Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've led content strategy at a B2B SaaS, ad tech, or data platform and can translate complex ML/AI concepts into compelling stories
  • You're equally comfortable with big-picture strategy and operational project management (from editorial calendar to asset delivery)
  • You thrive building teams and defining processes from scratch; strong stakeholder management across product, sales, and PR
  • You obsess over metrics and can tie content creation directly to business outcomes (leads, brand lift, thought leadership impact)
  • You're excited by TV, streaming, programmatic advertising, and the future of cross-screen marketing measurement
Won't Work If
  • You're a pure creative with no appetite for data, metrics, or tying content to business KPIs
  • You need full remote flexibility; this is on-site in San Francisco
  • You've only worked in B2C consumer marketing or content agencies; B2B complex tech narratives will feel foreign
  • You prefer deep-dive long-form writing over managing a production engine of diverse, snackable formats (charts, videos, infographics, reports)
