Job Summary

Own the US editorial strategy and calendar, leading long-form thought leadership and bylines with executives and customers, while upholding editorial standards and driving discoverability, distribution, and AI-enabled workflows.

  • Own the US editorial calendar and audience-specific storytelling.
  • Lead substantial, argument-driven long-form pieces and strategic bylines.
  • Collaborate across teams to shape voice, quality, and distribution metrics.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Editorial strategy. Own the editorial strategy and calendar for the US: the themes we own, the arguments we make, the cadence we hold to, and the audiences each piece is for.
  • Long-form thought leadership. Research, structure and write substantial pieces — reports, essays, points of view, industry analysis — that make a real argument rather than restating a trend.
  • Bylines & external voices. Develop content with executives, legal engineers and customers, drafting under their names where that is the more credible voice, and place it where it will be read.
  • Editorial standards. Hold the bar on quality and voice across everything published. Edit others' work, push back on writing that does not meet the standard, and contribute to the tone-of-voice guidance the wider team writes against.
  • Discoverability. Build content that performs in search and in AI answer engines without letting either dictate the writing.
  • Distribution & measurement. Plan distribution alongside creation with Growth, Brand and International Marketing, and jointly define the right success metrics for the editorial program — engagement, depth, sales usage, pipeline influence — and use them to decide what to write more and less of.
  • AI-enabled workflows. Use AI to accelerate research, structuring and iteration while keeping your voice and editorial judgement firmly in the driver's seat.

Requirements

  • Experience. 5-7+ years in content strategy, content marketing, editorial or journalism, ideally in B2B, SaaS, legal, financial services or another complex domain.
  • Writing portfolio. A strong body of published work showing range, voice and the ability to make a complicated subject clear and interesting.
  • Editorial ownership. Experience owning a content programme or publication end to end, including planning, commissioning and holding a quality bar across other people's work.
  • Sales-facing content. A track record of producing content that sales teams use, with a deep understanding of enterprise buying committees and long sales cycles.
  • Distribution & performance. Comfortable with SEO and content performance data, and able to use it to inform decisions without writing for the algorithm.
  • Collaboration. Experienced working with product marketing, brand, communications and executives, and skilled at drawing a point of view out of a busy expert.
  • AI-native. You use AI tools to work faster, and your editorial judgement is always the final word.

Benefits

  • Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across Europe, APAC, and North America.
  • Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.
  • Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.
  • In-person environment: Union Square office designed for ambitious builders and company provided lunch daily.
  • Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package: Medical, Dental & Vision
  • - Multiple medical plan options through Aetna and Kaiser Permanente
  • - HSA or Healthcare FSA (based on plan selection)
  • - Dental plans via MetLife
  • - Vision plans via Vision Care
  • Family Support
