About Cape

Cape is America’s privacy-first mobile carrier. Our mission is to be a force for good in global wireless. Cape was founded in 2022 by people who believe privacy is a fundamental right, not a luxury to be traded away. Our journey began when our founder recognized a critical vulnerability in our modern world: everyone relies on the same stagnant cellular infrastructure and legacy systems that track our every movement, monitor and profile our connections, and lose and sell our personal data. Instead of accepting the status quo, we decided to fix it. National security professionals, journalists, parents, and everyone in between can stay connected and have privacy. We didn’t just build a layer on top of old tech; we built America’s most private and secure mobile carrier from the ground up. By building our own network from scratch, we are able to design and build a suite of privacy and security features that no other carrier on the planet can offer. Today, Cape provides our secure network to consumers, businesses, and government agencies alike. We closed our Series C in March 2026, and we are scaling rapidly, with the goal of giving people back control of their most personal information.

The Team

At Cape, we are the architects of a privacy-centric movement that is just getting started. We are relentless builders, constantly innovating at the edge of what's possible in telecommunications. We operate on a foundation of high trust and high expectations. Our structure is flat, and collaboration matters more than hierarchy. As a member of our team, you will collaborate with world-class engineers, architects, and visionaries, and work across organizational lines to solve "impossible" problems and deliver mission-critical results for our users every single day.

About the role

Privacy is one of the defining fights of this decade, and most of the public conversation about it is still boring, jargon-heavy, or fear-based. We want to change that. We're hiring a Social Media Associate to own and grow Cape's voice across social media channels. This person will be the driving force behind multiplying our following, sharpening our brand voice into something people actually want to engage with, and helping establish Cape as a credible, quotable voice in the broader public conversation about privacy, not just another company posting product updates. This is a high-ownership role for someone who is a sharp, distinctive writer first, and who wants to grow social channels rather than just maintain existing ones. You'll have real input into how Cape shows up in the world, not just execute a content calendar someone else designed.

Responsibilities

  • Own social copywriting, editing, and posting end-to-end.
  • Develop and evolve Cape's brand voice across channels.
  • Copy edit and upload blog posts.
  • Write and edit email marketing copy; format and help build out email flows/sequences.
  • Proofread across all of the above - nothing goes out with typos or off-brand language.
  • Help identify and shape opportunities for Cape to weigh in on public privacy conversations.
  • Translate technical/product features into compelling narratives for social and video.
  • Light operations: Order business cards, conference materials, etc.
  • Reply to inbound email inquiries, which requires getting familiar enough with the product to represent it accurately.

Requirements

  • Excellent, distinctive writing
  • Strong organizational skills: comfortable building and maintaining spreadsheet trackers to manage
