Head of Editorial Content

Responsibilities

• Build editorial strategy and a content calendar that ladders up to Deepgram’s company narrative, key messages, and major moments.
• Develop editorial themes around voice AI, enterprise AI, model development, customer impact, agents, and the future of human-AI interaction.
• Mine stories across research, engineering, product, customers, GTM, and leadership; interview internal and external stakeholders to surface insights.
• Write, edit, and produce core narrative materials, including executive posts, essays, customer stories, explainers, newsletters and launch support across formats and channels.
• Create repeatable editorial franchises and formats that reinforce Deepgram’s narrative over time.
• Make Deepgram’s technical, product, and customer stories more useful, more accessible, and more compelling.
• Support major moments, including the fall event.
• Partner with communications, product marketing, brand, design, video, and demand generation.
• Build editorial processes that improve quality and consistency without making everything heavy.

Requirements

• 8+ years in editorial, content, journalism, or a related field, with significant experience creating thoughtful content around complex technology.
• A body of work that proves it: you can point to pieces that built a genuine point of view, not just filled a calendar.
• Taste. You know what's actually interesting, what reads as credible, and how to make technical work feel relevant and compelling without flattening it into generic marketing.
• Exceptional writing and editing range across formats—executive essays, customer stories, explainers, newsletters—with a high bar for clarity, substance, and craft.
• Proven ability to produce high-quality work on a demanding schedule—you can sustain a newsroom-style cadence without letting quality slip, and you see consistency as a way to build authority rather than a reason to settle.
• The instincts of a reporter: you can interview researchers, engineers, product people, and customers, get to the heart of complex material, and surface the insight worth publishing.
• The ability to make technical depth accessible without losing substance, so the work stays useful to sophisticated readers while remaining readable for everyone else.
• A track record of building repeatable editorial formats and franchises that hold quality and consistency over time, not one-off hits.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a builder's mindset—you're energized by shaping an editorial function from the ground up, and can create lightweight processes that raise quality without making everything heavy.
• A collaborative style, with experience partnering across communications, product marketing, brand, design, video, and demand gen, plus the relationship-building instinct to keep ideas surfacing from across the company.
• Enough fluency in (or real curiosity about) technical subject matter to engage credibly with topics like model development, enterprise AI, and agents. You don't need to be an engineer, but curiosity here is non-negotiable.

Nice-to-Haves

• A background in technology journalism or editorial—covering startups, AI, infrastructure, developer tools, or enterprise tech (think TechCrunch, VentureBeat, or a strong independent newsletter).
• Time on an in-house editorial team at a company that treats content as a product (Stripe, Notion, GitHub, and the like).
• Experience shaping a company's voice as a founder, executive, or ghostwriter in a technically complex environment.
• Experience at an editorial agency or studio (Animalz or similar) working across complex technical clients, and ready to own a function in-house.
