Experiences we think might help you succeed:

• Owning the content strategy from finding the right keywords to conducting interviews to publishing content and everything in between.
• Increasing B2B organic website traffic with content; Turning that website traffic into leads with content.
• Commissioning and managing content from 3rd party producers
• We’ve built a customer feedback platform, so interviewing folks (customers, prospects, industry folks) is part of the job. And we need to turn those interviews into content that helps with traffic & leads.
• SEO audit tools/Google analytics: having used these to help inform content development could be helpful.
• Excitement about a role or product: The passion we all feel for this mission to democratize research is deep, and our small team needs to exude that passion.

Bonus points:

What this job isn’t

• Authoritarian: As the second full-time hire for the marketing team, I need a partner, someone who comes with ideas, is open to discussion, takes ideas, and turns them into reality. I will not tell you precisely what to do and expect a “yes” at every turn.
• Slow: We have lofty goals, and this is our chance to fill the top of our funnel as fast as possible.
• Single-threaded: You’ll be jumping from social listening & posting to Google Analytics to eBook writing. It’s a lot of different types of work. And we need someone who can do it all from “hmmm, that’s an interesting and relevant search query” to “and now we have an eBook live on the website and garnering leads.”
