Creative Content Strategist, Manager

The Role

You will own and optimize Single Grain’s content engine end to end. This is not a coordinator role. You are both the strategist and the operator.

Your job is to turn content into qualified inbound opportunities.

You will deeply understand how content and social media channels actually work, build AI powered systems that increase leverage, and create the foundation for scale. Every asset must have a defined outcome. Every experiment must have a hypothesis. Every month must show iteration.

About Single Grain

Single Grain is a fast moving, award winning, AI driven digital marketing agency. We have been helping top brands like Amazon, Uber, and Salesforce grow since 2009. We specialize in Paid Media, SEO, Content Marketing, CRO, and more, powered by a lean, high performing team focused on smart, impactful work.

We do not just use AI, we build it. We have created proprietary AI tools including Karrot.ai, an AI powered performance marketing system that generates ads, landing pages, and campaign assets in seconds, and ClickFlow, an AI driven SEO experimentation platform that helps teams identify content opportunities, optimize pages, and increase organic traffic through systematic testing and workflow automation.

These tools are not side projects. They are embedded into how we operate and how we serve clients.

We practice what we preach. Our podcast has 150 plus million downloads, and more than 193,000 marketers subscribe to our YouTube channel.

We move quickly, push hard, and expect a lot from ourselves and each other. AI is not just a tool we use. It is core to how we operate, from creative to strategy to execution. Our long term vision is to build a small but elite team that stays lean, scrappy, and relentlessly focused on tech enabled innovation and measurable business impact.

We do not micromanage. We do not hire people who need their hands held. But we do collaborate deeply, give honest feedback, and leave space for mistakes, growth, and iteration. No egos. No fluff. Just people who care about doing great work and supporting each other.

What You'll Do

• Own the primary KPI: drive Qualified Inbound Opportunities from organic content per quarter, defined as sales qualified opportunities that originate from or clearly cite via qualitative data, organic content or social media channels and enter pipeline within the quarter.
• Build and manage a rolling 30, 60, 90 day content roadmap aligned to product priorities, SEO opportunities, demand gen initiatives, and founder positioning.
• Ensure 100 percent of content assets include a clear objective, defined ICP, documented distribution plan, defined success metrics, and a next step CTA.
• Grow subscribers or followers on at least 2 priority platforms while maintaining no more than a 5 percent decline in average reach per post as pipeline contribution increases.
• Maintain or improve engagement rate and increase meaningful ICP interactions month over month.
• Deliver a monthly performance report outlining what worked, what did not, and specific changes being implemented.
• Operate deeply in at least 2 core platforms such as YouTube, LinkedIn, X, or Instagram, continuously optimizing hooks, titles, thumbnails, format structure, cadence, and CTAs.
• Run structured experiments around packaging, posting cadence, and format with documented hypotheses and results.
• Write clear edit briefs, direct thumbnail and title strategy, and own final QA before publishing.
• Maintain an organized clip tagging and content repository system for reuse and leverage.
• Ensure a minimum of 3 derivative assets per long form piece across social, email, SEO, or paid amplification.
• Define amplification plans per asset including SEO integration, newsletter placement, social repurposing, and paid support where relevant.
• Use AI in 80 percent or more of drafting and production workflows, with strong human QA to protect brand voice and positioning.
• Reduce content production cycle time by 20 to 30 percent through AI assisted workflows and process optimization.

Non Negotiable Requirements

• Put “AI is cool” as the first line of your cover letter or subject line, or your application will not be reviewed.
