Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build editorial strategy and a content calendar that ladder up to Deepgram’s company narrative, key messages, and major moments.
  • Develop editorial themes around voice AI, enterprise AI, model development, customer impact, agents, and the future of human-AI interaction.
  • Mine stories across research, engineering, product, customers, GTM, and leadership; interview internal and external stakeholders to surface insights.
  • Write, edit, and produce core narrative materials, including executive posts, essays, customer stories, explainers, newsletters and launch support across formats and channels.
  • Create repeatable editorial franchises and formats that reinforce Deepgram’s narrative over time.
  • Make Deepgram’s technical, product, and customer stories more useful, more accessible, and more compelling.
  • Support major moments, including the fall event.
  • Partner with communications, product marketing, brand, design, video, and demand generation.
  • Build editorial processes that improve quality and consistency without making everything heavy.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in editorial, content, journalism, or a related field, with significant experience creating thoughtful content around complex technology.
  • A body of work that proves it: you can point to pieces that built a genuine point of view, not just filled a calendar.
  • Taste. You know what's actually interesting, what reads as credible, and how to make technical work feel relevant and compelling without flattening it into generic marketing.
  • Exceptional writing and editing range across formats—executive essays, customer stories, explainers, newsletters—with a high bar for clarity, substance, and craft.
  • Proven ability to produce high-quality work on a demanding schedule—you can sustain a newsroom-style cadence without letting quality slip, and you see consistency as a way to build authority rather than a reason to settle.
  • The instincts of a reporter: you can interview researchers, engineers, product people, and customers, get to the heart of complex material, and surface the insight worth publishing.
  • The ability to make technical depth accessible without losing substance, so the work stays useful to sophisticated readers while remaining readable for everyone else.
  • A track record of building repeatable editorial formats and franchises that hold quality and consistency over time, not one-off hits.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a builder's mindset—you're energized by shaping an editorial function from the ground up, and can create lightweight processes that raise quality without making everything heavy.
  • A collaborative style, with experience partnering across communications, product marketing, brand, design, video, and demand gen, plus the relationship-building instinct to keep ideas surfacing from across the company.

Preferred

  • A background in technology journalism or editorial—covering startups, AI, infrastructure, developer tools, or enterprise tech (think TechCrunch, VentureBeat, or a strong independent newsletter).
  • Time on an in-house editorial team at a company that treats content as a product (Stripe, Notion, GitHub, and the like).
  • Experience shaping a company's voice as a founder, executive, or ghostwriter in a technically complex environment.
  • Experience at an editorial agency or studio (Animalz or similar) working across complex technical clients, and ready to own a function in-house.
