Author for TECHNO (Yandex's Telegram channel about technology)

Work in the "Dear Editorial Team"

Whom are we looking for? We are looking for an author for brand media that talks about how technologies (primarily gadgets, AI, robotics) are changing the world:

We make technologies understandable and talk about them in simple language.
We write short explainers, news, look for interesting stories, and also engage readers with games built on Telegram recruiter contact and contests that require demonstrating knowledge or skills.

The ideal candidate is immersed in the world of technology but can look at it through the eyes of an uninformed person to come up with non-standard ways of presenting information. Experience working in social-first media and with social media formats will be a plus.

What needs to be done? You need to find topics, come up with how to present the material using Telegram recruiter contact, and write. It is important to stay updated on what is happening in the world of technology.

How does the work work? We publish materials from Monday to Friday. You will work 5 days a week. It can be remote work (if you prefer), or you can work from our office in the center of Moscow. Once a week, the project editorial team holds video calls where we discuss and brainstorm new materials. You will need to come up with how a particular material will be presented, together with us or independently, and then write it.

We offer:

Money: competitive (based on interview results).
Project: one of the most popular channels about technology.
Work in one of Russia's leading agencies (this is work on the agency's side – in the Dear Editorial Team).
Great team: you will work with an editor, design team, account manager, publisher, and client (this is Yandex).
Flexible schedule – remote or office.

To apply for the vacancy, send your portfolio and cover letter (why you should get this job) to Vika at recruiter contact. The subject of the email should be "Author for TECHNO".
