Position Overview

We're searching for a strategic and creative Content Director to elevate our brand and amplify our message.

You're a writer at heart and a true "marketing athlete" with a deep understanding of how to craft compelling stories and cultivate thought leadership through writing, video, audio, social, speaking engagements, and events . You bring a strong background in content creation and distribution, ideally with experience in tech, startups, or similar fast-paced environments.

You know what it takes to run a modern content ecosystem, and you’re deeply excited about the future of media. You understand that publishing is just the beginning–exceptional content-driven marketing means meaningful distribution and engagement. You take equal pride in both the visible outcomes and the behind-the-scenes work that makes success possible. You also have a strong sense of - or are eager to learn - what resonates with startup founders.

As a vital member of a high-impact team, you’ll develop and execute integrated marketing strategies that grow and differentiate our brand, speak to startup founders, support our portfolio companies, and drive engagement across owned, earned, and experiential channels.

  • Prepare detailed interview guides for thought leaders, including thorough background research and insightful questions for podcasts, panel discussions, and events.
  • Shape and direct creative briefs for external partners and freelancers, including videographers, photographers, designers, writers, and editors.
  • Define and track metrics for all content marketing initiatives and use these insights to continuously refine your work..
  • Events Strategy & Ecosystem Engagement

  • Develop creative marketing campaigns for events to maximize attendance, engagement, and brand visibility.
  • Partner with our marketing coordinator and editorial director to design innovative ways to engage audiences through content before, during, and after events.

  • PR & Communications

  • Collaborate with our media relations team to shape marketing initiatives into compelling media pitches.
  • Support the development of press releases, executive talking points, and broader executive communications.

  • Strong portfolio demonstrating creative and effective content development and distribution.
  • Deep understanding of and curiosity about the tech, startup, and innovation landscape.
  • A confident, compassionate, and collaborative team player with proven experience working with multiple stakeholders.
  • Proficiency with and excitement about the modern marketing stack , including AI tools, social media platforms, analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), and collaboration tools (e.g., Notion, Figma).
  • Preferred Qualifications
