Remote Copywriter: Popular Science (Futurism/Manufacturing/Innovation/Industrialization)

The world moves at a pace that keeps getting faster and faster — every day there seem to be breakthroughs in science and new developments in manufacturing and industrialization. At WebFX, we're looking for a talented, research-minded writer who's excited to explore the worlds of popular science, innovation and manufacturing. Someone who's passionate about covering everything from metal fabrication to industrial automation using artificial intelligence, from sanitation/hygiene tests to material handling products, and from air compressors to electronics manufacturing.

We want you to be driven by a love for knowledge in the innovation, manufacturing and futurism spaces and have a knack for asking the right questions to fuel your research. Whatever the topic, you are experienced in reading and parsing professional/academic research, authoritative sources and data sets. In your writing, you know how to translate that information into copy that's user-friendly and in line with a client's specific voice and style.

We're looking for someone who's excited by the idea of diving deep into topics in this industry and helping drive results with the copy you write. If this sounds like you, get in touch!
