Job Summary

Own the startup blog strategy at Ashby from 0 to 1 and build a publishing rhythm that resonates with startup talent leaders, founders, and the GTM org. Lead end-to-end content planning, collaboration with Partnerships, and audience-first content ecosystems across X and the blog.

  • Define the blog's voice, goals, and measurement framework.
  • Own publishing cadence and cross-functional inputs (SEO/AEO, customer intel, partnerships).

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Develop a startup recruiting blog. You'll be the first true owner of a blog strategy at Ashby. We've historically leaned on data reports, courses, and events to carry our content, so this is a genuine 0 to 1 opportunity to define what our blog stands for and how it earns a place in the startup hiring conversation.
  • Publish that blog consistently. Your inputs will come from SEO and AEO research, customer intel pulled from customer calls, our partnerships team, and anyone across go-to-market who has built a strong understanding of the startup audience. You'll turn all of that into a steady drumbeat of writing that holds our quality bar.
  • Build a real publishing strategy for X.com . This isn't about promoting content that already exists elsewhere. It's about thinking critically on how we speak to startup talent leaders and founders on the channel they live on most, in a voice built for that channel (not just a repost of the blog).
  • Collaborate with our Partnerships team. They run strategic activation for our VC talent community, and you'll make sure the content and resources that show up in their in-person activations and engagement campaigns are sharp, clear, and genuinely useful to the founders and talent leaders in the room.
  • Own the audience, not just a content type. Whether it's a blog post or a post on X, you're thinking end to end about what a startup talent leader or hiring-focused founder needs next, and building the content ecosystem around them accordingly.

Benefits

  • - Competitive salary and equity.
  • - Opportunity to work with a talented and passionate team.
  • - 10-year exercise window for stock options . You shouldn’t feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby —do it when you feel financially comfortable.
  • - Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year. Expect “Vacation?” in our one-on-one agenda until you start taking it 😅.
  • - Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave in the US. We plan to expand this to employees in other countries as situations arise.
  • - Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. Get what you need to be happy and productive!
  • - $100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval.
  • - If you’re in the US, top-notch health insurance for you and your dependents with all premiums covered by us.
