Senior Content Writer Jobs

Altis Recruitment & Technology Inc. is looking for a data-driven wordsmith with flair. Someone with serious writing chops who has a journalist’s eye for developing trending topics combined with a marketer’s mind for boosting audience engagement. The ideal person comes to the table with fresh ideas and the skills to bring them to life with both panache and precision. If you find the overarching topic of the future of work fascinating, have experience in editorial and marketing writing and possess a varied portfolio of published work—from well-researched editorial pieces to snappy sales and marketing content—this could be your ideal role.

The Senior Writer will join a collaborative marketing team in a pivotal seat: you will create engaging, original copy for a range of channels—everything from long-form, editorial blog posts and SEO-driven web copy to engaging email copy and sales collateral. You will also help develop well-crafted content on behalf of senior leaders across the organization, surfacing timely topics that align with our core lines of business (e.g., IT, construction, healthcare, public service, etc.) and writing a fresh take that is tailored to our audience of employers and job-seekers.

You’re a strong, detail-oriented writer and editor, with in-depth knowledge of grammar, punctuation and CP Style. You’re naturally curious and a voracious reader, constantly consuming the latest news, industry insights and thought leadership, and then using sound business judgment to develop and publish compelling content across digital channels to engage target audiences.

You have a proven ability to research and fact-check and enjoy collaborating with colleagues to gather data and insights. You’re also passionate about positioning – always looking for ways to promote and differentiate our organization.

As a remote-by-choice organization, Altis offers remote work opportunities and private on-site offices, continued learning and development, a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package. Please note that this is a full-time role - we are not looking for freelance support.
