About Voltera

Voltera empowers educators, researchers, and engineers asking questions about, and building, the technologies of tomorrow — by giving them the tools they need to design, test, develop, and ship products faster than ever before.

Our flagship product, the Voltera V-One, is a desktop circuit board factory that allows educators to introduce the world of printable electronics to young minds, researchers to answer new and old questions, and electronics engineers to cut their prototype time from months to minutes. We’re consistently among the top growing companies in Canada and our machines are used by 2000+ electronics educators, researchers and developers in over 60 countries around the world,

We will soon be releasing a product that will, for the first time, allow for the design of electronics that are flexible, stretchable, biocompatible and much, much more. We’re just getting started, and we’re excited.

As we ramp up bringing new products to market and dreaming newer ones into being, we need all hands on deck. Are you ready to be part of the Voltera revolution?

Job Description - Content Writer

**Department**:Marketing

About the job
- **Planning**:

- You will work with the Marketing Operations Manager to analyze our keywords to identify content gaps. You will stay on top of SEO trends and strategies within content marketing and on-page SEO and teach the rest of the team as you learn.
- **Research**:

- Each article will begin with primary research: interviewing other Volterans about the upcoming topics, watching videos and webinars, and maybe even reading research papers or calling customers (examples).
- **Writing**:

- We’re looking for a teacher; someone who knows the value of explaining through metaphor and who can put themselves in the shoes of someone who doesn’t understand the material, leaving them empowered by the end. You will need to match our personality and style (“have something worth saying” and “write like you talk”).
- **Collaborating**:

- You will work closely with the Marketing team on the many projects we have on the go.
- **Editing**:

- You will review work written by others and coach them on ways to improve. In turn, our technical staff will be reviewing your content for accuracy. Ultimately, it is up to you to strike a balance between accommodating feedback and getting things done.
- **Measuring**:

- You will be expected to measure the effectiveness of our written content and have meaningful conversations about improving it.

About you
- You might not have a background in electronics, materials science, or manufacturing, and that’s totally fine. Our team loves teaching; so as long as you’re hungry to learn, you’re going to thrive.
- We’re not looking for specific degrees or number of years in the workforce. As long as you can demonstrate relevant experience to our goals, we’ll adjust the role and compensation to you. What experience is relevant?
- You have worked at B2B companies that have the personality of a B2C brand
- You have led SEO planning projects
- You have developed distinct approaches for top, middle, and bottom of funnel content
- On a technical level, you have plenty of experience with HubSpot, SEMRush and a solid understanding of web analytics and SEO concepts.
- Finally, you need to be self-sufficient, take ownership, move fast, and find ways around obstacles.

How to apply

**Please send us your resume, writing samples, and an introduction.** Make sure to share why the future of Voltera looks bright because you’d be a part of it, what attracts you to Voltera in the first place, and how you know you can make technical content seem approachable. We’re looking for someone concise and with personality.

Why we’re awesome
- We’re a scaling company - you’re hired to have a voice, not to be a cog.
- Three weeks vacation.
- Flexible work hours.
- Family-friendly work culture.
- Collaborative work environment.
- Centrally located in downtown Kitchener, close to restaurants and pubs, easily accessible by public transit.

Working conditions

This role will be hybrid, with the choice of working between the office and remote once our new space is ready, and you may be asked to come in every once in a while. Flexible work environments are important to us
