Job description

Omniscient is an organic growth agency that builds revenue-focused organic growth systems for B2B software companies - optimized for both search engines and generative AI.
We pride ourselves on being lean, agile, and experimental. Our team thrives on R&D and innovation, always exploring the smartest ways to deliver exceptional results. We believe in a culture of building and shipping - whether it's client deliverables, new services, or internal tools that keep us ahead of the game.
If you're looking for a role where you'll tackle challenging problems, work with ambitious brands, and help shape the future of organic growth, let's talk.
Learn about the principles that drive how we work and build a company.
About this role
We're looking for an Editorial Strategist who can internalize a client's brand, product, and competitive position and use that depth to produce and direct high-impact work across written and creative formats.
This isn't a traditional editor or content manager role. The Editorial Strategist sits close to clients, diagnoses problems, and comes up with creative solutions: written content, original research, designed assets, UX copy, ad copy, and more. The title says "editorial" because the foundation is still narrative: understanding how to tell a story, structure an argument, and communicate complex ideas clearly. And of course, you still need solid editorial chops, but the scope goes well beyond words on a page.
You'll work within our Creative function, which fuels every revenue-driving channel at the agency - on-page/organic growth, digital PR, and paid media. Your job is to understand what the channel strategists need, bring creative depth and original thinking to the table, and produce (or direct the production of) the assets that make those strategies succeed.
Candidates must be based -/+ 3 hours of Eastern Time.
What you'll do
  • Think strategically about client businesses. Own the creative strategy for your accounts. You'll be close enough to your clients' products and positioning to diagnose problems and propose solutions - not just execute briefs and content. When a client's landing page isn't converting, you don't just rewrite the copy to rank; you architect a solution that might involve copy, design, UX, or all three.
  • Produce and direct creative work across formats. Blog content and landing pages are table stakes. You'll also work on original research reports, data visualizations, ad copy, brand narratives, UX/UI copy, interactive tools, and other formats we haven't even invented yet. You don't need to be an expert in all of these today - but you need to be the kind of person who figures it out, often with AI as your co-pilot (not as your replacement).
  • Fuel the channel strategists. Work closely with channel strategists to understand what they need and produce the creative assets that make their strategies work - whether that's a content roadmap for organic, a research report that earns links for digital PR, or landing page copy for paid campaigns.
  • Use AI as an accelerant. We don't layer AI onto old processes - we rethink processes from scratch with AI as a native tool. You'll use AI to handle the compositional and operational work (drafting, editing, formatting, research synthesis) so you can spend your time on the strategic and creative work that AI can't do: original insight, brand judgment, narrative architecture, and opportunity diagnosis.
  • Own your clients' creative outcomes. You'll own the creative quality and strategic relevance of everything that goes out the door for your accounts. Manage project-level budgets, make contractor decisions, and operate with the autonomy of someone who understands both the creative work and the business context behind it.
  • Ship high-quality work. Ensure every creative asset - from a blog post to a research report to an ad variant - meets the highest standards and delivers measurable results. Quality is non-negotiable, speed is expected, and you know how to deliver both.

Time breakdown
Here's how your time might shake out:
  • 45%: Creative strategy, research, and production - building and producing the assets that fuel client growth
  • 20%: Client collaboration - working with channel strategists, joining client calls, understanding client needs and opportunities
  • 15%: AI experimentation and workflow building - finding smarter, faster ways to deliver exceptional creative work
  • 10%: Budget and contractor management - owning spend decisions and directing external resources
  • 10%: Team meetings, internal collaboration, and professional development

Who you are
  • You're a strategist first, a producer second. You think about why before what. You understand that a blog post is a means to an end, not the end itself. You're energized by diagnosing a client problem and architecting a creative solution.
  • You're creatively versatile. You might have started in editorial, content marketing, journalism, or brand strategy, but you've expanded beyond that. Written content, research, design direction, UX copy, emerging formats... if you don't know how to do something, you figure it out.
  • You're intellectually curious. You read widely. You're interested in how businesses grow, how products are positioned, how buyers make decisions. You go deep on a client's industry because you find it genuinely interesting - not because someone told you to.
  • You're AI-native. You already use AI tools in your workflow and believe in their impact as a co-pilot, not a creative replacement. You see AI as an amplifier for your thinking, not a threat to your craft. You're building workflows, experimenting with new tools, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
  • You're comfortable with ambiguity and change. We're building this role in real time. The scope will evolve. The tools will change. The services we offer will expand. You're not looking for a perfectly defined job; you're looking for a seat at the table where you can shape what the role becomes. (P.S. The passcode is OMNI2026.)
  • You have high agency. You raise your hand for new projects, flag opportunities on client calls, and build things without being asked. You can operate at 30,000 feet (brand strategy and client diagnosis) and 500 feet (writing a headline, directing a designer, QAing a deliverable).

How you benefit
  • Work from anywhere - we're a 100% remote company.
  • Competitive benefits:
    • Competitive pay + commissions
    • Unlimited PTO
    • Opportunity for quarterly profit share after one year of employment
    • Medical, dental, and vision insurance for US-based
    • 401k with employer match for US-based
    • Learning and development budget
    • Monthly networking stipend
    • An environment to grow your skills, confidence, and career
  • Option to travel with us to annual team retreats and workshops.
  • Collaborate with ambitious B2B brands and develop the strategic instincts to diagnose client problems, not just produce deliverables.
  • Help shape a new role at a company that's redefining what an agency creative team looks like.
  • Work across formats and channels - organic, digital PR, paid - gaining breadth that most editorial roles don't offer.
  • Ample opportunity to take on more responsibility and grow the business.
  • Build AI-native creative workflows that put you years ahead of the industry.
