About The Position

We are seeking a Content Operations Lead to own the content lifecycle for our clients. This role involves managing content calendars, assigning and briefing writers, editing all content to ensure quality, and developing style guides, briefs, and AI workflows based on client brand rules. The ideal candidate will be proactive in identifying and fixing recurring errors at their source, rather than on a draft-by-draft basis. This position requires a strong editorial eye, AI-native working habits, and the ability to manage multiple projects and clients efficiently. We are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, AI-driven environment and is comfortable with ambiguity and high expectations.

• Daily use of AI tools like Claude Code and cloud agent workflows.
• Proficiency in writing prompts, building agents, and developing systems for AI output.
• Proactive ownership and initiative; ability to identify and address gaps without being told.
• Ability to manage deadlines and ambiguity effectively.
• Clear communication skills, especially in unclear situations.
• 3+ years of editing or managing content, preferably in an agency or SEO/content marketing setting.

Nice To Haves

• Background in journalism, editorial publishing, or literary editing.
• Experience with SEO and AEO content.
• Experience briefing or managing a team of writers.
• Familiarity with ClickUp, Google Workspace, and an SEO platform like Search Atlas.

Responsibilities

• Own content calendars across all active accounts, ensuring deadlines are visible and realistic.
• Assign and brief writers, matching work to their strengths.
• Edit every piece of content before it reaches a Client Success Manager (CSM), returning it if not ready.
• Translate client brand rules into style guides, briefs, and AI workflows.
• Address and fix recurring errors at their source.

Benefits

• Opportunity for real ownership.
• Fast-paced environment.
• Continuous improvement and raising the bar.
• Work with smart people.
• Work on a product that keeps getting better.
• Be part of a team building something new.
