Spanish-Language Storyteller
Tech Writer and Interviewer
Elite Editing is seeking bilingual Spanish speakers! The ideal candidate is a seasoned bilingual freelance marketing strategist and writer able to conduct Spanish-language interviews for the creation of customer-centric, business-focused customer evidence case studies, blogs, and marketing materials for our Fortune 500 business, technology, and thought leadership clients. Our interviewers engage with our Spanish-speaking clients to determine a messaging strategy and uncover key story points. They then lead a virtual interview with the client’s Spanish-speaking customers to capture their story, seeking specific information, metrics, and quotable statements from C-suite and director-level stakeholders. With the support of editorial staff, the storyteller will then weave key client messaging into a unique customer success story or blog, written in Spanish, providing a public-facing final product that is valuable to both our clients and their stakeholders.
Responsibilities:
- Research business trends, technical solutions, and industry-specific challenges in preparation for conversations with stakeholders.
- Track and record all story elements, research, and discoveries.
- Lead meetings in fluent Spanish with client stakeholders to discuss and determine relevant ways to convey the client’s intended messaging and accomplish the goals for the story or blog.
- Conduct conversational Spanish interviews with customer stakeholders to capture their story and uncover story details relevant to the customer experience.
- Craft a story strategy using client marketing and messaging guidelines and information from customer interviews.
- Create a strategic brief based on the client’s messaging and the information from the customer interview that will be utilized by the editorial and production team throughout the engagement.
- Write engaging, on-brand case studies and blog posts in Spanish, aligning with a client-specific style guide.
- Collaborate with English-speaking internal teams to follow and improve relevant processes.
