• Leverage AI-powered content tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and deep research methodologies to produce high-quality, scalable content efficiently.
  
• Act as reviewer and editor for all marketing materials, ensuring compelling, error-free copy across all channels, while helping team members elevate their writing.
  
• Evaluate current review processes and make adjustments to accelerate time-to-publish without sacrificing attention to detail.
  
• Collaborate cross-functionally with subject matter experts, product marketers, customer marketing, and the creative/design/video teams to turn complex ideas into compelling stories.
  
• Optimize content performance by leveraging SEO insights, analytics, and A/B testing to increase reach, engagement, and conversions.
  
• Lead editorial planning—own the content calendar, manage freelancers or agencies, and maintain consistency across all channels.
  
• Support storytelling innovation, exploring new formats (podcasts, video, interactive content) to engage audiences across platforms.
  
• Report on impact, tracking metrics such as traffic, engagement, lead quality, and revenue contribution.
  
• Own session content planning and organization for our annual customer conference, Vision. Work with product, product marketing, customer marketing, and executives to ensure sessions are engaging, on brand, and answer critical customer questions.

What We're Looking For:

3-5 years managing a high-performing content marketing team.

Proven ability to develop and execute content strategies that drive measurable business outcomes.

Excellent writing and editing skills with an ability to adapt tone and style across formats and audiences.

Bias towards experimentation, e.g., new storytelling techniques, social-first video, infographics, etc.

Deep understanding of SEO, analytics, and content performance measurement.

Experience managing writers, freelancers, or agency partners.
