Content Marketing Specialist

Percona • Lisbon, BC

37d • Remote

About The Position

We are looking for an ambitious, growth-minded Content & Social Media Coordinator who wants to build real marketing experience across multiple disciplines, not just check boxes in one lane. This role sits at the intersection of content, social, and customer storytelling, and is designed for someone who is ready to own meaningful work from day one and grow fast.
You'll manage our social media agency relationship and content calendar, lead our case study production process, handle blog publishing and website updates, and work directly with AI tools as part of daily content workflows. You'll collaborate closely with our Senior Content Strategist & AI Content Lead and have broad visibility across the full content function, giving you the kind of diverse, hands-on experience that accelerates a marketing career quickly.
If you’re early in your marketing career and want to learn fast, this role is unusually broad for a coordinator-level position — in a good way! You’ll work across social, content, customer storytelling, and AI-powered production, collaborating with senior marketers who are invested in your development. We’re not looking for someone to stay in a lane; we’re looking for someone ready to grow out of this role and into something bigger!
