Content Marketing & Creative Lead

• Shape the overarching story for founders and SMBs about how Pilot’s AI + human experts deliver elite financial operations at an accessible price.
• Craft positioning and messaging that helps bookkeeping firms understand the value of partnering with—or joining—Pilot.
• Develop narrative frameworks that ecosystem partners (CDFIs, SBDCs, trade associations) can confidently adopt when referring businesses to Pilot.

• Build content that moves founders from “my books are overwhelming” to “Pilot has this handled so I can grow.”
• Design parallel content journeys for bookkeeping firms and ecosystem partners, from “why would I work with Pilot?” to “this makes me more effective at serving my community/clients.”
• Build a roadmap across formats: short video, live event scripts, written explainers, templates, and partner assets.

• Concept and script social-first short-form video.
• Develop outlines for panels and roundtables to highlight subject-matter experts and generate repurposable content.
• Write long-form content such as guides, teardowns, and playbooks about margins, cash flow, and modern back-office operations.
• Produce simple visual storyboards and repeatable content series.

• Use AI for research synthesis, outlining, summarization, and first drafts.
• Turn signature content moments (live events, deep dives) into multi-asset content families.
• Build scrappy systems and workflows that enable high output with minimal resourcing.

• Extract insights from Pilot’s internal finance experts, customers, and ecosystem partners.
• Translate interviews, calls, and raw data into structured narratives and market-facing content.

• Define simple, clear KPIs for your work, such as:
• Engagement and conversion on founder-, firm-, and partner-focused assets.
• Content-influenced leads and opportunities from SMBs and bookkeeping firms.
• Partner with Demand Gen, Marketing Ops, RevOps, and Product Marketing to understand what’s working and adjust your roadmap accordingly.
• Experiment with different hooks, lengths, visuals, and formats for each audience and double down on the ones that consistently build trust and drive action.

• Senior, collaborative teammates – You’ll work with experienced demand gen, social media, product marketing, partner/local programs, and ops folks who know their craft and respect yours. You bring the stories and creative formats; they bring distribution, data, and GTM alignment.
• Tight partnership with leadership – You’ll be close to decisions and able to see your work turn into real programs quickly, not stuck in layers of approvals.
• Room to experiment – The team values testing and learning. You’ll have space to try new formats, angles, and ideas as long as we’re learning and getting sharper each time.
• Access to rich raw material – 3,000+ customers, deep finance expertise in-house, and a growing partner ecosystem mean you’ll never be short on stories, data points, or real-world examples.
• Mission that actually matters – You’ll help make high-quality financial operations accessible to the kinds of businesses that usually get left behind through content that genuinely helps them.

• You have a strong portfolio of work that shows you can explain complex topics in a clear, engaging way.
• You’re excited by the idea of living in the bookkeeping / SMB finance / small business ecosystem and turning that world into content that founders, bookkeeping firms, and partner organizations actually want to watch and read.
• You’re comfortable being both the thinker and the doer. You like owning the idea and making the thing.
• You’re scrappy: you enjoy figuring out how to make a lot with a little, using AI, systems, and creativity more than large budgets.
• You’re curious about AI tools and already use them to move faster and be more creative.
• You care that your work helps real people: founders, small business owners, bookkeeping firms, and the ecosystems that support them to get to better outcomes.
