Crawford Group (www.crawfordgroup.com) is looking for an experienced Technology Writer to support the Global Communications team for our client in Palo Alto, CA. This consulting role is part-time, approximately 20 hours per week, for a 3-6 month assignment. The focus of the work will be on short-form content in support of both internal and external communications.
