Content Marketing Lead // Remote
đź’ˇA bit about our business
What we do in one line đź’¬
The problem we're trying to solve 🧩
In the U.S. alone, media and entertainment companies are investing $120B on original content *every year.* With over 200+ streaming services globally, this boom in original content has also been accompanied by market fragmentation and more difficulty in understanding what you should watch, and where you can watch that content.
How we’re currently solving the problem 💡
Flixed produces content to target search terms like “How to Watch [TV Show/Movie/Live Sports Event].” A large percentage of our content production is currently programmatic. This means that we use a combination of data and code to create content pages at scale. Here’s an example of a programmatically generated page. When a user arrives on one of these pages and purchases a streaming subscription, we receive a commission.
Why we’re hiring a Content Marketing Lead 🤔
While automating content production has served us well until now, we know we need to start placing more emphasis on our holistic content strategy. This means directing our content budget, hiring freelance writers to supplement our existing content library, crafting a holistic content marketing strategy, and working with our product teams on the overall Flixed user experience.

👩🏼‍🚀 Your 12-month roadmap
1 month
- Get to know the team: We’re hoping to do our second-ever company retreat in May of 2022, so if you join before then we’d love to meet you in person. Before that, you’ll also have plenty of time to meet all of your colleagues and get settled virtually.

- Draft your strategy: After getting up to speed on people and processes, we’ll lean on you to craft a long-term content strategy. This will include identifying KPIs, setting goals, deciding on how to organize the various types of content we produce, and giving us an idea of the resources you’ll need to execute on your vision.
3 months

- Collaborate with our R&D team: While scaling our human-written content operations, you’ll also do a deep-dive with our R&D team to envision how machine-generated content will be factored into our content strategy. How do combine the best of human-written and AI/machine-generated content?
