  • Core narrative assets: sales decks, one-pagers, case studies, demo scripts, technical content.
  • Stewardship of the brand system across every surface — including agency output.
  • Stand up analytics, conversion tracking, and SEO for website and other channels then own the site and its publishing cadence after with the support of internal technical team members.
  • Strategy, calendar, and execution on LinkedIn and X — work with partners and internal team to build footage, deployment milestones, technical explainers, founder-led thought leadership.
  • Report on audience quality, engagement, share of voice, referral traffic, and inbound sources.
  • Scope and eventually manage an analyst to absorb production and reporting.
  • Run events end to end — trade shows, customer and partner dinners, demo days.

Requirements

  • Hands-on events experience: built the booth plan, worked the show, followed up on leads.
  • Strong writing, an important part of this role.
  • Taste and a point of view. You can say precisely why agency work is off, and you'll push back on us when we're wrong.
