Posted on Jan 22, 2025

We’re looking for a Content Strategist, Organic to unlock rapid traffic growth, capture prospect emails en masse, improve content conversion rates across our website, and provide top-tier content experiences to the small business owners we serve.

Reporting to the Content Marketing Lead, this role is for you if you love to blend right-brain creative vision with a left-brain obsession with trackable results–and if you want to reimagine what high-value content programs look like in a post-AI world.

This hybrid role is a six-month contract assignment with potential for extension.

You are a bar raiser, this means you come with:

  • Experience - 4+ years of experience in content marketing, with tales to tell of SEO writing, keyword research, and revenue-accountable traffic growth

  • Creativity - You have strong writing and editing skills, and you need to push organic execution beyond just “SEO content”

  • Organization - You’re obsessed with project and resource management, focusing on agility over depth of process, and have experience managing Asana or a similar tool

  • SEO Know-How - Deep familiarity with SEO tools (e.g., Google Search Console, Ahrefs, SurferSEO) to develop data-driven strategies and measure performance

  • Curiosity - You’re not scared of the post-AI future, and have a keen interest in both leveraging and ranking for AI systems–without sacrificing the human reading experience

  • Small Business Love - You earnestly love the small business community, and believe adding your touch to our content will actually make their lives better

  • Collaboration - You’ll make the most of relationships across sales, support, CRO, SEO, product marketing and analytics to get sh** done in a way that’s valuable inside and outside the content team

Bonus points for:

  • Experience writing for a small business audience (especially journalistically)

  • Experience with SMB SAAS–or running a small business of your own!

You will make an impact by:

  • Researching, pitching, and managing a quarterly strategic content calendar based on product roadmap, existing successes, customer insights, refresh opportunities, and company objectives

  • Managing high-velocity content production (blogs, checklists, etc.) across a team of whip-smart writers, editors, and agencies without sacrificing quality

  • Centering the customer by introducing customer interviews, testimonials, and value adds to existing content in partnership with our product marketing and brand teams

  • Measuring performance at all funnel stages, from impression to click to download to sign up to MRR, so you’re hyper-aware of our content program’s impact

  • Getting more from less by working with the CRO team to unlock content-driven sign up growth; the SEO team to ensure everything we publish hits every technical requirement; and our design resources to optimize existing content with rankable images

  • Constantly developing your freelancers by treating them as members of our team, and ensuring we’re hitting goals while developing our resource pool–leading to even stronger results

What We Offer

  • Stock Options - Everyone is an Owner!

  • Competitive group health benefits coverage for you and your eligible dependents

  • Group Investments, TFSA as well as an RRSP plan which offers a 4% company match

  • Employer supplemented Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance Plans

  • Company-paid holidays and 20 days accrued PTO per year

  • Continued learning and development stipend

  • Paid parental leave after 1-year of service

  • Top-of-the-line equipment and stipend for workspace setup

  • Work from home days, Monday, Thursday, & Friday

  • Meals provided at our vibrant workspaces
