Founder's Associate, Office of the CEO

Podium•Lehi, UT

About The Position

Podium is seeking an AI-pilled, social media-savvy Content Writer to amplify the CEO's social media presence and build a founder-led content program. The primary output will be founder content, published regularly on owned social channels. The role involves developing a point of view on AI and local business trends, learning the CEO's voice, immersing in Podium's activities, and translating this into engaging posts, threads, and narratives. The goal is to position Podium as a leading voice in applied AI, building market confidence and driving sales through inbound interest, deal credibility, and category authority. This is a high-visibility, high-accountability role requiring extreme ownership, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.

Requirements

2+ years in executive communications, content (editorial / technical / organic social), executive-facing roles (chief of staff, EA) or product.
Exceptional writer and storyteller: able to produce sharp hooks, long-form POVs, and a resonant narrative.
Deep AI fluency: understands the tools, the conversation, the zeitgeist; actively uses AI in their own workflows and is genuinely excited to build agents and automations around content.
Extreme ownership bias and proactivity.
Hungry to scale impact at high velocity.
High executive presence: can sit in a room with the CEO, ask good questions, and develop story angles that are relevant and provocative.
Can transform raw material into a steady stream of high impact content for a specific voice.
Very organized; can autonomously manage a social media calendar, reporting, and content generation steps to take full ownership of the performance of social channels.
High output and low ego -- can produce a lot, take feedback, iterate fast, and not be precious about drafts.
Strong understanding of the B2B SaaS / AI / local business landscape — can write with credibility, not just fluency.
