About this role

Lightfield is seeking a Head of Content to build and scale our entire content engine from our San Francisco headquarters. This full-time leadership role suits an experienced storyteller and modern search strategist ready to shape the market narrative for an innovative AI business platform.

Role Overview

As the Head of Content, you will operate as a builder with a broad surface area, driving founder thought leadership, customer success stories, search engine optimization, answer-engine optimization, and creator partnerships. Reporting directly to the Head of GTM, you will collaborate closely with the founders to translate their insights into high-signal content across essays, podcasts, and digital channels while laying the groundwork for a growing content team.

Key Responsibilities

Serve as the engine behind the founders' voices, creating a sustainable, high-signal presence across posts, essays, podcasts, talks, and video formats.
Transform customer outcomes into compelling, repeatable stories that reinforce brand trust and fuel organic word-of-mouth growth.
Own traditional organic search alongside the emerging discipline of AI answer-engine representation, ensuring structured content and citable source material.
Scale a creator program by partnering with trusted operators, practitioners, and influencers in the B2B space.
Build the complete content operating system, including editorial calendars, briefs, standards, distribution playbooks, and analytics.
Scale content output through external contractors and agencies while remaining hands-on for critical deliverables.
Partner with growth marketing teams to use performance data to guide overall content strategy and pipeline generation.

Requirements

Exceptional writing and editing skills with the ability to ghostwrite effectively for a strong founder voice.
Deep understanding of both content creation and modern distribution channels, including social media, newsletters, and communities.
Fluency in modern search dynamics, including traditional SEO and how AI assistants surface and cite sources.
AI-native workflow habits, utilizing artificial intelligence for research, drafting, and analysis while maintaining exceptionally high quality standards.
Ability to thrive in an early-stage company environment characterized by ambiguity, high standards, and rapid daily execution.
Genuine passion for startups, modern go-to-market strategies, and how AI is reshaping business operations.

Nice to Have

6+ years of professional experience in content marketing, editorial roles, or journalism.
Background working at a technical product company or within a developer, data, or AI-adjacent space.
Prior experience building or managing a B2B creator or influencer program.
Video and short-form production experience, or comfort appearing on camera.
Published work demonstrating how AI answers should properly cite a source.

Salary and Benefits

Competitive annual salary ranging between $210,000 and $260,000 USD.
Meaningful early equity in the company.
Comprehensive health insurance covering medical, dental, and vision.
3 weeks of paid time off (PTO).
