About the role

  • Research and write long-form content including Guides, blog posts, white papers, reports, briefs, webpages, and voice-over scripts
  • Create short-form content including webinar abstracts, emails, social posts, text for graphics, event banners, and paid ads
  • Write across styles and audiences: Informational, social, web, executive, and casual
  • Translate complex or technical topics into clear, approachable copy—without losing accuracy
  • Deliver copy that’s easy for downstream partners (designers, developers) to implement correctly
  • Work within compliance requirements and feedback cycles while maintaining voice and intent
  • Execute against defined content briefs and priorities provided by Smarsh teams
  • Edit for clarity, consistency, and flow while preserving meaning

  • Proofread and perform final QA on designed assets (graphics, emails, banners, landing pages) to ensure copy accuracy
  • Ensure content aligns with brand voice, style guidelines, and compliance expectations
  • Spot ways to strengthen campaigns/projects with high-impact supporting content (e.g., companion blog posts, landing page enhancements, email follow-ups, social cutdowns)
  • Recommend innovative reuse opportunities (turn one strong asset into multiple channel-ready versions)
  • Flag content that’s duplicative, unnecessary, or unlikely to perform—suggest simpler alternatives when appropriate
  • Support editorial planning and brainstorming with internal team
