Content Writer, Technology Storytelling

We are seeking a long-form Content Writer for a part-time freelance/contract opportunity supporting a highly visible technology-focused organization. Project work would be 10-15 hours a month. 

This role is ideal for a writer who is curious about emerging technology, comfortable interviewing engineers and technical subject matter experts, and skilled at translating complex ideas into clear, compelling long-form content.

The work will focus on timely topics across AI, cybersecurity, enterprise technology and emerging computing. The right candidate will be able to quickly understand technical subject matter, identify the broader story and communicate why it matters to executive and professional audiences.

This is not traditional technical writing or documentation. We are looking for a strong storyteller who can make sophisticated technology accessible, relevant and engaging.
