To empower engineering teams to build the future faster.
Role
Who you are
- You’ve produced content that makes people stop what they’re doing to dig in
- Whether it’s written, video, or multimedia, your work is high quality, deeply researched, and made to deliver insight—not fluff
- You know what good looks like, and how to get there efficiently
- You bring a journalist’s nose for a good story and a marketer’s instinct for what drives action
- And while you don’t need an engineering degree, you do need the ability (and desire) to learn complex technical topics fast—because surface-level content won’t cut it with this audience
- You’re also an elite project manager
- You don't wait to be asked for updates—they're already in Slack, along with the timeline, draft link, and next steps
- You know how to manage complexity without dropping the ball
- 6+ years in content marketing, journalism, or a related field
- Proven ability to create content that drives engagement, shares, and discussion
- Strong command of editorial judgment, narrative structure, and voice
- Experience working with or marketing to technical audiences
- Outstanding project management and communication skills
- Bonus: background in SaaS, industrial tech, or engineering-focused markets
What the job involves
- Our marketing team operates around three core activities: campaign strategy, content creation, and repurposing + distribution
- The Director of Content Marketing owns the second one—content creation
- We’ve built a tight feedback loop between leadership, content, and distribution, and we’re looking for someone who can take our campaign strategies and turn them into exceptional pillar content that moves the needle
- You’ll be responsible for creating the type of content that engineers don’t just read—they share it with their teams, reference it in meetings, and bookmark it for later
- Whether it’s a long-form report, a 30-minute talk, or a 10-minute video, your job is to turn strategy into substance
- This is not a team management role—but it is a leadership one
- You’ll lead content development from concept to publish, and orchestrate all the moving parts needed to get there
- You’ll work closely with the CMO, Director of Demand Generation, and Senior Brand Designers to create pillar content that anchors our campaigns
- You’ll also work with freelancers and agencies, and occasionally work cross-functionally with teams like sales, product marketing, or customer success when their input is needed for a project
- Develop high-quality pillar content (long-form, video, multimedia) for strategic marketing campaigns
- Conduct deep research, interviews, and analysis to inform content
- Collaborate with brand design to bring content to life visually
- Partner with demand generation to support distribution across channels
- Own end-to-end content workflows, including freelancers and external partners
- Contribute strategic ideas during campaign planning
Our take
The mechanical design process requires lots of back-and-forth between engineers, designers and business stakeholders who are giving and acting on feedback. Getting everybody on the same page is time-consuming, and comes with lots of admin and flitting between different platforms, whilst important information slips between the cracks.
This is why CoLab has built a cloud-based platform for collaborative mechanical design and reviewing. It integrates into the existing stack of design and engineering teams to bring together all the teams involved in early-stage design. Basically, the platform pools data, feedback, tracking issues, emails, spreadsheets and notebooks into one collaborative space.
Ultimately, CoLab is a simple way to collaborate on concepts and projects at the planning stage, thus nipping in the bud any problems that could arise down the line. With an impressive Series B fundraise, the company plans to scale up its market push, explore the possibilities of AI and expand its team.
