• Create original editorial franchises and repeatable content formats that audiences associate with Alpaca, spanning podcasts, video series, newsletters, interviews, research, events, and social content.
• Own the complete content and media lifecycle, from editorial planning and production through publishing, distribution, audience growth, measurement, and continuous optimization.
• Transform company initiatives into compelling content across all business and product lines by partnering closely with Sales, Product, Engineering, Communications, Customer Success, and Executive Leadership.
• Leverage AI and automation to dramatically increase content velocity, consistency, quality, and scale across research, transcription, drafting, video clipping, repurposing, translation, publishing, analytics, and workflow automation.
• Build repeatable processes that ensure every important initiative generates maximum impact across multiple channels and formats, including blog posts, LinkedIn, X, short- and long-form video, podcasts, email newsletters, customer communications, company websites, internal communications, presentations, and case studies.

• 10+ years of content marketing experience, including 3+ years leading and building teams in a high-growth B2B technology or fintech environment.
• Outstanding storytelling and editorial judgment in pursuit of building trust with a global audience across multiple formats and channels.
• An exceptional operator who isn’t afraid to build the playbook.
• Deep understanding and track record of leveraging AI-native content creation tools and marketing automation.
