Content Writer

Codal, Chicago, IL, United States

Salary min: $95,000.00

Salary max: $130,000.00


An Introduction to Codal

Codal is an award-winning web design and development consultancy that helps enterprise organizations solve complex problems and accelerate growth through elegant, data-driven digital solutions. Our areas of expertise include application modernization, eCommerce, UX/UI design, product strategy, data analytics, and artificial intelligence.

At Codal, you will collaborate with some of the most innovative organizations in the world and work on cutting-edge technologies that push the boundaries of design and software development. We promote long-term success, not just for our clients but for our team, helping you develop a professional roadmap that takes your career to new heights.

We're looking for a driven, enterprise-calibre Technical Content Writer to own the voice of Codal across digital and editorial channels. You will be a cornerstone of our content engine shaping how Codal communicates its expertise in complex, regulated industries to sophisticated enterprise buyers.

This is not a role for someone who relies on AI to write. We want a writer who thinks deeply, crafts precisely, and produces content that earns trust with technical and executive audiences alike. You'll work closely with our Global Head of Marketing and internal subject-matter experts to develop a content strategy grounded in genuine expertise and clear market positioning.
What you'll own

Website and digital content
Write and own key industry pages and solutions pages across the Codal website
Develop copy that clearly articulates Codal's point of difference in a competitive market
Work with the Global Head of Marketing to ensure website content reflects our positioning and service lines
Thought leadership and editorial

Produce authoritative blog articles in collaboration with internal SMEs across engineering, design and strategy
Write and distribute press releases that reinforce Codal's market position and announcements
Develop and execute a content strategy alongside the Global Head of Marketing, contributing ideas, flagging what's resonating, and shaping the editorial calendar
Case studies

Lead end-to-end case study production from stakeholder brief and client interview through to published asset
Design and implement a scalable case study process to accelerate output and reduce time from project completion to publication
Work cross-functionally with delivery, sales and design to source stories, gather approvals and get case studies out faster
Brand and positioning

Communicate Codal's point of difference clearly and consistently across all content formats
Maintain a consistent enterprise tone of voice across all channels and asset types
Contribute to how the team plans and prioritises content, not just what gets executed
Data and performance

Track and report on content performance across key channels: organic traffic, engagement, lead attribution and pipeline influence
Use data to inform content decisions: identify what's working, what isn't, and where to focus effort
Set measurable goals for content initiatives and report results in terms of business impact, not just pageviews
Work with the marketing team to connect content activity to CRM data and pipeline outcomes in HubSpot and Salesforce
What we're looking for

7+ years of B2B or enterprise content writing experience, ideally in digital services, technology, agency or consultancy
Proven background writing for regulated industries: healthcare, financial services, compliance, or similar
A portfolio that demonstrates range: long-form editorial, web copy, case studies, press releases, thought leadership
Exceptional command of the English language: grammar, structure and nuance, with a strong editorial instinct
Experience interviewing SMEs and distilling complex technical ideas into compelling, accessible narratives
Strong project management instincts: able to manage multiple workstreams without dropping the ball
Comfortable owning processes, not just executing tasks, you'll build systems as well as write content
High standards, high output, and the drive to do both at once
What we're not looking for

We will not consider candidates who rely on AI-generated drafts as a substitute for original writing. We expect every piece of content to reflect genuine craft, strategic thinking and a thorough understanding of the audience. If your process starts with a prompt box, this role is not for you.

How this role will be measured

Quality and consistency of content across website, editorial and campaign assets
Volume and velocity of case study output, and improvement in time-to-publish
Contribution to content strategy and editorial planning
Engagement and performance of content across key channels
