Full Job Description
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

Instrumentl is evolving rapidly. You'll always have new challenges and opportunities to grow here.
