- Great judgment and taste. You know when AI helps and when it makes things worse

- You've actually built with AI tools, not just used ChatGPT in a browser

- Solid SEO fundamentals and a point of view on how AI search (AEO) changes them

What the job involves

- As Director, Content Marketing, reporting to the VP of Marketing, you'll own content at Gorgias: brand, thought leadership, social, and community

- Content has done its job here. The blog, the research, the customer stories — they built a brand 17,000 merchants recognize. But we're not the company we were when most of it was written. The product is evolving, the ICP is shifting, and AI is changing how we work

- We're an AI-first platform moving upmarket, and the content hasn't caught up. Your job is to rebuild the program for that next chapter: a sharper strategy, a clearer voice,



more amplification, and AI-powered production that lets a small team ship like a big one

- Set the content marketing strategy and do the work. This is a hands-on role today, with a team growing around it

- Own the content marketing strategy (creation + amplification) across brand, thought leadership, social, community, and customer-led content, plus the editorial calendar and production process

- Build AI-powered workflows in Claude Code and Cortex (our internal AI layer) that turn research and customer insight into finished content faster. Decide what AI touches and what it doesn't

- Make Gorgias show up where buyers are looking: social media, communities, search rankings (SEO) and AI answers (AEO). You'll be the team's expert in these

- Create content that reaches and creates affinity with ecommerce decision-makers before they're in a buying cycle, and preference when they are in cycle

- Work from what customers actually say, and make Gorgias synonymous with solving their pains; Cortex, Gong calls, BuildBetter feedback, and Ecom Lab research are full of content ideas; your job is turning them into programs

- Write for enterprise buyers: persona-specific content for the bigger buying committees and longer sales cycles we see upmarket

- Partner with demand gen, PMM, and leadership so content supports the story we're telling as we move beyond "help desk.”

- Hire and manage a social media/community teammate as the function grows

- Content marketing has leadership attention and room to run here. What it doesn't have yet is the new playbook. That's the job
