• Long-form Content Creation: Own the production of long-form content tailored to midmarket audiences—including blog posts, webpages, case studies, and more. Write with clarity, adapt tone for different formats, and review others' work with a sharp eye for quality and consistency.
• Brief Review & Intake: Serve as the first line of review for incoming content project briefs, ensuring requests are clear, complete, and actionable before work begins.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with product marketing, demand generation, sales, and design teams to gather input, stay aligned on priorities, and ensure content reflects the latest messaging and campaign direction.
• Team Support & Feedback: Review the work of supporting midmarket content managers and provide clear, constructive feedback that sharpens their output and keeps deliverables on track.

Requirements

• Background in writing and editing for integrated marketing campaigns, with expertise in paid media/advertising and email writing.
• A strong writing portfolio that demonstrates your ability to make complex technology clear, engaging, and audience-appropriate.
• Preferably 5 years of experience in B2B content marketing, ideally within networking, enterprise technology, or a related technical domain.

• Experience managing multiple content deliverables simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
• Background in using AI tools in your content workflows to accelerate and improve the content creation process.
• A sharp editorial eye with experience reviewing and providing feedback on others' work.
• Self-starter mindset with strong attention to detail and a commitment to delivering quality on deadline.
