Overview of Position
FranConnect is looking for a creative, data-curious, and AI-savvy Content Manager/Writer to join our Marketing team. This is a hands-on individual contributor role for someone who loves crafting compelling B2B content and is equally excited about using AI tools to scale content production thoughtfully and efficiently.
Content Production & Writing
- Write and edit high-quality, SEO-optimized content across formats including blog posts, solution briefs, website pages, email copy, video scripts, and sales enablement one-pagers.
- Translate complex product capabilities and franchise industry trends into clear, engaging narratives tailored to FranConnect’s target personas.
- Repurpose long-form content (webinars, white papers, research reports) into shorter-form assets to maximize content mileage.
- Maintain a consistent brand voice and tone across all content produced, ensuring alignment with FranConnect’s messaging framework.
- Collaborate with subject matter experts in Product, Sales, and Customer Success to extract insights and turn them into compelling content.
AI-Powered Content Workflows
- Champion AI tools as a core part of your daily workflow. Use AI writing assistants (such as Writer, ChatGPT, or equivalent) to accelerate first drafts, generate content variations, and scale production volume without compromising quality.
- Build and maintain a library of AI prompts, templates, and content briefs that enable fast, consistent content creation across the team.
- Develop AI-assisted workflows for recurring content types (e.g., blog post drafts from outlines, email sequences from campaign briefs, social posts from long-form content) to reduce production time while maintaining editorial standards.
- Stay current on emerging AI content tools and proactively recommend new capabilities that can improve team efficiency or content performance.
- Integrate AI-generated outputs into an editorial review process that ensures accuracy, brand alignment, and human quality oversight before publication.
Content Calendar & Operations
- Manage and execute against the editorial content calendar, ensuring timely delivery of content across all active campaigns and channels.
- Track content in production from brief to publish, flagging risks and proactively resolving bottlenecks.
- Maintain organized content repositories and asset libraries so that published and in-flight content is easy to find, update, and repurpose.
- Cook up content delivery with Demand Generation to align content delivery with campaign launch dates, nurture sequences, and event timelines.
SEO & Performance
- Apply on-page SEO best practices to all written content — keyword integration, meta descriptions, internal linking, LLM and headline optimization.
- Use tools such as SEMrush, Ahrefs, or Moz to identify content opportunities, track keyword rankings, and inform topic selection.
- Monitor content performance using Google Analytics and HubSpot; report on traffic, engagement, and content-attributed pipeline metrics on a regular cadence.
- Use performance data to continuously improve content quality and prioritize what topics and formats to invest in.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with the Product Marketing team to ensure new product releases, feature updates, and positioning changes are accurately reflected in content.
- Partner with the Demand Generation team to build content that supports lead generation programs, including landing pages, gated assets, and nurture email series.
- Support Sales with fresh, up-to-date collateral by turning sales feedback into actionable content updates.
- Participate in content reviews and contribute editorial feedback on work produced by agency partners or freelancers.
Qualifications
- 3–5 years of experience in content writing, content marketing, or a related role in a B2B SaaS environment.
- Must have proven content writing experience working in a B2B SaaS Tech environment.
- Exceptional writing and editing skills — you can write clearly, adapt your voice to different formats, and self-edit with a sharp eye.
- Demonstrated experience using AI writing tools (Writer, ChatGPT, Jasper, or similar) as a genuine productivity multiplier in day-to-day content work — not just as an experiment.
- Comfort building and working within structured content workflows, prompt libraries, or AI-assisted production systems.
- Working knowledge of SEO fundamentals and experience applying them in content creation.
- Familiarity with HubSpot (or equivalent marketing automation platform) and Google Analytics.
- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a deadline-driven environment with minimal supervision.
- Strong collaboration instincts — you are comfortable interviewing subject matter experts, incorporating feedback, and working cross-functionally.
PREFERRED
- Experience writing for the franchise, multi-unit, or retail operations industry.
