Creative Writer: Forecasting and Communications

AccuWeather is seeking a highly creative, curious, and deeply collaborative Creative Writer: Forecasting and Communications, to work directly with AccuWeather forecasters and the Writing Committee to further elevate the detail, clarity, precision, and distinctiveness of the language used to describe forecasts for our users. This role is designed for a graduate student or an individual with equivalent writing experience who brings fresh thinking about how complex weather information can be expressed in ways that are more detailed, precise, clear, engaging, and scientifically sound.

Embedded closely with Forecast Operations, this position will learn from meteorologists, participate in the forecast-writing process, and help develop new approaches, terminology, and descriptive frameworks that make AccuWeather forecasts more informative and better than what is available from any other source. The emphasis is on improving the consumer forecast experience - not traditional public relations - by helping forecasters communicate what the weather will be, what the impact will be, how it will evolve, what it may look like, and what details matter most to people making decisions. This includes a laser focus on developing stronger displays, greater artistry, and more effective visual communications that amplify the advantages of AccuWeather forecasts and content.
