Team 201 is looking for an AI-native B2B Content Manager who can create high-performing content and run the system that brings it to life.
This is not a traditional editorial or project management role. We need a strong writer who can move fluidly between long-form and short-form content—then manage an efficient production queue involving full-time team members, fractional specialists and AI-powered workflows.
You’ll turn complex ideas from B2B technology companies into clear, compelling content designed to drive action. You’ll also own the operational engine behind that content: managing intake, priorities, assignments, reviews, approvals and deadlines so work moves from idea to published asset without unnecessary friction.
The right person combines the instincts of a conversion copywriter, the judgment of a B2B content strategist and the rigor of a content operations lead.
What You’ll DoWrite Conversion-Driven B2B Content- Translate complex technologies, products and business ideas into clear, persuasive content.
- Write across formats, including:
- Website and landing-page copy
- Campaign messaging
- Thought-leadership articles and executive bylines
- Case studies and customer stories
- Email campaigns and nurture sequences
- Organic and paid social content
- Sales enablement materials
- Video scripts, briefs and supporting copy
- Shift comfortably between a deeply researched long-form article and a concise LinkedIn post, headline or CTA.
- Adapt voice, depth and technical complexity for different brands, audiences and stages of the buyer journey.
- Build content around a defined audience, business objective and conversion action—not simply a publishing calendar.
- Interview subject-matter experts and turn their expertise into differentiated, credible content.
- Edit and strengthen work produced by internal contributors, freelancers and AI.
- Own the content queue from intake and prioritization through production, approval and publication.
- Turn strategies and campaign ideas into clear briefs, assignments, timelines and deliverables.
- Match projects with the right full-time or fractional resource based on subject matter, format, skill set, capacity and budget.
- Coordinate writers, designers, strategists, video partners, subject-matter experts and client stakeholders.
- Maintain visibility into what is planned, in progress, awaiting review, blocked and ready to publish.
- Identify bottlenecks early and keep multiple workstreams moving without sacrificing quality.
- Establish practical standards for briefing, drafting, review, version control, approvals and content reuse.
- Balance deadlines and available resources across competing priorities.
- Determine when AI can accelerate a task, when human expertise is essential and how the two should work together.
- Use AI as an embedded part of research, ideation, drafting, repurposing, editing and quality assurance.
- Build and maintain reusable prompts, agents, templates and workflows that improve speed and consistency.
- Create review systems that evaluate content against the brief, brand voice, audience needs, factual accuracy and conversion objective.
- Continuously test new tools and processes, adopting those that create measurable improvements rather than novelty.
- Protect quality and originality by applying strong human judgment to every AI-assisted output.
- Partner with GTM, demand generation, SEO, paid media, web and sales stakeholders to connect content to broader business goals.
- Use performance data to identify which messages, formats and topics are driving engagement and conversion.
- Recommend how content should be refreshed, repurposed or distributed across channels.
- Develop systems for getting more value from strong ideas rather than treating every deliverable as a one-off asset.
- Help improve the team’s overall content velocity, consistency and effectiveness.
- Support the strategy and content production for select B2B social media accounts.
- Develop content themes, channel plans and campaign ideas aligned with each client’s audience, brand and GTM priorities.
- Identify timely content opportunities based on company news, executive perspectives, industry conversations and performance insights.
- Write and edit social content, from short-form posts and executive thought leadership to campaign series and paid social copy.
- Manage the social content queue across ideation, briefing, writing, design, client review, scheduling and publication.
- Coordinate internal and fractional contributors to keep social deliverables moving efficiently and on schedule.
- Review performance and use the findings to strengthen future content, messaging and channel recommendations.
- Provide account management support from a content perspective, including participating in client calls, presenting ideas, managing feedback and maintaining visibility into priorities and deliverables.
- A minimum of 6–8 years of experience creating and managing content for B2B technology companies.
- A portfolio demonstrating excellent short-form and long-form writing across multiple formats.
- Strong conversion-copywriting instincts and an understanding of how content supports pipeline, revenue and customer growth.
- Experience identifying and tracking KPIs across content motions, and shifting strategy when necessary based on the data
- Experience translating technical or complex subject matter into accessible, differentiated messaging.
- Demonstrated ability to manage a high-volume production queue involving multiple contributors and stakeholders.
- Experience directing and editing freelance, fractional or internal creative resources.
- Fluency with modern AI tools and hands-on experience building repeatable AI-assisted content workflows.
- Strong editorial judgment, including the ability to recognize generic, inaccurate or off-brand AI output.
- Experience supporting B2B social media strategy, content production and client relationships.
- The ability to confidently participate in client conversations, present recommendations and navigate feedback.
- Excellent prioritization, communication and stakeholder-management skills.
- Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where priorities, formats and client needs can shift quickly.
- The ability to operate as both a hands-on individual contributor and the person accountable for keeping the broader system moving.
- Think about the buyer and desired action before you begin writing.
- Can absorb unfamiliar subject matter quickly and ask sharp questions.
- Know the difference between content that sounds polished and content that actually communicates something.
- Enjoy creating a 1,500-word article as much as refining a six-word headline.
- Can move naturally between creating the work, directing contributors and advising clients.
- Treat AI as part of your operating model—not a substitute for strategy, expertise or judgment.
- Naturally create order around complex, multi-contributor workflows.
- Give direct, useful feedback that helps other creators produce better work.
- Care equally about the quality of the final asset and the efficiency of the process behind it.
Within the first six months, you will have:
- Established a clear, visible and reliable content production system.
- Increased content velocity while maintaining or improving quality.
- Created repeatable AI-assisted workflows for writing, review and repurposing.
- Produced strong content across multiple clients, industries, formats and funnel stages.
- Improved the consistency of briefs, drafts, feedback and approvals.
- Made it easier to deploy the right internal or fractional resources against each assignment.
- Strengthened the strategy, quality and production consistency of key social media accounts.
- Connected content decisions more directly to audience needs, campaign goals and conversion performance.
