This week's job roundup includes content leadership roles at a wide range of companies.
Fintech company Chime, biotech company Amgen, loan marketplace LendingTree, luxury apparel brand Lafayette 148, and climate tech company Watershed are all hiring people to lead their content operations at the director level and above. They're paying accordingly, with salaries topping out between $195,000 and $280,000.
Still, like we've seen in past weeks, it's the frontier AI companies that are paying top dollar. OpenAI and Anthropic once again came in at the top of our list in terms of compensation. OpenAI is paying up to $318,000 for a program manager to build its partner storytelling and customer proof program, and Anthropic is paying up to $295,000 for a technical editor to write and edit the content that it publishes about its own systems.
For several companies on this week's job board, content is increasingly coming in the form of customer proof. These employers are looking for someone who can dive into customer results and extract the most interesting story.
Forus' Customer Marketing & Content Lead will "identify the strongest stories and ideas" from across the company's "customer base, provider network, patient experience, data, and broader healthcare ecosystem" and "interview clinicians, executives, operators, patients, and industry leaders to understand complex problems and uncover the substance behind each story."
OpenAI's newest program manager will "lead case studies, whitepapers, webinars, and other content that connects partner expertise and OpenAI capabilities to specific customer challenges, use cases, and measurable outcomes."
And Fullstory's Senior Manager of Content and Communications will "turn customer insights, product innovation, and expert perspectives into stories that earn attention, build trust, and prove our value."
We're also starting to see the content and communications functions merging into one role that leads brand storytelling end to end.
For example, Chime and Fullstory both list media relations, executive communications, and editorial content as the responsibility of one senior hire.
Fullstory referred to this role as its "commercial editor-in-chief," saying this person will "shape Fullstory’s voice, write and edit high-stakes work," and "help colleagues communicate with clarity and confidence.”
Meanwhile, the Chime job description reads: "A core part of this role is making sure the story we tell the press, the story we tell through our own channels, and the story we tell through social and creator voices all work together." It's hiring for its B2B arm, Chime Enterprise.
Know a role we missed? Send it our way, and it could make next week's list.
We'll see you back here next week with another roundup of brand journalism jobs.
