Journalist in Residence
Writer And Editor Job 15 miles from San Jose
Instrumental technology is used by the world's most admired electronics brands like Bose, Cisco, and SolarEdge to significantly reduce the 20 cents of waste in every dollar spent on manufacturing. Our technology leverages AI from data coming off of the manufacturing floor to automate failure identification and resolution - improving yield, quality, and time to market.
AI will transform manufacturing-the question is when and who. Part of Instrumental's marketing strategy has been to build the premier knowledge brand in the market: Build Better. The Build Better brand includes a handbook, print magazine, newsletter, webinars, and live events. The topics and content are timely and authentic - agitating the pain of our customers while recognizing and profiling leaders in our space. Most of the content comes from me (our CEO) - which keeps it authentic and on the pulse, but is not scaleable.
Instrumental is looking to hire a “Journalist in Residence” to scale our Build Better efforts - to create and pitch ideas, trendjack timely topics, develop sources to interview or engage with in events, and to produce high-quality journalistic content in written and other formats. You'll work closely with our marketing team, internal subject matter experts, and C-Suite to drive organic audience growth and make Build Better the 100 lb gorilla in the electronics manufacturing knowledge-sphere.
What You'll Be Doing:
Pitch the “right” ideas and be agile. You have your finger on the pulse of the electronics manufacturing zeitgeist. You know what VPs of engineering and operations are thinking about right at this moment and can devise compelling and authentic content ideas to agitate their pain points.
Make a plan; be agile. You can lay out a compelling content plan and execute against it - but you can also turn on a dime to get Build Better's story out first when there's a development that impacts our users and customer personas. You can come up with creative ideas to trend-jack that delight and engage our audiences.
Develop sources and tap them for stories, interviews, and information. While you'll be able to tap into the company's strong network, you will build your own network of sources to leverage in creating content - either on background or in direct interviews.
Write compelling stories and articles that are knowledge-first for print, web, and other media. This is
not
a content marketing role; we're writing knowledge content for a technical audience who can sniff out BS from a mile away. The strategy is to be the go-to place for information no one else covers journalistically, and only mention Instrumental technology where it's on the nose. You'll set a new standard for clarity, meatiness, and storytelling in our content. This is
not
a ghost-writing or executive communications position.
We're Looking for Someone Who:
We believe qualified candidates from this role might never have held a position with a title anywhere near this one (because I literally made it up) - or have never considered working outside of a large media publisher. Here's what I think it will take:
Fluency in the electronics manufacturing industry. Our core personas are VPs of engineering and operations, mechanical engineers, process engineers. We focus on high-volume electronics (consumer and B2B), networking and data centers, and defense. This is non-negotiable.
Ability to write high-quality, direct prose that our personas find credible.
Proven ability to build or work your network to find sources when one doesn't readily present itself.
Has a knack for identifying story ideas that will resonate in the zeitgeist. Asks great questions.
Bonus: You are an engineer by training, have former professional experience covering electronics supply chain as a journalist, or have been a founder in the hardware space.
This role is unique because we would consider a broad range of seniority. The following is a representative annual base salary range for the mid-level within the Bay Area: $120,000 - 145,000. Job level and salary opportunities are evaluated through our interview process-we review each applicant's experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities.
Instrumental is proud to offer a highly-rated variety of benefits, including health, vision, dental, commuter plans, and parental leave.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.
Notion is an in-person company. We currently require employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and request that employees spend the majority of their week in the office (including a third day).
About The Role
You'll be establishing a new practice, at a special and beloved brand, which deeply values craft. This is an opportunity to do the best work of your life for a business and team that want it. Imagine yourself in the 1970s or 80s thinking through how computing should look and feel for people who had never seen one before. That's what we're trying to do at Notion - make software that feels timeless, with the craftsmanship of German cameras, playfulness of Japanese toys, and mass appeal of Coca-Cola. We have no end of fascinating challenges that can only be solved by someone with innate product & UX sense, technical aptitude, great taste, and impeccable craft. You'll be a key member of the strong, influential, and growing Design team. You'll collaborate with and educate nearly every designer, current and future, at Notion.
You'll report directly to our Head of Design.
What You'll Achieve:
Clear, consistent, and high-quality language across all Notion products.
Establish the practice of UX Writing both through your own actions and contributions, as well as sharing and spreading those around the company.
Directly contributing to new product designs with your own writing and guidance to designers.
Auditing, proposing, and making recommendations to improve existing products.
Document and maintain the norms and standards for UX writing across the company and product.
A thriving UX Writing practice and team.
Skills You'll Need to Bring:
This isn't your first rodeo. We are looking for at least 6+ years of experience as a UX writer.
First and foremost, you are an incredibly skillful writer with a command of the English language in both consumer and technical contexts.
You design with words and collaborate deeply and easily with product designers as peers.
You're an experienced manager and practitioner. You bring a love for craft to both. You'd be happy and fulfilled doing either.
You are a systems thinker, who has been able to bring clarity to complex products.
You have sensitivity and awareness of brand voice, neutral voices, product marketing, and product design. You enjoy collaborating with cross functional partners and often initiate the collaboration.
You have strong beliefs, loosely held. You're a good listener who collaborates well with different stakeholders. You observe and internalize all inputs and feedback to help you reach a decision.
You understand that momentum drives progress.
You value working cross-functionally with project management, engineering, research and data - in addition to your design peers.
Nice to Haves:
Multi-lingual - You can read and write with professional proficiency in multiple languages (Japanese, Korean, Spanish, etc.)
Builder spirit - You build out of interest and passion, and have launched projects on the web
Visual design skills - You complement your language with visual communication
We hire talented and passionate people from a variety of backgrounds because we want our global employee base to represent the wide diversity of our customers. If you're excited about a role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every bullet point listed in the job description, we still encourage you to apply. If you're a builder at heart, share our company values, and enthusiastic about making software toolmaking ubiquitous, we want to hear from you.
Notion is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate in hiring or any employment decision based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, genetic information, veteran status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or other applicable legally protected characteristic. Notion considers qualified applicants with criminal histories, consistent with applicable federal, state and local law. Notion is also committed to providing reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans in our job application procedures.
