Content Assistant - Founder-Led Marketing
We’re looking for a high-performing, creative, and scrappy Content Assistant to power the founder-led content engine for a fast-growing media startup. You’ll work closely with the CEO to produce strategic, engaging content for platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter/X—shaping the founder’s voice into a compelling public presence.
This is not a role for someone who needs constant direction. You’ll have access to tons of ideas, references, and voice notes—but execution, energy, and cultural fluency are on you. If you understand startup culture, speak fluent Gen Z/Millennial internet, and have strong design instincts, this is your shot.

- Adapt voice memos, interview clips, and insights into sharp content for LinkedIn/X
- Repurpose newsletter snippets into engaging short-form posts
- Edit short-form video content (Reels, TikToks) that feels native to the platform
Light Design & Creative Support
- Create on-brand visuals, quote cards, and carousels using Figma or Canva
- Collaborate with the founder on content concepts, hooks, and experiments
- Work with minimalist, modern design references; must have strong taste
Performance & Optimization
- Track reach, engagement, and follower growth
- Suggest weekly improvements based on what’s working
- Stay on top of creator economy trends, LinkedIn growth strategies, and startup memes
✅ Who You Are
- Fluent in English and American internet/startup culture (terminology, tone, memes)
- 2+ years experience in content creation, social media, or founder-led brand building
- Strong copywriting instincts and can match voice/tone across multiple post types
- Comfortable in tools like Figma, Canva, CapCut, or similar
- Excellent at independent execution and fast turnarounds
- Bonus: Interest in news, tech, startups, or entrepreneurship
- Bonus: You’ve built or ghostwritten for a personal brand before
How to Apply
Please submit:
- ✅ Your updated resume
- ✅ A 1–2 minute Loom video introducing yourself and your experience with founder-led content
- ✅ A portfolio that includes:
- Examples of copywriting or social media posts you’ve created (especially LinkedIn/X/Instagram)
- At least 2–3 short-form videos (Reels, TikToks, or YouTube Shorts) you’ve edited or produced
