Senior Content Strategist

The Stories team is a small but mighty facet of our Brand team that works on all flavors of storytelling—from content marketing to editorial, social media and more. We’re your blog builders, Meridian magazine makers, email strategists, social managers, and video editors, working in close partnership with Design, Copy, Product Marketing, Comms, and other teams across Mercury. 

We’re looking for a creative and growth-oriented Content Strategist to help us evolve and scale our content programs—and deliver winning results. You’re a users-first builder and storyteller who’s as obsessed with bringing a new strategic vision to life as you are with the fine details of staging a blog post. You’re driven to cut through noise and deliver real value to entrepreneurial audiences—founders, business leaders, and others building business whether they’re bootstrapped or venture-backed, mom-and-pop or Silicon Valley, ecomm or SaaS. And you fear no dashboard—you take a highly organized and data-oriented approach to your work, leaving stakeholders cool, calm, and confident that you’re not just going to help build something good on paper, you’re going to learn, measure, and iterate, too.

In this role, you will:

• Write, edit, and ideate across channels including (but not limited to) our blog, social media, and newsletters.
• Work cross-functionally to develop and support organic content strategies that drive business results while further elevating our brand and delivering real value to our customers and community.
• Manage select content programs from planning to reporting, assignment to build, and chip in on others, demonstrating an owner’s mindset and upholding a high bar for quality.
• Exercise excellent judgment as you work with freelancers and vendors to help the Stories team produce and manage content at scale. 
• Holistically evaluate content-driven growth opportunities across our content distribution channels, and make recommendations that balance data, customer listening, and heart
• Be (or become) an Asana megastar, collaborating and communicating process with grace and transparency. 

You should:

• Have at least 8 years of Marketing experience, with a strong focus on multi-channel storytelling, content development, and project management. (While we’re looking for strong content marketing experience, we know that can take a lot of shapes—we care less about your titles and more about the realities of the work you’ve done!)
• Have impeccable writing and editing skills, with a penchant for bringing technical, financial, or other “formal” topics to life.
• Have general familiarity with SEO best practices
• Be experienced developing effective project and content briefs and working with freelancers and cross-functional teams to accomplish your objectives. 
• Be hungry to learn, build, and deliver best-in-class content, with a bias toward action without ever cutting corners.
• Be immediately comfortable working with Google suite and project management tools, and at ease learning new tools and platforms quickly. 

Nice to haves:

• Experience working in financial services or fintech
• Familiarity with the compliance rigor of working on content in a highly regulated industry
• Experience working with video, audio, or visual asset creation (or agencies that do so)
• Social or community experience 

To apply, please complete our application form, and include a cover letter and links to your portfolio, website, or clips. As this is a writing-oriented role, your cover letter is key to helping us understand how you tell stories—we will not consider applications without a cover letter.
