Content Marketing, Director

AssemblyAI is a remote-first AI company building powerful deep learning models for developers, startups, and enterprises to transcribe and understand their audio data.
Our Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) models already outperform companies like Google, AWS, and Microsoft - which is why hundreds of companies and thousands of developers are using our APIs to transcribe and understand millions of videos, podcasts, phone calls, and zoom meetings every day. Our APIs power innovative products like conversational intelligence platforms, zoom meeting summarizers, content moderation, and automatic closed captioning.

AssemblyAI's Speech-to-Text APIs are already trusted by Fortune 500s, startups, and thousands of developers around the world, with well-known customers including Spotify, Algolia, Dow Jones, Happy Scribe, BBC, The Wall Street Journal, and NBCUniversal. As part of a huge and emerging market, AssemblyAI is well on its way to becoming the leader in speech recognition and NLP.

We're growing at breakneck speed, and recently announced our Series B round. We've raised $63M in total funding, and are backed by leading investors including Insight Partners, Accel, Y Combinator, Patrick and John Collision (Founders of Stripe), Nat Friedman (Former CEO of GitHub), and Daniel Gross (Entrepreneur & Investor in companies including GitHub, Uber & SpaceX)!

Our ambition is to build an iconic AI company, making advanced deep learning technology accessible to everyday developers through a simple API, good docs, and a great developer experience.

The Role

AssemblyAI is growing quickly, and we're searching for a Director of Content Marketing to drive the vision and execute growth in our organic traffic both on our blog and across our website. This role would report directly to our VP of Developer Relations and Growth Marketing in the Marketing department.

In this role you'll have the opportunity to:

• Drive growth in our organic search traffic metrics and lifecycle events such as signups and "talk to sales" hand-raisers.
• Define and execute our content marketing approach, first by working hands on, then by building a team of vendors, freelancers and FTEs who can follow a replicable pattern for organic traffic growth across our website.
• Analyze and monitor content effectiveness and hold each piece we publish to high standards for clarity and technical accuracy.
• Build an external team of vendors/freelancers to develop a comprehensive editorial calendar and overall content strategy designed to boost awareness, traffic, and engagement.
• Work closely with the Developer Relations team to ensure we capitalize on high intent keyword search traffic where possible, and maintain consistent high standards for content output across Marketing.
  

Requirements

• Deep expertise with search engine optimization (SEO) and proven experience mapping SEO initiatives to company growth imperatives
• Significant experience executing content marketing to drive organic search traffic, and managing content marketing programs as we invest in this go-to market approach
• The ability to articulate the why behind your content creation, not just the how
• A strong point of view when it comes to content creation
• Copyediting experience with best-in-class standards for editorial quality. In addition, you bring an immaculate attention to detail in writing style
• An aptitude for explaining technical topics in a digestible way
• Knowledge of tools that can measure results, such as Google Analytics and PostHog, and the ability to provide context behind our results and communicate them to colleagues. The specific tools you've previously used are less important than knowing what to measure and why
• Prior experience at technical companies, particularly ones with API as a primary product with a usage-based business model
  

Skills

• Ability to effectively communicate complex technical topics in a simple way
• You are a self-starter, well organized, creative, results-oriented, quality minded and a team-first player
• Great relationship builder
