Technical Writer

Are you energetic? Talented? Motivated? Compelled to write?

Can you take detailed, complex and/or "dry" concepts and make them understandable and exciting for your audience? (Can you explain nuclear fission to an 8-year-old?)

If so, and you're looking to flex your writing muscles and launch your career with a fun, successful organization (that's growing in the midst of a recession), then we want to talk to you.

Responsibilities:


Reporting to our Director of Education Marketing, you'll create and update easy-to-understand help resources like:
  • Tutorials and FAQs in our extensive web-based Knowledge Base.
  • Downloadable manuals, user guides and other similar documentation.
  • Other content creation tasks that we assign and/or that you come up with.

Qualifications:

Writing Skills:

You need strong general and technical writing skills. In other words, you:
  • Write adeptly for an English-speaking audience - know and use appropriate words and phrases.
  • Master grammar and spelling; you punctuate content properly to get points across effectively.
  • Create pieces that don't sound like they were written by a systems engineer in sub-basement B. You write accurately and with authority, but also in a conversational tone that people actually enjoy reading.

You should also communicate effectively to a web audience...

  • You should appropriately combine headline, sub-headlines and body copy to communicate, and draw out key points effectively through use of web-based writing conventions (bullets, blockquotes, etc).
  • You're familar with linking and how to do so appropriately to resources relevant to your pieces.
  • You should be familiar with SEO; you can work keywords and phrases into headlines and body copy at appropriate locations and frequency.

... and possess excellent technical aptitude:

  • As a knowledge worker in a technically advanced organization, you will use a number of common web-based and software-based tools frequently to work and collaborate with other team members. You are expected to be a productive/"power" user of them.

    Examples include (but are not limited to): email software, blogging software, instant messaging software, Office suite, wiki applications, calendar applications.

  • Numerous computer- and Internet-related technologies, tools and concepts relate directly and/or indirectly to the business of AWeber and our customers.

    While you do not have to be an expert in these areas (example: we're not hiring you to be a web designer and don't expect you to know as much HTML/CSS as one), you should at the very least be comfortable with them to the point that your knowledge informs the work you produce and assists rather than impedes your productivity.

    Examples include (but are not limited to): email marketing, HTML, CSS, RSS, social media tools (notably Twitter, Facebook, blogs and discussion forums), organic and paid traffic generation.

Benefits:

  • Company paid PPO medical, dental, and vision health insurance.
  • 3 weeks paid time off.
  • Paid holidays.
  • 401K retirement benefits with company match and profit sharing.
  • Free daily catered lunches, soda, juice, and coffee.
  • Tuition reimbursement.
  • Apple workstations running OSX.
  • Wii and Xbox 360 high definition theatre projection game room.
  • Recognized in 2009 as one of the best places to work in PA.

How to Apply:

Please email with the subject "Technical Writer" a cover letter describing why you feel this is the position for you, salary requirements, portfolio examples, and PDF resume. Please include your website URL, Twitter ID, or any other web work so we can get a feel for what you're all about. Director of Education Marketing, Justin Premick, will be reviewing your application and contacting qualified applicants for further interview. (No recruiters please)
