Future Plus, a division of Future US (www.futureus.com), is seeking an experienced technology writer to create online, consumer-facing marketing content covering BlackBerry smartphone hardware and software. Applicants should be well versed in BlackBerry technology and be able to work with minimal oversight. Ideally, applicants will have knowledge of and experience working with BlackBerry back-end hardware (BlackBerry Enterprise Server, Mobile Voice System) and/or end-user applications.

This is a full time three-month contract position with the possibility of extending past the initial contract period. The position requires the writer to work on-site; there is also the possibility of occasional travel to cover assigned stories.

As a fully-integrated media company, Future Plus produces marketing and consumer-oriented materials across a variety of media formats, ranging from magazines and catalogs to DVDs and Web sites for some of the world’s biggest brands. Although we don’t expect candidates to have experience in every media type, we are nevertheless looking for writers who can show us superlative examples of their work across at least two consumer, advertising or marketing-oriented media types.

Responsibilities:
1. Quality control. The writer ensures that all current titles he or she works on are produced to the highest quality and meet the client’s requirements.
2. Development: Work with editorial team members and the Editor in Chief to ensure cutting edge quality and client satisfaction.

Working Practices:
1. Create copy that delivers on—and regularly exceeds—customer as well as client satisfaction, and is delivered before deadline.
2. Work with the Art Director/Designers to help them understand your copy and what it is doing so that they can create a page that helps bring your vision to full potential. Help specify photography or screenshots that will ensure a high-quality visual experience is created.
