POSITION SUMMARY

At Velocity Global, we’re making opportunity borderless for people everywhere by transforming how companies employ globally. We’re looking for an experienced writer who’s passionate about telling customer and product stories to help us build our rapidly growing content library. You’ll inform and inspire audiences on all the possibilities of building a distributed workforce and make it easy for them to understand all the ins and outs of employing a global workforce.

As our Senior Content Writer, you should be a seasoned storyteller with strong product marketing knowledge—someone who can distill key narratives from complex concepts to create impactful, thought-provoking content. To be successful, you’ll need to hit the ground running, quickly understand what we do, and navigate ambiguity and cross-functional approvals and workflows.

The Senior Content Writer will work closely with the copywriters and editors on the Creative Team to ensure all assets are accurate, on-brand, and engaging for both internal and external audiences. As a lead writer on the team, you should be comfortable collaborating closely with senior stakeholders and managing your own workflows and approvals when needed. 

If you’re a strategic thinker, curious learner, and agile writer who is passionate about telling compelling stories from transformative businesses, we want to hear from you!
