Merkury Innovations is a fast-paced consumer electronics business located in lower Manhattan. With almost 2 decades of experience in an ever-growing industry, we have expanded our portfolio from just consumer electronics to smart home, décor, gaming, fitness and more. Merkury owes its decades long growth to its hardworking and passionate team, which has resulted in strong business-to-business relationships with retail powerhouses like Wal-Mart, Target, and Best Buy. Communication, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills are how we keep up with the competition and produce over 1200 products a year. We are looking for great people, with great ideas who are highly motivated and organized, think outside the box, and strive to push limits.

You must have strong attention to detail and the ability to edit for consistency, brand voice, and grammar. We welcome candidates who embrace AI in their workflow, provided they understand the limitations of LLMs and have the confidence to know when and how to improve upon them. The ability to produce technical copy for user manuals is a major factor for consideration.
