About the role

What you'll own

Distribution

  • Build Pylon's audience from the ground up across X, LinkedIn, and wherever the conversation is actually happening.
  • Own the channel strategy, grow the following, figure out what works and do more of it.

Content

  • Create content that earns attention: opinionated takes on the mortgage industry, showcasing our team and customers, original data and research, formats no one in this space has tried yet.

Founder presence

  • Work directly with our CEO to build his presence alongside your own.
  • Help translate what Pylon knows about the mortgage industry into content that reaches customers, talent, and investors.

Experiments

  • Run growth experiments end-to-end: hypothesis, test, read the results, share what you learned.
  • Test fast with budget and autonomy.

Community and earned media

  • Identify and activate the channels where our buyers actually are: communities, newsletters, podcasts, events.
  • Build relationships with the writers, operators, and influencers who shape how people in mortgage and fintech think about infrastructure.

What we're looking for

  • You have taste. You know what great content looks like and why most of it misses.
  • You've grown something from zero (an account, a community, a product) and you know what actually made it work.
  • You're fluent on social as a practitioner (not just a user). You understand how platforms distribute content and you engineer for it.
  • You've grown a following from zero and can point to the specific moves that made it happen.
  • You've actually built content systems using AI (vs used ChatGPT to write captions).
  • You can write arguments, narratives, and ideas that make people want to share them.
  • You own the numbers: tracking what's working, why, and can report it back in a way that informs what comes next.
  • You're comfortable being a face of the brand.

What we're not looking for

  • Someone who needs approval to post.
  • Someone who measures success by the size of a content calendar.
  • Someone whose best case study is a rebrand.
