We are looking for a modern, distribution-first content leader to evolve Skai’s content strategy for the next phase of growth.

  • Expand personality-led, video-first storytelling across LinkedIn, YouTube, and emerging channels
  • Manage and scale “Retail Media Thursdays,” optimizing format, reach, and pipeline contribution
  • Develop recurring formats, oversee publishing cadence, and guide high-performing scripts and narratives


Influencer & Community-Led Growth


  • Build and scale influencer and creator partnerships within adtech and commerce media
  • Activate customers and partners through structured advocacy, co-marketing, and UGC programs
  • Translate Skai’s proprietary data and insights into shareable, conversation-driving content


Demand Generation & Performance Alignment


  • Align content to demand generation and ABM priorities
  • Support middle-of-funnel conversion and sales acceleration
  • Define and track engagement, audience growth, share of voice, and pipeline contribution
  • Leverage AI tools and experimentation to continuously improve performance


Requirements:


  • 5–8 years in B2B SaaS content, social, brand, or community marketing
  • Proven experience building video-first or social-led content programs
  • Experience managing influencer or creator partnerships
  • Experience aligning content to demand generation and ABM programs
  • Strong understanding of distribution, platform algorithms, and audience growth mechanics
  • Commercial mindset with the ability to connect content performance to revenue outcomes
  • Fluent user of generative AI tools and modern content workflows
  • Exceptional writing and storytelling skills and ability to operate with high autonomy
