What You'll Do

We live in a golden age where new advancements in technology — specifically related to the cloud and Software as a Service (SaaS) — are practically an everyday occurrence, and more and more companies are embracing that digital transformation. At WebFX, we're looking for a talented, research-minded writer who's excited to explore the worlds of technology and SaaS. Someone who's passionate about covering everything from data analytics to the latest and greatest in artificial intelligence, from cybersecurity best practices to using cloud technology to send faxes, from IT infrastructure to wearable technology.

We want you to be driven by a love for knowledge in the technology, cloud and SaaS spaces and have a knack for asking the right questions to fuel your research. Whatever the topic, you are experienced in reading and parsing professional/academic research, authoritative sources and data sets. In your writing, you know how to translate that information into copy that's user-friendly and in line with a client's specific voice and style.

We're looking for someone who's excited by the idea of diving deep into topics in this industry and helping drive results with the copy you write. If this sounds like you, get in touch!
