Job Summary

Own the craft and impact of content by shaping briefs, guiding editorial direction, and boosting content quality across core product lines and cross-functional programs.

  • Editorial Ownership: shape briefs and funnel-aligned content ideas with clear audience, stage, and distribution thesis.
  • Raising Standards: provide specific feedback to writers to grow both writing and content-marketing impact, not just prose.
  • Cross-Functional Programs: partner with SEO, demand gen, product marketing, and brand to run integrated content programs and refresh existing assets for better performance.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Shape content ideas across Pave, Quickbase Classic, and FastField — sharpen what gets made and why, with a clear thesis on funnel stage, audience, and distribution
  • Partner with requesters to challenge vague briefs and reshape them into something a writer can run with — you can tell a requester their brief isn't ready and help them get it there without losing the relationship
  • Edit drafts to a high editorial standard — clarity, structure, voice, and substance
  • Give writers specific, direct feedback that helps them grow as content marketers, not just as writers
  • Partner with SEO, demand gen, product marketing, and brand on integrated programs
  • Refresh and improve existing content to lift performance and tighten our editorial point of view

Requirements

  • 6+ years in content marketing, preferably B2B SaaS
  • A portfolio of work you wrote or edited that you can defend on substance, not just metrics
  • Strong strategic thinking — you can look at a campaign and say what content it needs and why
  • Strong editorial instincts — you know what makes writing good and you can explain it
  • Funnel fluency — you understand the difference between top, middle, and bottom of funnel and can place content accordingly
  • Experience editing other writers and giving feedback that improves their work
  • Comfort with ambiguity — you can shape a plan when one doesn't exist yet

Preferred

  • Background in agency or in-house content programs that ship at volume without losing quality
  • Working knowledge of SEO and AEO — you don't need to own it, but you should understand how it shapes content decisions
  • Familiarity with operator-facing software, ops roles, or field/frontline work
  • Experience with AI tools in a content workflow — Claude, ChatGPT, or similar

Benefits

  • Beyond salary, employees receive bonus/commission eligibility and access to a full benefits package including health insurance, 401k, paid time off, etc.
