 Are you tired of writing the same stuff day in and day out? Are you looking for an opportunity to write in a variety of content mediums, from social media content to whitepapers? Do you want experience writing in a hot area such as the Internet of Things? Do you want your content to make a measurable impact on sales? Then we may have the perfect job for you.

The "Internet of Things" (IoT) is expected to grow to $19 trillion over the next 10 years as 50 billion devices are brought online.  Aeris is at the forefront of this industry, building networks and applications to enable Fortune 500 clients like Chrysler, Honda and Bosch fundamentally improve their businesses.  Headquartered in Silicon Valley with offices in Chicago, London, Delhi, and Tokyo as well as other markets.  We rank among the top ten cellular providers for the IoT globally, powering critical projects across energy, transportation, retail, healthcare and more.

Our company is in an enviable spot.  We’re profitable, and both our bottom line and our global reach are growing rapidly.  We’re playing in an exploding market where technology evolves daily and acquisitions / consolidations happen left and right.  We’ve got a stellar, strategic management team who find joy in working together and are executing effectively across the board.

 A few things to know about us:

  • We put our customers first. When making decisions, we always seek to do what is right for our customer first, our company second, our teams third, and individual selves last.
  • We do things differently.  As a pioneer in a highly-competitive industry that is poised to reshape every sector of the global economy, we cannot fall back on old models. Rather, we must chart our own path and strive to out-innovate, out-learn, out-maneuver and out-pace the competition on the way.
  • We walk the walk on diversity. We’re a brilliant and eclectic mix of ethnicities, religions, industry experiences, sexual orientations, generations and more – and that’s by design. We see diverse perspectives as a core competitive advantage.
  • Integrity is essential. We believe in doing things well – and doing them right. Integrity is a core value here: you’ll see it embodied in our staff, our management approach and growing social impact work (we have a VP devoted to it).  You’ll also see it embodied in the way we manage people and our HR issues: we expect employees and managers to deal with issues directly, immediately and with the utmost respect for each other and for the Company. 
  • We are owners. Strong managers enable and empower their teams to figure out how to solve problems. You will be no exception, and will have the ownership, accountability and autonomy needed to be truly creative.

We are looking for a talented professional with creative ideas on how to engage target customers using clear and concise language for complex topics.  As a Content Marketer / Strategist for Aeris Communications (www.aeris.com), you will author and edit diverse content for Aeris SMB, Enterprise and Operator solutions.  You will have the opportunity to be heard and impact our company with your ideas for strategy, planning, topics, format, deployment, and more; including playing a key role in shaping our lead generation program.  The ideal candidate will have experience creating persuasive B2B marketing content, including whitepapers, website pages, promotional emails, collateral, blog posts and more; experience writing about M2M, Internet of Things or enterprise mobility solutions is a big plus.
