Job description

We're a nimble, Durham-based software company looking for a contractor who can blog for us and take our content game to the next level. Not vaporware blog posts filled with fluff, but real, deep dives on the ins and outs of enterprise-level cybersecurity solutions. This position is perfect for the tech-savvy writer who also has a knack for translating complex jargon into something readable. Think about a post that'll actually help someone struggling with multi-factor authentication set up! That's what we're after.

Core Objectives: Making Cyber Easy

  • Produce weekly content: You'll need to create roughly 2-3 engaging, authoritative articles per week related to cybersecurity, cloud computing, and network infrastructure for publication on our corporate blog.
  • Distill tech-heavy ideas: We expect you to take extremely complex technical ideas and boil them down to simple, engaging takeaways suitable for non-technical business leaders.
  • Amp up that organic traction: Execute SEO strategy, identifying keywords and topics for blog posts that drive targeted traffic, enhance brand authority, and generate qualified leads from the Durham area and beyond.
  • Become a community player: Be open to interacting with other leaders in our field, cross-linking with their sites, and incorporating community-focused narratives into our posts.

You're probably our type if:

  • You're a true digital content strategist with a clear understanding of organic growth and user acquisition tactics.
  • Your professional trajectory displays significant success building audiences for B2B companies through blogging.
  • You have a high level of technical fluency with cybersecurity topics such as network security, data encryption, and endpoint protection, etc.
  • You feel confident taking ownership of key performance indicators (KPIs), such as keyword rankings, bounce rates, conversion volume, and time-on-page metrics.

A background that gets our attention:

  • A formal learning foundation in journalism, communications, information technology, or a closely related area.
  • At least three years showing real-world expertise writing and managing high-visibility blogs for cybersecurity companies.
  • Proven abilities performing rigorous keyword research to guide editorial decision-making.
  • A mastery level awareness of all modern best practices related to SEO, content strategy, and conversion rate optimization.

Agency Life Perks – Here’s what makes us, us!

  • Durham Focused: Yes, we're a Durham, NC shop, and we like to work with local businesses.
  • Flex-First Workplace: A relaxed environment where great work can happen from anywhere. We encourage remote and hybrid opportunities to promote work/life balance.
  • Competitive Compensation: Top-tier salaries commensurate with experience. We appreciate top talent!
  • Training Funds: Personal training is valued. Your growth is a team win! (Think courses at NCCU).
  • Uncapped Bonus Plan: Generous commissions and performance-based bonuses for outstanding achievement, innovation, and leadership.
  • Health/Dental/Vision Insurance: Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits packages including prescription drug coverage and mental wellness.
  • Generous Vacation & Holiday Policy: You'll receive ample PTO and paid holidays to spend time with family and friends.
  • 401(k) Retirement Plan: We help secure your financial future through our retirement plan with company match.
