CDI Inc., is looking for qualified candidates to fill the role of Technical Writer. This is expected to be 10 month+ project in duration. This would be a W2 position and you would work onsite at client’s location in Mountain View, CA. Please review the project description provided, and let me know if this is something you might be interested in discussing further.

The Content team supports 50+ AdWords launches per quarter and we have a critical need for more writers to keep up with the core workload and support strategic projects. Specifically, to support a critical launch next year, we will need writers to create UI text and help documentation for AdWords.

We also have a goal to optimize 50-80% of our top help articles for in-product and mobile platforms (250-300 articles). Our hypothesis is that content optimized for those platforms will produce a better user experience and encourage users to take more high-value actions within their account. We aim to shift 50% of our Help Center traffic to these platforms by end of year and therefore need to work on preparing our content for that shift over the next 2 quarters. The team creates and publishes customer-focused content to empower users to grow their businesses using our Ads services. We are looking for a skilled writer who can communicate with our small-business advertisers and create clear, friendly UI text and help documentation for new features launching in AdWords.
