What You’ll Be Doing
- Lead the written side of all content, working directly with the Head of Content.
- Focus on LinkedIn and X (Twitter) as primary social channels, with room to expand.
- Own customer case studies end‑to‑end: interview accountants and finance leaders, then craft compelling proof points.
- Write for a range of audiences—from CFOs and controllers in lean in‑house finance teams to partners at the largest accounting firms.
- Consider GEO (search and AI visibility) as a core aspect of content creation, ensuring pieces earn citations in AI assistants and search results.
- Help build marketing motions from zero to one for the sales team, creating assets and programs that generate pipeline.
- Experiment with new formats such as newsletters, podcasts, and other innovative channels; run tests, analyze results, and scale successful tactics.
- Treat content as a growth channel, measuring audience and pipeline impact alongside craft.
- Use AI tools (Claude, Code/Codex, etc.) throughout research, drafting, editing, repurposing, and asset production.
- Produce your own graphics, slides, and landing‑page copy without relying on a designer.
What You’ll Bring
- 5‑7+ years of professional writing or content‑marketing experience.
- 2+ years of in‑house experience (not agency or freelance).
- Portfolio demonstrating speed, range, and impact.
- Strong writing ability: research topics, find angles, and deliver quickly without sacrificing quality.
- Growth mindset: audience‑first thinking, distribution strategy, and focus on compounding returns.
- Fluency with GEO and search: understand how content gains visibility in AI assistants and search, and structure writing accordingly.
- Customer‑storytelling skill: comfortable interviewing customers and turning conversations into tight, persuasive stories.
- Voice range: adapt tone for sophisticated, skeptical audiences while avoiding generic brand language.
- Social instinct: keen awareness of what resonates on LinkedIn and X, with specific creator and format examples.
- AI fluency: daily use of Claude, Code/Codex, and related tools, with demonstrable impact on output.
- Self‑sufficiency: build assets end‑to‑end without waiting on others.
- 0‑1 mindset: comfortable building content function and processes from scratch, including sales‑enablement motions.
- In‑person presence 5 days a week at our Flatiron office.
What We’d Love To See
- Audience building: a newsletter, channel, or show you grew from zero, with honest metrics.
- GEO and organic results: examples where you moved visibility in AI assistants or search and the drivers behind it.
- Case‑study craft: customer stories you researched, interviewed, and wrote that a sales team used repeatedly.
- Pipeline contribution: content programs you can tie to qualified pipeline or closed revenue.
- New channel experience: hands‑on work launching a newsletter, podcast, or live format that reached a real audience.
- AI leverage: a system, workflow, or prompt library you built that amplified your production capacity.
- Accounting industry fluency: familiarity with accounting professionals, buyer personas, and the creators/publications they follow.
- Zero ego.
