Senior Content Marketing Manager

About the role

We're hiring a Senior Content Marketing Manager, reporting to the Senior Product Marketing Manager, to own Instrumentl's content ecosystem as we evolve from a grant discovery tool into a full-lifecycle grant operating system. You'll steward our editorial vision and brand voice across every channel, drive full-funnel growth, and shape how nonprofits discover and trust Instrumentl as the platform they can't live without.

What you'll do

SEO & Organic Growth

• Partner with growth product, agencies, and freelancers to grow SEO and GEO traffic quarter over quarter
• Guide keyword and topic strategy, set the bar for editorial quality, and develop subject matter expertise in grants and nonprofit fundraising
• Stay current on how generative search is reshaping content distribution and bring a POV on what to test

Editorial & Brand

• Develop and steward Instrumentl's editorial vision and brand voice across blog, newsletter, social, and events
• Build and run a content calendar where every asset earns its keep, turning one webinar or report into downstream pieces across channels
• Get hands-on with the highest-leverage work: original research, product copy, and flagship pieces where editorial judgment matters most

Full-funnel Content & AI Workflows

• Partner with product marketing and growth on ad campaigns, gated assets, landing pages, sales collateral, and nurture sequences
• Set up AI workflows the rest of the team can use to draft and QA on-brand copy quickly without diluting our voice
• Manage a roster of freelancers and agencies to execute at scale

What we're looking for

Required

• 6+ years of experience in content marketing or content strategy
• Experience owning both demand-gen content (SEO, gated assets) and editorial/brand-building content (thought leadership, original research)
• SEO and GEO fluency: keyword strategy, on-page execution, and technical SEO basics
• Strong writer with editorial judgment: you can spot AI slop, surface-level filler, or a clunky sentence at a glance
• Ability to quickly develop subject matter expertise in a complex domain through research and SME interviews

Nice to Have

• Experience with nonprofit, social impact, or mission-driven organizations
• Background in grants, fundraising, or nonprofit operations
• Experience managing freelancers and agency relationships

Compensation & Benefits

For US-based candidates, the target salary range for this role is $125,000 – $155,000 USD, plus equity. Final compensation is determined based on experience, skillset, scope of responsibility, interview performance, and geographic location. We're committed to paying competitively and equitably.

Benefits

• 100% covered health, dental, and vision insurance for employees (50% for dependents)
• Generous PTO, including parental leave
• 401(k)
• Company laptop and home-office stipend
• Bi-annual company retreats
