Role
Who you are
- 4+ years in content strategy or technical editing. Proven experience in B2B Infrastructure, Cloud, or Open-Source a major plus. You must be able to "talk shop" with engineers and product managers
- Experience working with Product Marketing messaging frameworks to create cohesive, unified content journeys
- You can clearly articulate the different motivations of a user vs. a buyer. You know that they care about different things and have different pain points
- You have a natural ability to spot marketing fluff and replace it with technical substance and real-world evidence
- You use AI tools as a force multiplier to scale content without sacrificing the soul of the technical narrative
- You can manage internal stakeholders, freelance writers, and cross-functional deadlines with minimal supervision
- You possess exceptional written and verbal skills. You are a people person who knows how to build rapport with busy engineers and Product Managers to extract deep technical insights and feed the content engine
- You have elite organizational skills. You are comfortable managing a high-volume workload and a complex editorial calendar without letting the small details (or the deadlines) slip
What the job involves
- As the Content Strategist, you are the editorial voice and narrative lead for Aiven. You create high-impact stories tailored to two distinct audiences: the Developer/Architect and the Senior Executive/CTO
- You are responsible for the entire content lifecycle: from high-level strategy and mapping the buyer journey to hands-on finessing of technical copy
- You will collaborate closely with domain experts (Engineers, Product Managers, DevRel) to translate complex infrastructure topics into compelling, authentic stories
- We are looking for a modern storyteller who can leverage AI to scale production while ensuring our output remains deeply technical, authentic, human, and free of marketing fluff
- Persona-Driven Content Mapping: Own the matrix of "Who, What, and Where." You will define which topics, language, and medium (Blogs, Whitepapers, Videos, Code Snippets) are required to move a Developer through a trial and a CTO through an enterprise deal
- Manage a high-velocity calendar that balances user content (how-to guides, performance benchmarks, API documentation) with executive content (ROI studies, POV topical pieces, industry thought leadership)
- Partner with Aiven’s domain experts to extract their knowledge. You will take raw technical drafts and polish them into high-value assets, ensuring the language is sophisticated enough for an engineer but accessible enough for a busy leader
- You will use LLMs to rapidly brainstorm angles, draft outlines, and transform a single technical interview into 10+ multi-channel assets, from a LinkedIn thread to an executive summary
- Partner closely with the Product Marketing team to internalize core messaging frameworks and value propositions. You ensure that every piece of content is a consistent reflection of the Aiven brand and product strategy
- Lead the transformation of raw customer case studies and success stories into multi-format assets. You will find the human and technical win in our customer data to create evidence-based content that builds trust with prospects
- Ensure our content lives in the right format for the right persona and in a centralised place
- Use data to identify where our persona coverage is thin. You will proactively commission or write content to fill gaps in the buyer journey that are stalling deals or trials
