• Strong writing skills, capable of writing both punchy social posts and substantive blog posts with a clear, direct voice and self-editing.
• Product marketing fluency, understanding positioning, messaging hierarchy, and translating technical capability into customer-facing language.
• Experience executing multi-channel campaigns under tight timelines, adapting to changes in launch dates.
• High critical thinking skills, asking 'why' before 'how', pushing back on bad ideas, and bringing reasoning to recommendations.

Nice To Haves

• Background in or genuine passion for aerospace, defense, or deep technology.

• Develop product marketing capabilities for Merlin's growing product family by deeply understanding the core product, customers, and competitive context, and translating this into compelling positioning, messaging, and content for defense, aviation, and investor audiences.
• Manage Merlin's social media presence (LinkedIn, X, YouTube, and emerging channels) by developing an always-on content rhythm that builds audience between launches and amplifies announcements, with a focus on strategic posting rather than just scheduling.
• Coordinate cross-functionally with Comms, Flight Ops, Programs, and the CEO to track upcoming milestones, extract stories, and build content around them before the moment passes, building relationships and earning trust with technical teams.
• Support influencer and media engagement by identifying external voices, coordinating content, managing relationships with aviation and defense content creators, and orchestrating synchronized drops.
