Technical Storyteller
(Writer and Interviewer)
Elite Editing is seeking a seasoned interviewer and writer to craft customer-centric, technology-focused marketing materials for our Fortune 500 tech clients. Technical Storytellers work with our clients’ customers via live interviews to create case studies, blog posts, and social media copy. This is a contract role and we have an immediate need for interviewers in EMEA and APAC time zones (Singapore, Malaysia, Europe and Australia) but will consider others for additional opportunities.
Responsibilities of a storyteller
- Research technical topics and industries to prepare for interviews and writing.
- Meet with clients virtually to discuss how best to convey their intended message.
- Lead interviews and meetings with customer stakeholders to learn the details of their story.
- Create a story outline based on the customer interview.
- Write engaging, on-brand case studies and blog posts in line with a client-specific style guide.

You’ll be at the top of our list if you have…
- Relevant experience in tech or IT-related writing and/or journalism.
- Experience interviewing and building rapport with subject matter experts and thought leaders.
- Experience writing customer stories, case studies, or thought leadership pieces.
- Prior agency experience and understanding of agency/client relationships; you won’t be coordinating or managing content approvals, but familiarity with that process is valuable.
Time commitment
- Available up to 30 hours a week (or more!) for interviewing and writing.
- Available for interviews in non US time zones, with high need for interviews in Singapore, Malaysia, Europe and Australia.
- Available to respond to work offers within 24 hours.
