About your team and your mission

You will join a close‑knit content team within the Marketing department, reporting directly to the Brand and Content Director. In this role, you will help raise the bar for GitGuardian’s content by turning complex technical ideas into clear, compelling stories for developer, security, and business audiences.

We are looking for an exceptional writer who understands marketing strategy and knows how to create content that is useful, credible, and engaging. You should be comfortable writing about technical concepts, collaborating with subject matter experts, and shaping content for different audiences, stages of the buyer journey, and search intents.

• Write and edit high‑quality content across formats, including blog posts, whitepapers, guides, PR bylines, and web copy.
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear, engaging, and audience‑appropriate content for developers, security leaders, and other technical or business stakeholders.
• Develop strong narratives that connect audience pain points, market trends, GitGuardian’s expertise, and the buyer journey.
• Apply content marketing best practices around audience, intent, funnel stage, SEO/AEO, readability, and conversion without sacrificing editorial quality.
• Partner with internal subject matter experts across product, security, developer relations, sales, and marketing to source insights and turn them into compelling content.
• Manage and maintain the content calendar, ensuring consistent delivery across key formats, campaigns, and strategic priorities.
• Support the evolution of GitGuardian’s SEO/AEO approach by identifying content opportunities, optimizing new and existing content, and staying aware of changes in search and LLM‑powered discovery.
• Use tools such as Ahrefs, Google Search Console, Scrunch, Google Analytics, and HubSpot to evaluate content performance and inform recommendations.
• Manage relationships with external authors, guest writers, freelancers, and content partners; actively source new contributors when needed.
• Support the demand generation team with campaign content, landing page copy, email copy, and other assets as needed.
• Provide occasional copywriting support to other teams across the organization.
• Brainstorm and pitch new topic ideas for thought leadership, media coverage, PR opportunities, and owned content programs.
