Job Title: Technical Writer – Risk Communications
WFH Flexible • Creative Services | Full-Time

Position Overview:
Join a dynamic and innovative marketing and communications agency that specializes in creating data-driven, impactful content for highly regulated industries. As a Technical Writer, you will be part of a team that blends creative solutions with advanced analytics, delivering top-tier communications for major clients. In this role, you will represent one of our key financial services clients, focusing on crafting clear, customer-facing content that addresses complex legal, regulatory, and operational issues with precision and brand alignment.

This position is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys the challenge of analyzing risk events, and can produce accurate, engaging communications that meet strict regulatory requirements. If you have a background in financial services, especially in areas like credit cards, and are ready to make an impact, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

What You’ll Do:

  • Develop Risk Communications: Create precise, customer-friendly communications that address risk events, balancing regulatory accuracy with the brand’s voice and personality.
  • Represent a Leading Financial Institution: Work exclusively for one major financial services client, ensuring all communications are aligned with their brand and legal standards.
  • Collaborate and Contribute: Work closely with subject matter experts (SMEs), legal, compliance, business teams, and the creative department to gather inputs, identify key messaging elements, and draft on-brand, legally accurate content.
  • Research and Analyze: Conduct research to align your messaging with previous risk events and established regulations, ensuring consistency and compliance while reducing unnecessary uniqueness.
  • Advocate for Quality: Present well-reasoned recommendations to business and legal partners, influencing the acceptance of high-quality, compliant communications.
  • Manage Projects: Organize your workload efficiently, meet tight deadlines, and adapt quickly to changing priorities. You’ll be transitioning to a streamlined workfront model, allowing you to focus more on writing and less on process management.
  • Stay Updated: Keep abreast of marketing trends and innovations, integrating new ideas into your writing to maintain relevance and impact.
  • Ensure Customer Impact: Your writing will directly influence customer perceptions during risk events, making your role crucial in maintaining trust and transparency.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experience: At least 3 years of experience in technical writing, customer service writing, or informational writing, with a strong preference for candidates with a background in financial services or credit cards.
  • Exceptional Writing Skills: Ability to create concise, engaging content that simplifies complex topics while adhering to brand voice and regulatory requirements.
  • Analytical Mindset: Strong analytical skills to assess risk events, ask the right questions, and produce accurate, on-point communications.
  • Collaborative Spirit: Experience working in cross-functional teams, with strong communication skills to present ideas effectively and collaborate with various departments.
  • Attention to Detail: High level of precision in writing, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet tight deadlines.
  • Adaptability and Urgency: Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment, with a strong sense of urgency to respond quickly to risk events.

Why You Should Apply:

  • WFH Flexibility: Enjoy the flexibility to work from home while being part of a supportive and collaborative team at a mid-sized agency that values creativity and innovation.
  • Work with a Leading Financial Institution: Represent a major financial services client, contributing directly to their communication strategies and customer experience.
  • Professional Growth: We offer opportunities for advancement within the company, with a strong emphasis on employee satisfaction and career development.
  • Competitive Salary: Earn between $69,500 – $76,500 annually, with adjustments based on location and a strong benefits package to support your well-being.
  • Company Culture: Join a team that values collaboration, continuous improvement, and creating a positive work environment. Our annual company events provide opportunities to connect and grow with your colleagues.

What Success Looks Like: In the first 90 days, you’ll focus on getting up to speed with our client’s brand voice, understanding our processes, and learning where all the necessary assets and resources are located. Success in this role means being able to independently draft risk communications that are legally accurate, customer-friendly, and aligned with our client’s brand voice.
