Job Summary

Own the AI-driven content engine for franchise-focused B2B SaaS, balancing editorial quality with scalable, AI-assisted production and SEO. You will own the content calendar, cross-functional collaboration with Product/Sales/CS, and a library of prompts and templates to speed up output while preserving brand voice.

  • Editorial & AI Workflows: Build, refine, and enforce AI-assisted content production from outlines to publication, with human review for quality and accuracy.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Write and edit high-quality, SEO-optimized content across formats including blog posts, solution briefs, website pages, email copy, social media posts, video scripts, and sales enablement one-pagers.
  • Translate complex product capabilities and franchise industry trends into clear, engaging narratives tailored to FranConnect’s target personas.
  • Repurpose long-form content (webinars, white papers, research reports) into shorter-form assets — social snippets, emails, infographics — to maximize content mileage.
  • Maintain a consistent brand voice and tone across all content produced, ensuring alignment with FranConnect’s messaging framework.
  • Collaborate with subject matter experts in Product, Sales, and Customer Success to extract insights and turn them into compelling content.
  • Champion AI tools as a core part of your daily workflow. Use AI writing assistants (such as Writer, ChatGPT, or equivalent) to accelerate first drafts, generate content variations, and scale production volume without compromising quality.
  • Build and maintain a library of AI prompts, templates, and content briefs that enable fast, consistent content creation across the team.
  • Develop AI-assisted workflows for recurring content types (e.g., blog post drafts from outlines, email sequences from campaign briefs, social posts from long-form content) to reduce production time while maintaining editorial standards.
  • Stay current on emerging AI content tools and proactively recommend new capabilities that can improve team efficiency or content performance.
  • Integrate AI-generated outputs into an editorial review process that ensures accuracy, brand alignment, and human quality oversight before publication.

Requirements

  • 3–5 years of experience in content writing, content marketing, or a related role in a B2B SaaS environment.
  • Exceptional writing and editing skills — you can write clearly, adapt your voice to different formats, and self-edit with a sharp eye.
  • Demonstrated experience using AI writing tools (Writer, ChatGPT, Jasper, or similar) as a genuine productivity multiplier in day-to-day content work — not just as an experiment.
  • Comfort building and working within structured content workflows, prompt libraries, or AI-assisted production systems.
  • Working knowledge of SEO fundamentals and experience applying them in content creation.
  • Familiarity with HubSpot (or equivalent marketing automation platform) and Google Analytics.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a deadline-driven environment with minimal supervision.
  • Strong collaboration instincts — you are comfortable interviewing subject matter experts, incorporating feedback, and working cross-functionally.

Nice to Have

  • Experience writing for the franchise, multi-unit, or retail operations industry.
  • Familiarity with tools such as Salesforce, SEMrush/Ahrefs, or Hootsuite.
  • Experience creating content for both mid-market and enterprise B2B audiences.
  • Background in content operations or editorial project management.
  • Undergraduate degree in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, English, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.
