Job Summary

Own and lead the end-to-end content strategy, from roadmapping and quality standards to production, AI-enabled workflows, discovery, and measurement, while shaping executive voice, cross-functional launches, and team growth.

  • Own strategy and roadmap across the buyer journey
  • Drive discovery, measurement, and production workflows
  • Lead and grow the content organization while partnering on launches

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the strategy and the roadmap . Map content to the full buyer journey, from awareness and education through evaluation and retention, against Lambda's growth, product, and brand goals.
  • Set and maintain the quality bar . Establish rigorous quality standards that empower the team to execute with excellence independently.
  • Run the production system . Intake, prioritization, drafting, review, and launch, at the cadence of product and model releases.
  • Shape how AI gets used in content production . Build the workflows and standards that let AI speed up the work without lowering the bar.
  • Own discovery . SEO and generative engine optimization (GEO) are how most people find us. Keyword research, content gap analysis, and on-page work are inputs to strategy, not a cleanup pass at the end.
  • Build the executive voice . Turn Lambda's narrative into thought leadership that holds up in front of ML engineers and data center operators.
  • Partner on launches . Work with technical product marketing and growth so every major launch and campaign is supported by a well-timed, end-to-end content program.
  • Own measurement . Traffic, engagement, pipeline influence, and content-assisted conversion, fed back into what the team makes next.
  • Build the team . Hire, develop, and shape the content org as it grows.

Requirements

  • You have taste . You can't walk past a vague sentence or a case study that says nothing. You know the difference between content that's technically correct and content that's actually worth reading, and you can teach that difference to someone else.
  • You're deeply curious about AI . You follow model releases, read top papers, and understand why memory bandwidth matters to an ML engineer. You can tell when a technical claim is load-bearing and when it's decoration.
  • You have a point of view on AI-assisted content . You've produced work with these tools yourself, you know what to trust them with, and you have opinions about where they break down.
  • You've led a content function, not just a content calendar . You've managed and grown people, and you can point to content you shipped and results you can attribute to it.
  • You think in systems . You design content architectures, not individual pieces. You understand how a benchmark post, a technical guide, and a case study work together.
  • You balance strategy and execution . You can build a 12-month roadmap and then sit with a writer to get one hard piece over the line. Neither mode intimidates you.
  • You excel at cross-functional leadership . You work with technical product marketers, researchers, engineers, designers, and web marketers, and you synthesize all of it into one coherent editorial vision.
  • You're rigorous about measurement . You define what working means, instrument for it, and act on what you find.

Preferred

  • Experience writing or editing for ML practitioners, whether at an infrastructure company, a research lab, or a developer tools start-up.
  • Experience building AI-assisted production workflows for content or other creative work.
  • A track record building organic and generative search visibility in the AI space.

Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents
  • Wellness and commuter stipends for select roles
  • 401k Plan with 2% company match (USA employees)
  • Flexible paid time off plan that we all actually use
