Job Summary

Own the digital content and social media strategy for CHAOS, shaping website content, editorial standards, and a scalable social presence across platforms while building a community of contributors and driving performance optimization.

  • Lead website content strategy and editorial governance
  • Drive social media planning, execution, and analytics
  • Build and guide a community of practice for content contributors

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Digital Content
  • - Define and articulate our competitive differentiation and position within the defense and aerospace market. Translate that positioning into an effective website content strategy, messaging framework, and site architecture.
  • - Refresh existing website content and develop new material that advances our brand positioning and business priorities.
  • - Increase content visibility across traditional search, answer engines, and generative AI platforms through SEO, AEO, and GEO best practices.
  • - Establish and uphold editorial standards by reviewing content from contributors across the organization for quality, consistency, and brand alignment.
  • - Build and lead a community of practice that equips contributors, strengthens internal capabilities, and ensures the website remains an effective marketing and communications channel.
  • - Regularly analyze website performance and independently recommend improvements to user journeys, audience experience, traffic, engagement, and overall effectiveness.
  • Social Media
  • - Own the social media strategy and calendar across all social media platforms, aligned to company milestones, product launches, and events.
  • - Create and adapt content for social — repurposing press coverage, executive commentary, product content, and event moments into platform-native posts.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in mass communication, marketing, journalism, public relations, communications, or English.
  • 3-6 years of digital content and/or social media management experience, ideally including B2B, government-facing, defense, or other regulated-industry brands.
  • A strong track record of growing and engaging an audience on LinkedIn, YouTube and Instagram specifically, not just general social familiarity.
  • Excellent writing skills and a sharp eye for what makes content land with a technical/executive/government audience versus a consumer one.
  • Comfortable working with sensitive information and following a review process before publishing — judgment matters as much as speed here.
  • Experience turning press coverage, executive commentary, and event content into a steady cadence of organic social content.
  • Basic proficiency with social scheduling/analytics tools.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and ownership — able to build and run the social function largely on your own in the early months.
  • Based in the Washington, D.C. area.

Preferred

  • Experience in defense, aerospace, government contracting, or other regulated industries.
  • Basic graphic design or short-form video editing skills.
  • Experience supporting executive thought leadership/personal brand on social.
  • Prior experience at an early-stage or high-growth startup.

Benefits

  • Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision benefits 100% paid for by the company
  • Additional benefits : 401k (+ 50% company match up to 6% of pay), FSA, HSA, life insurance, and more
  • Our Perks: Free daily lunch while you're working onsite, fully-stocked kitchen, unlimited PTO, casual dress code
  • Compensation Components: Competitive base salaries, generous pre-IPO stock option grants, relocation assistance, and (coming soon!) annual bonuses
  • Team Growth: 500+ employees and counting across 5 global offices
