Description

MICRO CENTER is the nation’s leading computer and electronics big box retailer, offering more than 40,000 top technology products. For over 45 years, our success has been driven by unmatched expertise, a passion for innovation, and a steadfast commitment to exceptional customer service.

Joining Micro Center means more than working in retail—it’s an opportunity to be at the forefront of fast-growing tech, including edge AI, advanced 3D printing, robotics, and emerging maker solutions shaping the future.

At Micro Center, Passion, Energy, and Commitment aren’t just words—they’re how we work, grow, and win together. We take pride in creating long-term customer relationships and cultivating a workplace where associates are supported, empowered, and valued. Our teams play a hands‑on role in bringing complex and cutting‑edge solutions to life for our customers, making technology approachable and impactful every day.

About the role

Micro Center is hiring a WRITTEN CONTENT SPECIALIST (writer/editor) to help run a fast‑growing tech publication that covers PC hardware, local AI, 3D printing, and maker projects for people who actually build things.

You'll edit and shape stories from a deep bench of veteran freelance contributors, write your own features and explainers, and keep a busy editorial calendar moving from pitch to publish. You'll report to the Editor‑in‑Chief and work closely with Micro Center's video, social, and marketing teams.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who loves both the craft of editing and the guts of a high‑performance PC. If you can tighten a 2,000-word GPU explainer, catch that a spec is wrong, and still make it fun to read, we want to talk.

About Micro Center News: Micro Center has been the go‑to destination for PC builders and tech enthusiasts for more than 45 years. Micro Center News is its editorial arm, publishing buying guides, how‑tos, deep‑dive explainers, and news analysis written by experienced tech journalists. Our readers range from first‑time builders to seasoned tinkerers, and we write for all of them.

What you'll do

Edit and manage freelance contributors

• Line‑edit and fact‑check freelance submissions for accuracy, clarity, structure, and house style
• Help manage a roster of 20+ regular freelancers: assign stories, set deadlines, give feedback, and track deliverables
• Help evaluate pitches and develop story ideas with writers
• Track invoices and keep contributor paperwork moving with accounts payable

Write original content

• Report and write features, buying guides, how‑tos, and explainers on PC hardware, local AI, networking, 3D printing, and maker topics
• Turn product launches and industry news into timely, practical coverage for enthusiasts and newcomers alike
• Test and get hands‑on with hardware when stories call for it
• Review and approve weekly community PC build submissions for our "Build of the Week" feature

Run the calendar and publish

• Help plan and maintain the editorial calendar, including seasonal tentpoles like holiday gift guides, Black Friday, back‑to‑school, and CES
• Build and publish stories in our CMS: headlines, SEO metadata, images, product links, and formatting
• Coordinate with merchandising so coverage reflects what Micro Center actually stocks

Own co‑op and vendor programs

• Serve as primary point of contact for Micro Center News co‑op and vendor‑referral programs, working with brand partners and merchandising
• Keep partner content on schedule and held to our editorial standards

Maintain the archive

• Keep older stories accurate and useful: fix broken links, swap out discontinued products, and refresh evergreen guides, working with the original writers when needed

Work across the brand

• Partner with the video and social teams to turn written stories into scripts, clips, and posts, and vice versa
• Occasional travel to industry events and store openings

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience writing and editing for a tech publication, enthusiast site, or similar digital outlet
• Sharp line‑editing skills and a reliable eye for factual and technical errors
• Real working knowledge of PC hardware: you know what a CPU, GPU, VRAM, and PSU do, and you've probably built a PC or two
• Strong, clear writing, explaining complex tech without jargon or hype
• Experience managing freelancers or juggling multiple contributors and deadlines at once, plus comfort working with brand and vendor partners
• Comfort with a CMS and the basics of SEO/GEO (headlines, metadata, internal linking)
• Organized and self‑directed, with good judgment about what needs escalating and what you can just handle
• A portfolio of published clips that shows both your writing and your editing

Nice to have

• Hands‑on experience running local AI models (Ollama, LM Studio, ComfyUI, or similar)
• 3D printing, electronics, Raspberry Pi, or home networking projects of your own
• Experience with retail, commerce, or affiliate content
• Familiarity with project management tools like Asana or Monday.com
• Existing relationships with PC hardware vendors, PR teams, or freelance tech writers

• Competitive Employee Discount, including our Friends & Family Discount Program
• Tuition Reimbursement and Education Savings Opportunities to support continuous learning
