At Disney, we’re storytellers. We make the impossible, possible. The Walt Disney Company is a world-class entertainment and technological leader. Walt’s passion was to continuously envision new ways to move audiences around the world—a passion that remains our touchstone in an enterprise that stretches from theme parks, resorts and a cruise line to sports, news, movies and a variety of other businesses. Uniting each endeavor is a commitment to creating and delivering unforgettable experiences — and we’re constantly looking for new ways to enhance these exciting experiences.

　　The Enterprise Technology mission is to deliver technology solutions that align to business strategies while enabling enterprise efficiency and promoting cross-company collaborative innovation. The Enterprise Technology organization drives competitive advantage by enhancing our consumer experiences, enabling business growth, and advancing operational excellence.

　　Who you are

　　You have outstanding writing skills, but just as importantly, you love working with people. You can partner with a technologist and understand their technical jargon, but also put yourself in an end user’s shoes and write for their understanding. You have a gift for injecting friendliness and even excitement into topics other writers would consider dry or boring, and you’re passionate about helping others learn new things. You’re good at building relationships with others and want to help them anyway you can: whether that’s writing an article, conducting an interview to understand them better, or building a communications campaign to reach people where they are.
