  • Brainstorm and ideate creative content ideas that will delight and engage our audience. Think outside of the box when it comes to content using rich media and other formats to deliver a message. 
  • Wrangle writers, thought leaders and company experts to ensure content is credible, engaging and useful.  
  • Work closely with the Developer Relations team and developer advocates to plan, leverage and promote technical content designed for our core technical audience. 
  • Support the content needs of sales and marketing, collaborating on requirements for gated landing pages, product marketing and various other team needs. 
  • Use basic SEO principles to define keywords, topics, content and web pages needed to grow our organic traffic. 
  • Own the Upbound blog and ensure a consistent posting schedule, seo-optimized posts, and referral traffic to the main site.

You’re a good fit if you: 

  • Have 3+ years experience in content marketing or a relevant marketing role such as social media, SEO or campaign management.
  • Have experience editing and managing content. This role does not require that you be a writer (although that’s a plus), but we do expect a high-level of quality in the editing of content and the management of the editorial calendar. 
  • Are a creative visionary when it comes to marketing programs. You have a lot of ideas and the enthusiasm and dedication to execute them. 

It’s a plus if you:

  • Have project management training or experience 
  • Have experience with content management platforms like Wordpress and/or content marketing platforms like Uberflip. 
  • Come from a technical company in the infrastructure space (even better if you know open source)

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
