Who you are:
- Experience
8+ years in content marketing and editorial, or strategic copywriting, ideally within B2B tech, fintech, or financial services. You bring a strong track record of owning and evolving content strategy, not just executing against it.
- Strategic mindset
You think beyond individual assets and understand how content drives business outcomes. You can connect content initiatives to broader marketing and commercial goals, identify opportunities, and prioritize where to play.
- AI fluency
You are comfortable using AI as part of your workflow to scale output, improve efficiency, and enhance creative quality — while maintaining strong editorial standards.

You have experience shaping compelling video content — from developing narratives to crafting strong hooks that capture attention early. You understand what works in short-form, platform-first video and can partner effectively with creative teams to bring ideas to life.
- Media and content ecosystem fluency
You have a deep understanding of the evolving media landscape and how B2B audiences consume content across platforms — from long-form reports to short-form, social-first, and video-led formats — and know how to adapt content accordingly.
- Master storyteller
You have strong editorial judgment and a journalistic mindset. You know how to find the angle, simplify complexity, and turn technical topics into clear, compelling, and differentiated stories.
- Audience-centric
You are deeply curious about your audience. You actively seek to understand the motivations, behaviors, and pain points of merchants across industries, and use these insights to create relevant and high-impact content.
- Strong owner and collaborator
You thrive in a fast-paced, flat environment and take full ownership of your work. You're comfortable working independently while also influencing stakeholders and collaborating across teams, agencies, and freelancers to raise the bar on output.
