Description
Subscript is an early-stage startup focused on making life better for B2B SaaS finance leaders.
We’re backed by top-tier investors like First Round Capital as well as execs from Looker, Gusto, Postman, Plaid and others. We’re looking for our first Content Marketing Manager to help continue our rapid growth!
In this role, you’ll help Subscript become a content powerhouse while you grow your marketing career with us!
The way we work:
At Subscript, we do things differently and we're proud of that:
- First, you should know that every job at Subscript (including this one) is completely remote. You can truly work from wherever you want! You’ll have co-workers in San Francisco, Portugal, Brazil, England, Vietnam, Canada and many other places. 😄
- We are an asynchronous team - we don't do scheduled internal meetings, and we rely on each team member to communicate clearly in writing and with recorded videos. If you're sick of pointless meetings, this is the place for you! In fact, you’ll soon notice that most of this interview process is going to be asynchronous. We told you we do things differently!
- We're a team that loves working together - we love playing board games (these we do synchronously 🙂). Full-time team members meet up multiple times per year for live offsites around the world (expenses paid!)
- Like all start-ups we're scrappy, but not scrappy on compensation: Subscript is committed to paying our awesome team members at market rate!
The role you’ll play on our team:
- As our first Content Marketing Manager, not only are you going to be responsible for creating all of our content, you’re also in charge of strategically guiding us to ensure we’re creating the right type of content. You need to be strategic, but also need to roll up your sleeves and get stuff done.
- Fortunately, Subscript is already well known for its terrific content. Not only do we have a collection of thoughtful written content, but we also have a well-respected video podcast that has featured thought leaders like the CFO of Braze, the CFO of ThoughtSpot and the CFO of Gainsight. Now, it’s up to you to build upon that foundation. Finance leaders at B2B SaaS companies are eager for great content and we’re counting on you to keep impressing them.
- You’re joining as the second or third marketer on our team. You’ll partner with our Head of Marketing and you’ll be a key reason that Subscript is successful. We hope you’ll look back in five years and be tremendously proud of the content marketing engine you built.
- To be a good fit for this role you likely need 2-5 years of content marketing experience at a B2B SaaS company.
Traits you’ll need to be great in this role:
- A sponge - To excel in this role you’ll need to be a great learner who is eager to become an even better content marketer.
- Talented and prolific writer - You need to be a gifted writer who absolutely loves the craft of using words to inspire people. And, at the same time, you need to be able to overcome writer’s block, or the need to be perfect. We’re counting on you to create a large volume of high-quality content. In two years we’d like to be known for our incredible content throughout the world of B2B SaaS, and you’ll be the driving force to get us there.
- Flexibility - We believe in creating a wide variety of content here at Subscript and you’ll be in charge of all of it! For example, in a week you might write blog posts, produce a video podcast, craft some LinkedIn posts, and put together an email series. That’s really just scratching the surface!
- Bias toward action - In this role you’ll role up your sleeves and do a lot of work. This isn’t a simply a content strategy role - we’re just too early in our adventure for that. Instead, you’re leading content strategy, while also leading content production and content analysis. There will be resources to help you along the way, but you’ll only be successful if you love jumping in and creating things.
- Resourceful - You’re great at figuring things out!
The interview process
We like to be really transparent about everything at Subscript, including our interview process!
Our interview process is designed to focus on the traits listed above, as well as your ability to communicate clearly (both written and via recorded video). We're a fully asynchronous company, so that's how we will mostly communicate in this interview process too 🙂.
1. First, you’ll fill out the application. This also involves answering a couple of questions.
2. Next, you’ll complete an exercise where you write a Subscript blog post. We’ll never publish this writing (unless *you* decide to publish it once you’re hired). We’re eager to see if you can understand our ICP and create something they’d find compelling.
3. Then, you’ll complete your final exercise where you’ll create a launch plan for an episode of our video podcast.
4. Lastly, you’ll meet with Phil Sharp, our Head of Marketing. This will be a casual conversation where he’ll have some questions for you, but will also save a lot of time for whatever is on your mind!
5. And finally, hopefully we'll send you an offer. And hopefully you'll accept!
