives engagement, registrations and long-term brand value.

We’re an award-winning media company focused on the communications/PR market and with a service-based mission. The ideal candidate will be someone who values business journalism, team collaboration and innovation.

Our content, conferences, research and sponsored programs are all fueled by strong storytelling, thoughtful reporting and strategic content marketing. This role blends editorial rigor with marketing instincts — creating content that informs, attracts and converts audiences across articles, events, research and sponsored campaigns.

• Develop sponsored content such as white papers, long-form articles, tip sheets and thought leadership assets.
• Build strong relationships with sources across agencies, brands and the communications industry to support both editorial and marketing initiatives.
• Participate in live Ragan conferences and events several times a year.

Skills:

• Strong interviewing and reporting skills paired with a clear understanding of content marketing strategy.
• Ability to translate complex ideas into compelling, audience-first content that supports business goals.
• Crisp, engaging writing with a friendly, authoritative tone.
• Comfort working cross-functionally with editorial, events and sales teams.
• Strong communication skills in a remote work environment.
• Curiosity and a growth mindset.
• Willingness to experiment with new content formats, distribution strategies and promotional approaches.
• A data-driven mindset, including experience with Google Analytics or similar tools.

Location:

• Fully remote, with a preference for candidates near major PR or communications hubs to support sourcing.
• Travel required approximately five times per year for events and team‑building activities.

Experience:

• At least 5years of experience in reporting, content marketing and/or communications.
• At least two years of experience in B2B trade media or a comparable professional audience environment.
