About the role

  • Own the end-to-end content strategy, spanning SEO, awareness content, mid-funnel conversion content, and product-related narratives.
  • Take the raw ingredients we already have — a content library, brand voice, data, subject-matter experts in home and auto insurance and home loans, and a brand committed to simple language — and turn them into a cohesive content engine that educates, informs, and shapes how people think about protecting their home.
  • Be hands-on with content execution while leading and mentoring a small, high-output team made up of our senior editor, copywriter, and our senior SEO manager.
  • Write or edit, and ship high-impact content including:
  • SEO pillar pages, cluster articles, and comparison content
  • Data journalism-style storytelling, and long-form guides
  • One-pagers, briefs, and product explainers
  • Work closely with SEO, Product, and Growth Marketing to align content with keyword intent, funnel stages, and conversion goals.
  • Obsess about measurement and iteration, using performance data to continuously optimize content for traffic quality, engagement, and pipeline impact.
  • Partner with legal to ensure accurate, compliant content.
  • Support growth marketing and internal communications with copy edit/review needs.
  • Coordinate with internal marketing communications partners, including organic and paid channel owners, to create and optimize content calendars, keying in upon promotion-worthy content and topic ideas.
  • Partner with the design team, employer brand, and other internal partners to strengthen our brand voice and ensure cohesive messaging across channels, ultimately driving preference and conversion.
  • Publish content on our website and provide actionable feedback on opportunities to improve our CMS and unlock scale.
  • Build and refine processes to ensure content on kin.com is up-to-date, accurate, and impactful.
  • Leverage AI tools like Gemini and ChatGPT to drive team efficiencies.
