Crawford Group is hiring: Sr. Content Writer in Santa Clara

Crawford Group (www.crawfordgroup.com) is seeking a Senior Content Writer with a strong journalistic foundation and deep experience translating complex technical concepts into clear, compelling stories across a variety of content formats.

Content assignments are project-based and typically include a set number of deliverables per quarter, depending on scope and priorities.
