Growmodo transforms how companies scale in a fast-changing world. Instead of hiring headaches, our partners get flexible design, development, and growth memberships — powered by talented humans and amplified by AI.

Our Operating Rhythm™ runs in 30-day Membership Cycles: intake build review deliver reset. This creates predictability, speed, and consistent value for our partners — and a calm, structured workflow for our team.

The Role

We're looking for a Marketing & Content Strategist to lead and evolve our content system across social media, landing pages, and podcasts — with SEO and web content as secondary areas of focus.

Your mission: design AI-powered, scalable content systems that deliver high-impact assets across channels. You'll transform our brand into a growth flywheel that attracts, educates, and converts — with speed, creativity, and quality.

If you're an independent, strategic thinker who thrives in async, remote-first environments — and you know how to turn words into outcomes — this is for you.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Content Strategy: Plan and manage rolling 30-day editorial calendars aligned with campaigns, launches, and brand priorities.

  • AI Workflows: Use and train others on tools like ChatGPT, Jasper, Surfer, and Clearscope to streamline research, drafting, and editing.

  • Social & Ads: Create mobile-first content such as reels, carousels, short-form scripts, and both paid and organic assets.

  • Landing Pages: Build conversion-optimized page frameworks that support lead generation and campaign goals.

  • Podcasts & Video: Script and repurpose long-form thought leadership into reels, video snippets, and shareable clips.

  • SEO & Web Copy (Secondary): Support blog content, case studies, and partner website refreshes.

  • Editorial Leadership: Build and enforce tone-of-voice guidelines, mentor writers/editors, and maintain high-quality standards.

  • Reporting & Metrics: Track key KPIs like reach, conversions, production speed, and editorial acceptance.

  • Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with PMs, designers, video producers, and Customer Success.

Your First 90 Days

  • Audit existing content and finalize new systems and frameworks.

  • Launch the editorial calendar and briefing templates.

  • Publish 40+ content assets across social, landing pages, and podcasts.

  • Ship at least one complete internal or external podcast/video script.

  • Improve overall content production speed by 30% vs. the current baseline.

Success Looks Like

  • Social reach and engagement grow by 25% month-over-month.

  • Landing pages convert above industry benchmarks.

  • 15+ podcast/video episodes are produced and repurposed into social content.

  • Editorial acceptance rate remains at or above 95%.

  • Content is shipped within 5 business days from brief to publish.

  • AI workflows are integrated into 90% or more of content production.


You Must Have

  • Proven experience in multi-channel content strategy, with a strong emphasis on social, landing pages, and podcasting.

  • Excellent copywriting and scripting skills; you write like a human, not a template.

  • Working knowledge of SEO and website content strategy.

  • Confidence using and teaching AI tools for content ideation, drafting, and optimization.

  • Strong editorial leadership skills, including tone/voice development, playbooks, and mentoring.

  • Excellent async communication and collaboration skills using tools like Notion, Asana, and Slack.

This Role Is NOT for You If

  • You're a “blog-only” content strategist stuck in long-form SEO content.

  • You need extended timelines and struggle to meet short sprint deadlines.

  • You resist AI, automation, or experimentation in content creation.

  • You're a task-taker waiting for instructions; we need owners.

  • You struggle with remote-first, async work environments.

Bonus Points If You

  • Have experience working in fast-growing, async-first remote teams.

  • Have built a podcast or video content system from scratch.

  • Have managed freelance content teams or editorial partners.

  • Can show measurable content-driven results (engagement, leads, conversion).

  • Understand how brand voice and performance goals work together.
