Who We Are Looking For

We're looking for a full-time, remote Head of Content who thrives at the intersection of creativity and performance. You'll lead content quality across diverse campaigns – from e-commerce to lead generation, events to full website builds – ensuring every word drives results.

This isn't about churning out copy. It's about understanding what makes customers click, convert, and come back. You'll oversee a team of up to 5 content leads, shaping strategy based on real performance data while maintaining the creative excellence our clients expect.

Job Description

1. Drive Strategy Through Performance

• Collaborate with our Head of Growth and Content Leads to develop data-informed content strategies
• Review monthly ad performance reports and translate insights into strategic pivots
• Research competitor messaging and industry trends to keep our clients ahead of the curve
• Make strategic calls on messaging based on what's actually working, not just what sounds good

2. Own Quality & Consistency

• QC all content deliverables – briefs, ad copy, website content, and design assets – before they go live
• Establish and enforce quality standards that balance creativity with conversion goals
• Ensure brand voice and messaging consistency across 10+ diverse industries (from ayurvedic wellness to music festivals)

3. Lead & Develop Your Team

• Manage up to 5 content leads, providing guidance and mentorship
• Conduct daily check-ins to keep projects on track and unblock your team
• Train new team members on our processes, standards, and strategic approach
• Jump in to write when your team needs support – you're hands-on when it counts

4. Master Remote Collaboration

• Set realistic timelines and manage stakeholder expectations proactively
• Communicate openly and promptly – essential in our fully remote environment
• Coordinate across content, design, and development teams for website projects
• Keep multiple campaigns moving simultaneously without dropping the ball

You're a Great Fit If You

• Have worked as a content writer at a performance marketing agency for a minimum of five years
• Have a strong foundation in content strategy with a performance marketing mindset
• Can switch contexts quickly – from writing skincare copy to reviewing briefs for a real estate campaign
• Know the difference between content that looks good and content that performs
• Are obsessive about quality but pragmatic about deadlines
• Stay current on digital marketing trends and platform best practices
• Have some understanding of editing style guides
• Thrive in remote work environments and over-communicate rather than under-communicate
• Have an understanding of good design practices as well as what is working in terms of aesthetics for a particular ad category/type
• Love mentoring others and building systems that scale
• Can confidently present strategic recommendations backed by data

What Makes This Different

Industry Diversity: You'll never be bored. One week you're strategizing for an ayurvedic wellness brand, the next you're crafting messaging for a music festival. We're industry-agnostic, which means constant learning and creative variety.

Full Ownership: This isn't a "review and approve" role. You'll shape strategy, make the call on what works, and see the direct impact of your decisions on client results.

Remote-First Culture: Work from anywhere. We're built for remote collaboration and trust our team to deliver without micromanagement.

Performance-Driven: We care about results. You'll have access to real performance data and the autonomy to make strategic changes based on what you're seeing.

The Team You'll Join

We're a performance marketing agency that works with everyone from Netflix comedians to emerging D2C brands. Our sweet spot? Taking diverse brands and crafting content strategies that actually move the needle – whether that's driving ticket sales, increasing ROAS, or building brand awareness that converts.

We believe great content sits at the intersection of creativity and data. If you geek out over A/B test results as much as you do over a perfectly crafted headline, you'll fit right in.
