Full Job Description
The Role

As our first Developer Relations hire, you'll single handedly own technical content marketing, product marketing, and brand marketing at Phonic. You won't be one spoke in a big marketing org, you'll be the whole wheel. A typical day might start with editing a technical blog post the team drafted, tightening it into something sharp enough to publish that week, then move into crafting posts for our social accounts, then jumping in to help push a deal forward so it doesn't stall. You'll work closely on sales to make sure every deal keeps moving.

What You'll Do
  • Write and edit technical blog posts turning drafts from the team (engineers, founders) into clean, publishable content for a technical audience
  • Own product marketing translating what we're building into positioning and messaging that customers and prospects immediately understand
  • Own brand marketing, building and maintaining a consistent, compelling voice for Phonic across every channel
  • Write and post witty, sharp content for our company social media accounts
  • Support the sales pipeline taking on deal next steps (follow-ups, materials, coordination) to keep every deal moving with velocity

What You'll Bring
  • Clean, coherent writing: You can take a rough draft, technical or not, and make it tight and clear
  • A wit and voice for social media: You write posts that are sharp and memorable, not corporate-bland
  • Storytelling ability: You can turn "what we built" into a compelling, coherent vision of where we're going
  • A degree from a top school
  • 2-5 years of relevant experience (content marketing, product marketing, brand marketing, DevRel, or similar)

Nice to Have
  • Interest in sales/ops - comfortable taking deal next steps and helping close
  • Prior Developer Relations experience elsewhere (agencies, other startups, or larger dev-tool companies)
  • Former VC
  • Former MBA
  • You don't need to be deeply technical to succeed in this role

Benefits
  • Top-tier compensation: in order to get the best talent, we provide salary and equity that recognize your skillset
  • 🥗 Meals: free breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided in the office
  • Healthcare: Comprehensive health, dental, and vision
  • We have regular off-sites and team celebrations
