• Create and maintain sales enablement materials — including one-pagers, case studies, email templates, and objection-handling guides — that equip the 20-person sales team to close more effectively.
• Design and manage conversion-optimized landing pages in WordPress, with a focus on A/B testing, CRO best practices, and measurable lead capture outcomes.
• Conduct keyword research and competitive analysis using SEMrush to inform SEO strategy, content prioritization, and gap identification against key competitors.
• Leverage AI-enabled workflows (Claude, OpenClaw, and LLM monitoring tools) to accelerate content production and distribution, while maintaining quality standards and brand voice.
• Build and maintain automation workflows using Zapier/Make and Clay to streamline lead enrichment, segmentation, and handoff between marketing and sales.
• Track and report on content performance using GA4 and Excel, attributing content efforts to pipeline metrics and delivering regular insights to leadership on traffic, conversion, and revenue impact.
• Coordinate project planning and cross-functional communication through Slack and Notion, maintaining transparency on campaign status, deliverables, and deadlines.

Skills:

• Content strategy, SEO, and organic growth — with hands-on proficiency in SEMrush for keyword research, competitive analysis, and rank tracking.
• Email marketing and marketing automation via ActiveCampaign, including nurture sequences, segmentation, and behavioral triggers for high-ticket B2C sales cycles.

• Marketing automation and lead enrichment using Zapier/Make and Clay, including workflow design, data mapping, and integration with CRM and outreach tools.
• Strong copywriting skills across all formats — long-form editorial, short-form social, email subject lines, ad copy, and sales enablement materials.
• Data analysis and performance reporting in GA4 and Excel, with the ability to build attribution models connecting content output to revenue outcomes.
• Visual content creation and design in Canva for social media assets, landing page graphics, and sales collateral.

Requirements:

• Excellent written communication skills with the ability to produce compelling content independently and on a scale, without over-reliance on AI generation for core strategy or messaging.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple content streams, deadlines, and stakeholders simultaneously in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment.
