Wanted: Freelance Technical Writer and Trainer with a heart of gold

Vacancy expired!

Do you wish you had a job that gave you the stability, autonomy, variety, and challenges that you're seeking?

Do you wish you worked for a company that felt like a family, worked like a team, and had a good time together like friends?

We're dedicated to your personal and professional growth

Engagency is much more than a place to work, it's a place to learn, to lead, and to grow. We've created a place where you're encouraged to explore and develop your skills and interests, both personally and professionally. While we do a lot to nurture and nourish our team, the greatest benefit of joining our team is the balance of autonomy and support that each individual receives. You'll work independently with the support of a highly collaborative team on projects with high visibility for brands with a global reach.

Good Character = Good Culture

At Engagency, good culture is the natural result of attracting good people. We believe that creating a good company culture is more about what you give, than what you get. We've created a culture that is friendly, collaborative, and down to earth. We've created an environment where doing excellent work, intrinsic motivation, and going above and beyond is the norm- but we still don't take ourselves too seriously.

We've created a culture that is dedicated to caring for each other, and always doing what's right for our customers and putting their needs first. We like to work hard, and we like to relax and have interesting conversations over lunch together. A few times a year we like to celebrate all of our hard work and success, with some really fun and memorable team activities. We've created a place that we all look forward to coming to in the morning.

Call us idealists, but we don't think it's too much to ask...

We're looking for a hard working technical writer and trainer with a curious mind and servant's heart.
