About the role
- Own the editorial calendar and execute a content strategy designed to shift specific brand perceptions about Recidiviz and the challenges we are solving.
- Build the internal infrastructure to regularly surface impact stories—from data wins to user quotes—and package them into case studies, blog posts, and whitepapers.
- Identify and evaluate press and award opportunities that reach specific audiences rather than chasing vanity metrics in broad outlets. You will manage our reputation by balancing visibility with thoughtful context.
- Partner with Product Marketing to build a library of state case studies that help our partnership teams show new agencies what is possible, and existing partners the case for more ambitious impact.
- Capture the voice of our executive team to ghostwrite Op-Eds, LinkedIn articles, and speeches that position Recidiviz as a leading govtech innovator.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in content marketing, communications, or journalism, with a portfolio of complex topics translated into compelling narratives.
- You have a finely tuned sense of "safe" vs. "risky" media. You understand how to steer in polarized environments and can judge which stories will build trust and support the goals of government leaders.
- You are comfortable toggling between "Marketing Mode" (AEO, case studies) and "Comms Mode" (reputation, media relations).
- Ability to manage an editorial calendar independently, coordinating with internal subject matter experts (SEMs) to extract insights without burdening them.
- Experience humanizing deeply technical or data-driven content for diverse audiences.
- A proven ability to interview subjects, find the "hook," and meet strict deadlines.
- Producing content across video, podcasts, events, long and short-form writing, and interactive formats.
Benefits
- 90% medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage for you and your dependents
- Flexible time off, including 20 days of PTO, 3 days of paid volunteering time, and 13 paid holidays per year
- 401(k) retirement plan with 5% company match and no vesting period
- 12 weeks of paid parental leave
- Complimentary One Medical membership (availability based on location)
- Partnership with Carrot to provide employees with inclusive fertility and family-forming benefits, as well as a small but growing number of hormonal health and gender-affirming care benefits
- Monthly ClassPass credit for personal wellness
- Free mental health support via Talkspace
- Well-located offices in Oakland and Manhattan, with the flexibility to work remotely or go into either office as you choose
- An annual company offsite and other ad-hoc gatherings
- All the exhilarating challenges and stretch opportunities of a tech startup, combined with the mission-driven heart of a nonprofit
