We are redoing our web presence. We have almost completed the information architecture, graphic design, and implementation in a simple CMS using our existing content.

We are looking for a highly experienced editor and writer to re-organize and edit existing material, and write introductions, summaries, and other sections. You will help identify what’s needed, and may help others draft technical content that you will wordsmith.

This is a short-term contract job. There may be ongoing part-time work. You can work remotely.

We help organizations make "green decisions": We offer analytic software and consulting to help organizations assess and reduce their energy use and environmental footprint. Our clients include start-up companies, large companies, and the US government. We are small (8) people, and growing.
