ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Content & Community Strategist to connect our product with the right audiences in high-impact, authentic ways. You’ll plan and execute field events, build relationships with influencers and customers, and create compelling content that amplifies our brand presence — both in-person and online.

This role is ideal for a creative self-starter who thrives in fast-paced environments, knows how to make things happen with limited resources, and understands how content and events drive pipeline for a SaaS business.

• Newsletter: Manage the monthly newsletter with 80,000+ subscribers, including copy, creative direction, and email execution.

• Collaborate cross-functionally: Manage and prioritize content requests, interview and/or ghostwrite with subject matter experts.

• Social distribution: Repurpose content across social channels and monitor and respond to community feedback.

• Influencer engagement: Identify and engage B2B influencers, power users, and thought leaders relevant to our space for content opportunities (e.g., LinkedIn creators, podcast hosts, niche community leaders).

• Product advocacy: Build scalable programs for product advocacy and co-marketing opportunities (e.g., user takeovers, AMAs, guest content).
  Cultivate relationships with local user groups, tech meetups, and industry communities.

• Reporting: Track content performance across GA4, HubSpot, and other analytics tools, and optimize based on insights.

Event & Community Engagement (20% of time)

• Event management: Own event logistics end-to-end: venue, signage, swag, tech setup, guest lists, and follow-up.

• Product & customer advocacy: Support customer marketing initiatives by showcasing customer success stories through in-person and online events and activations.

• Reporting: Track event performance through lead quality, meetings, and pipeline generation.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

• 2–4 years of experience in content, brand, or growth marketing for a B2B SaaS product.

• Strong visual and written content skills. You’re comfortable capturing content in-person and virtually, and can provide design teams with clear creative briefs to bring the story to life.

• Experience using AI to craft high-quality on-brand content.

• Strong project management skills. You know how to work backward from a deadline and manage the moving pieces with ease.

• Willingness to travel for events, customer visits, and meetups (10–25% depending on season).
